I have a lot of experience with medical malpractice cases.
[00:00:08.320]
There are a wide range of negligence that result in injuries to clients.
[00:00:15.000]
One of those areas is the failure to diagnose infections.
[00:00:20.320]
This is a very serious problem
[00:00:22.320]
and can result in extremely serious injuries to a person,
[00:00:26.960]
including going into what's called septic shock.
[00:00:30.360]
This is an injury that can lead to death and does lead to death
[00:00:34.080]
if it's not properly treated timely.
[00:00:37.480]
I also have experience in surgical areas where doctors,
[00:00:42.120]
there's a consent to do surgery on one part of the body,
[00:00:45.080]
and the doctor negligently cuts an adjoining bone
[00:00:50.960]
and these injuries also can be really devastating to people.
[00:00:56.400]
If the doctors ignore their duty in this regard,
[00:01:00.040]
the injuries are devastating
[00:01:01.320]
and people are left with permanent disabilities, unfortunately.
[00:01:04.800]
Another area of medical malpractice cases that I'm involved with
[00:01:09.440]
is psychiatrists dispensing controlled substances.
[00:01:14.800]
Unfortunately, doctors will use those prescription pads,
[00:01:18.360]
they'll make the pharmaceutical companies happy
[00:01:21.000]
and their patients often suffer tremendously.
[00:01:25.200]
It's vitally important to have a lawyer on your side.
[00:01:28.960]
You must call a lawyer.
[00:01:30.880]
Very rarely do doctors or really anyone in our society
[00:01:35.440]
take responsibility for their conduct.
[00:01:38.560]
It's not the way our society is set up.
[00:01:41.320]
So it's really important you get a lawyer.
[00:01:43.360]
We'll preserve evidence.
[00:01:45.520]
We'll put the other parties on notice that they have to preserve the evidence.
[00:01:50.680]
There can be sanctions for spoilation if they don't do that.
[00:01:56.680]
So it's really important to get the lawyer involved and press your case.
[00:02:01.240]
People can expect, if I'm their lawyer,
[00:02:04.160]
for me always to be getting back to them promptly, explaining to them
[00:02:08.440]
what decisions have to be made, giving them counsel as to the decisions
[00:02:12.640]
and letting them decide,
[00:02:14.080]
especially when it comes time to resolve the case,
[00:02:16.960]
giving an opinion on what the value of the case is,
[00:02:20.480]
letting them know the upside, the downside and giving them counsel
[00:02:23.680]
as to the resolution, also preparing them
[00:02:26.600]
for all the court appearances and depositions
[00:02:29.160]
so they know fully what to expect.
