Medical Malpractice Legal Questions

There are 2 issues: 1) medical malpractice 2) personal injury.  The former claim exists if the medical practitioners at the first hospital were negligent.  It certainly seems that way, but you should speak to a personal injury attorney promptly to seek a medical opinion as that is required to proceed.  Similarly, a personal injury attorney can help your nephew explore potential recovery from the person who hit him. I trust this answers your questions and, if you live in the Delaware Valley, feel free to call or email me on a free initial basis.   Best Regards,   Matthew R.

You have a lot of symptoms that may be related to your epidural but you have no medical evidence or doctors giving any correlation. There may be a case here, but i think your damages may be too low to warrant the massive cost it would take to create the foundation for a case.  Unless you want to committ a small fortune to this matter,  I would move on. Also, I'm not certain its medical malpractice or products liability.... Read Answer

I handle malpractice cases in Georgia and Florida.  Georgia used to have statute that placed caps on the amount a jury could award as damages in a medical malpractice case.  However, several years ago the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the one-size-fits-all damage cap violated the Georgia Constitution.  An appeallate Court may still conclude that any particular verdict is so high that it shocks the conscience and should be reduced, but it is on a case-by-case basis and there is no set cap on any case. Many other State Supreme Courts have reached the same conclusion as to their State malpractice caps, including Florida.  If you are a healthcare provider seeking medical malpractice liability insurance, you should probably seek the advice one or two medical malpractice insurance companies in your state as to the amounts most healthcare providers in your particular medical speciality usually carry, and why.  Best of luck to you,   Scott R.

Sorry, but absent objective cooroboration, such allegations get little to no traction simply because your bare testimony is not credible. Espcially the notion of a psychiatrist hiding you from a Marchman Act Order as this would asily cost them thier license and expose them to incarceration. You will need to be prepared to pay legal fees and investigative expenses up front as no coherent lawyer will pursue such a case on your claims alone. ... Read Answer
