Construction workers know the job is dangerous. It requires working with heavy-duty equipment, being high above the ground and moving heavy objects. Laws and standard practices are there to protect those workers from harm.
But sometimes things go wrong, whether it be a true accident or the result of someone else’s negligence. These incidents can lead to serious injuries or even death. So just how dangerous is the construction industry compared to other lines of work?
People are rushed to the local hospital’s emergency room to get immediate medical attention after a sudden illness or accident. We count on EMTs and ER doctors to work quickly to save our lives, but also not to make misdiagnoses or other mistakes that actually make things worse.
Medical malpractice is never acceptable, but some doctors’ errors are simply baffling. For instance, say you tripped and fell, slammed your face against a piece of furniture and were taken to the ER. Wouldn’t you expect medical staff to at least check for brain and spinal injuries?
Driving in the early spring can mean dealing with snow one day, rain the next and fog on the weekend. The variable weather makes for anxious commutes and close calls on the freeways are common.
One thing all drivers can do to make these conditions a little more bearable is approaching them with the right tires. Do you know which ones should be on your car?
Strokes are dangerous and all too common.
According to the American Stroke Association, someone has a stroke every 40 seconds, and each year nearly 800,000 people experience a stroke. What are the types of strokes one can experience, and how do doctors miss them?
When we leave our health to the care of a doctor, nurse, pharmacist or care provider, we expect to receive the treatment we need. Unfortunately, that's not always the reality for some patients.
If you think a medical professional may have been negligent in caring or treating you, read on to determine whether you may be able to file a medical malpractice claim.
California's insurance commissioner has just launched an investigation into Aetna after learning a former medical director for the insurer admitted under oath he never looked at patients' records when deciding whether to approve or deny care. Insurance companies have an obligation to perform due dilligence. When they fail to do so, they may save money but damage untold numbers of people who thought they were insured and were not able to fight back.
When it comes to car insurance, most consumers are focused on getting the lowest possible monthly premium. However, this can actually hurt you if you are not aware of what the medical coverages are in your policy.
Medical Malpractice is one of the main areas of the law that I specialize in covering. This article will give you some basic guidance on when you should consider filing a suit.
