Health Care Legal Questions

      Dear Myron, I am sorry that you are having issues walking and you PCP is not helping you. Based only upon this information, it is not possible for me to answer this question other than to suggest that you consult a Medical Malpractice attorney. The attorney will need more information, and will need to consider what effect any medical error has had on what the likely outcome would have been in the absence of the error. A Medical Malpractice Attorney can explore these issues with you and review records prior to potentially sending them out for review by appropriate medical experts free of charge to you. There are often many stages to this inquiry. Ultimately, the answer to your question will depend upon medical expert review of all relevant records to determine whether the standard of care was breached and if that breach directly caused or contributed to causing you serious and permanent injuries. We give free consultations and if we take the case, it would be on a contingent fee basis. These are most often very tough cases with time constraints and pre-suit requirements. Start this process with a free consultation by a Medical Malpractice lawyer. Providing the necessary medical records may help speed up the process for the reviewing attorney. Better sooner rather than later to see if you have a viable case. Furthermore, the Statute of Limitation for bringing a complex Medical Malpractice lawsuit is relatively short. Loren L. Gold, Esq...

  Dear Marie, I am sorry to hear about this and hope your condition improves.

  I am sorry to hear about your injury and hope that you recover fully. More facts are needed as well as evidence preservation which can be discussed in consultation with a Personal Injury attorney who can investigate this matter on your behalf and determine all possible responsible parties rather attempting to pursue this on your own. An experienced professional can guide and advise you and evaluate your claim. However, if you are interested in consulting with one of us, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit on this forum. Do not delay so as not to prejudice your rights....

Most likely you have a case if the evidence proves what you allege. The theory of liability would be negligent supervision by the staff employees to allow this to happen. Discuss your case with counsel about possible contingency fee representation which means you pay nothing unless you win the case. ... Read Answer

Hello.  Yes, your mother inlaw's insurance should take care of her bills, not you.  Was there a defective condition at your house that caused the injury, like a broken tile, raised crack/step that was not obvious/marked?  If so, your homeowner's insurance would be responsible for paying for her injuries/bills, and you should submit a claim to insurance on her behalf for that....

You have the right to determine what happens with your medical records.  If you instruct your physician to provide the results to your employer he does not have the right to refuse.  If you run into issues demand your file from them and you can directly provide the results to your employer.  BTW, do you mean, HIPAA guidleines? ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act.  HIPAA deals with the privacy of your medical records. Keep in mind that the decision to release medical records to your employer is your alone.  It sounds like they may be over-reaching in their requests.  For additional guidance I suggest sitting down with a qualified attorney in your area. Best of luck.... Read Answer

You absolutely have a case against the nursing home. There is no question that the injury occured while your mom was under the care of the nursing home and since your mother is immobile, she did nothing to contribute to her own injury.  Your mother was obviously allowed to fall by an orderly or other nursing home staff when she was being transported, cleaned or turned in bed and the nursing home is responsible and should be held liable for money damages under the theory of "res ipsa loquitur", which roughly translates as it could not have happened any other way than through the negligence of the nursing home. And this is a negligence (not medical malpractice) case.  Keep in mind that the statute of limitations to start a negligence action is three years from the date of the injuries. ... Read Answer
