When a medical professional such as a doctor causes harm to a patient, either through an act of negligence or one of omission, this is medical malpractice. Negligence can include errors in diagnosis as well as treatment or management. Medical malpractice cases can be pursued against a doctor whose actions are not within the range of accepted practices, against a hospital which fails to properly provide medication or other personal or medical care, or against government agencies which administer medical facilities.

Medical malpractice laws are meant to protect patients. They are often difficult and expensive. The law protects patients by allowing them to pursue financial damages, but the complexity of these suits mean that lawsuits for minor injuries are not a realistic option. If you have a medical malpractice claim, you should consult with an experienced attorney to explore your options. Read More

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), someone is involved in a car accident every ten seconds in the United States. This high frequency of car accidents makes motor vehicle accidents the most common personal injury cases in the courts today. In most states, motor vehicle accidents are covered by negligence law, although some states have laws (known as "no-fault" laws) that state that the driver that caused the accident is irrelevant to the case. Generally, however, motor vehicle drivers have to use the amount of care that a reasonable person would employ under the circumstances. Negligence is failing to use reasonable care. Drivers who are found to be negligent may be required to pay damages for causing any injury to other people and any vehicle damages. To collect these damages, the injured party (known as the plaintiff) must show some facts about the other driver (known as the defendant) and the accident. The plaintiff must show that he or she was injured, that defendant was negligent, that the defendant's negligence caused the accident, and that the accident caused the plaintiff's injuries. If you were in a motor vehicle accident, a personal injury lawyer with experience in motor vehicle accidents can give you legal advice on how to best protect yourself and your interests. Read More
