What Makes A Case
Recognizing
Potential Medical Malpractice
These cases focus on substandard medical care to patients.
- Probability increases when the client or the client's family complains about medical care.
- Complaints may take the form of the existence of unanswered questions, results that went wrong, or indications that important information was withheld.
- Patient diagnosis in a timely manner is an important consideration.
- Medical disclosures should be reviewed.
- Pre-operative test and surgical techniques should be questioned.
- Post-operative symptoms should be reviewed for appropriateness.
Recognizing Potential Auto Product Liability
These cases focus on the failure of a vehicle to protect occupants in a crash.
- Liability becomes an issue when vehicular performance seems to be unusual or when a vehicle system fails.
- Typical failures include structural, air bag, seat belt, and/or windshield failure.
- Injuries occurring inside the vehicle by the occupants on impact should be questioned.
- A fire may suggest malfunction and, thus, liability.
