We expect the best from our doctors when we go to visit them. However, sometimes they make the mistake of misdiagnosing a condition, or even failing to diagnose one altogether. When this happens, it could be life threatening for the patient. The doctor's failure to diagnose a condition may put the patient and their loved ones through avoidable suffering. If this happens, the patient and their family may have grounds for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit.

I tend to read news from back home (Lancaster, PA) even though I’ve lived in California for the last 15+ years. While no surgeon sets out to harm a patient, mistakes do happen. These mistakes are often compounded by delays and misdiagnoses. I’ve spent the last 9 years reviewing medical records and gleaning just this sort of data from the volumes of available information. Medical errors tend to be buried deep within the chart, sometimes covered by layers of superfluous information. It’s crucial to have someone on your team who knows where to look for these errors and how to dig them out. Contact me today and let’s chat about how I can help you quickly discover vital details on your next medical malpractice or personal injury case!

Here's a funny paradox which lawyers grasp easily, but might seem wacko to prospective clients. Really bad medical care – and I mean stuff that is truly awful – does not necessarily equate to a viable medical malpractice case. In a medical malpractice case, there must be medical care which is negligent (often called a breach of the standard of care), and that negligence must have caused harm. Credible expert testimony is required to prove both points. The threshold is high. These cases are complicated and expensive. I understand this - almost reflexively at this point. Lay people are a different matter - and that should not surprise me, but it still does sometimes. We are frequently contacted by patients who have had a nightmarish medical experience. You hear the tale and cringe. However, while the outcome could have been a disaster, it wasn’t. The care was atrocious – there is often no doubt about that – but in the end no harm was done. The patient is no worse off than if he or she had gotten good care. We decline those cases – and at times we’ve seen people get really upset about it. “But they came close to killing me!” That’s a response we have heard a few times. Consider that old expression about close only counting in horseshoes and grenades. Recently, I had someone get extremely unhappy with me about such a decision. Trying to be a calm and wise attorney - or at least sound like one - I explained the situation in a number of ways. Nothing seemed to work. Finally, I got exasperated: “Would you rather be dead? You’d have a good case – if you were dead. You wanna be dead? Just tell me.” Personally, I don't think I yelled, but the character on the other end of the line might have had a different perspective. In the end, this individual was not exactly persuaded – he still wanted compensation for bad care – but he did admit to being glad he was alive. Yes indeed. Alive and well is good. Seriously, we do no one any favors by taking cases where there is not a reasonable chance of getting a recovery for the client. We have a lot of experience. While we are not perfect, we know what we are doing. It’s our duty to give our best advice. Bottom line: You must be honest with people, even if it is not what they want to hear. A client should expect nothing less from their lawyers. And as lawyers, we should never forget that what seems quite logical and normal to us, may sound like crazy s*** to someone who is not a lawyer. Regardless, we can all agree that being alive is preferable to the alternative. #lawyerlife #lawpractice #clients #perspective
