Anesthesia has been used many years to get rid of the feeling of pain that are experiencing physical trauma. When doctors are performing medical procedures such as a surgery, they will administer the painkiller. Anesthesia blocks the nerves from feeling pain. The term is defined as 'reversing the lack of awareness'.
Hospitals and other medical facilities have commonly used the term general anesthesia. This puts the patient into a state of semi-consciousness; it relaxes the body during the procedure. Malpractice relative to anesthesia is becoming more common. Cases show wrongful administration of the medication that has led to cerebral palsy, stroke and death.
Lawyer Malpractice
Anesthesia Malpractice Is a Common Occurrence
Anesthesia Malpractice
In the United States, research proves anesthesia errors counts for a great number of malpractice cases. The fraction of doctors that were required to pay claims for mistakes they made involving anesthesia makes this type of malpractice the twelfth highest medical specialty. Errors in the administration of anesthesia can be life-changing.
It is surprising that how common this form of malpractice is because it is difficult to prove negligence of a doctor or any other staff. Hospital and medical facilities should keep adequate medical notes of the patient. Although there is minimal tracking records, patients will still file a claim against the negligent party when they or someone they love were harmed due to negligence.
How Do Anesthesia Mistakes Happen?
Malpractice occurs when health care facilities fail to care for their patients properly, which includes not taking enough notes regarding administration of anesthesia. It is good for medical staff to include in a patient's file:
A Pre-Anesthesia Exam
Informed Consent Form
Operative Record
Transfer Notes
Doctor Notes
Post-Anesthesia Record
Keeping these records in a patient's file may prove a mistake was made that may have been questioned before and it can show what changes were made. The operating room is not the only location where this form of malpractice can occur, others include:
Preparing for surgery
After surgery
The recovery room
While giving birth
During dental procedures

1. A 3/4 page yellow pages ad or a video channel with educational video?
Lawyer Malpractice
My question is "Why would you ever bother with the yellow pages anymore?" Since it's a money-losing proposition and most people don't use the yellow pages anymore, why would you throw away all of your marketing dollars on a static 3/4 page in a competitive market? A consumer searching for an attorney will have to wade through 20 full page ads (in New York) to find a personal injury attorney. Then they'll get to the 3/4 page ads, then the 1/2 page ads and on and on.
Lawyer Video Marketing - How Would You Spend ,000 to Market Your Law Practice?
Some lawyers say that if they use the YP as an educational tool and direct them to a website or phone number they stand a better chance of getting a call from another source. Makes sense, right? Yes, but only if the other 20 lawyers before you have rejected that person's case. You get the rejects that nobody wants.
If that's what you want to spent your ,000 on, then good luck to you. I personally think it's a mistake, but what do I know? You might prove me wrong. The only person you should be worrying about is whether that ,000 will produce a great return on your investment; not just that one client will pay for the ad- you want to generate a profit from the ad and have the ad continue producing quality, pre-qualified clients for you. Do you really think the yellow pages is the way to do that anymore?
2. TV ad or create online video?
It's unlikely you'll be able to create a series of TV ads and have them play frequently for any significant time on TV for ,000. Your 'branding' message with a TV ad is an expensive proposition. It's unlikely someone needing your services will be watching that particular show, at that particular time slot on only a few days of the week. Unless you have a huge marketing budget, TV ads will not generate the calls to your office in the way that some other media can.
My advice? Skip the TV ad genre. They're too similar and fail to explain to a viewer why they should call any one particular attorney over another.
3. Radio ads or online video?
When was the last time you called someone after listening to something on the radio? I've never done it. I'm sure others have. Radio messages are transient and fleeting. After those 15-30 seconds, your marketing dollars disappear into the radio waves, never to return.
How many radio ads do you need to create to establish frequent broadcasting to your audience? Many each day; each week and continue to do so. Will it work? Sure it will- over time; using a catchy '1-800-I-SUE-FOR-YOU' phone number. The key is knowing whether it will pay off and is a worthwhile return on your investment.
Compare that to online video. Create your video once and have it played 10 times, 100 times, 10,000 times or more, all for the same exact price of...NOTHING!
What other media allows you have your marketing message available to you any time of day or night, exactly when someone wants to know the information that you have to offer in your video? Nothing else compares.
4. Classified ads or online video?
You're kidding right? You are still using classifieds to market your services? You think you'll attract quality paying clients using Craigslist with the following type ad? "Injured? Call me. I can help." Very original. Very informative. Certainly stands out from all other attorney ads. I'm being facetious in case you couldn't tell.
Skip the classifieds and start creating your attorney video.
5. Display ads or online video?
Some attorneys love to use display ads. They offer seminars; they create advertorials; they try to stand out using a display ad. That's good marketing. However, in order to get the best rate, you need to publish your ad often and over a period of months. That will become cost prohibitive. Also, unless you can track your calls from your ad, you're wasting your money.
What happens when that newspaper is finished and gets thrown in the garbage? You see your marketing dollars going down the drain as well. It doesn't work for you while you sleep. It's not found by someone searching for your services; only if they were reading that newspaper and read up to the point where your ad appears.
When you create informative online video, after your initial cost to create and upload it, it works for you ALL the time and it costs you zero dollars. There is nothing better anywhere.
6. Direct mail or online video?
If you're a trial attorney like I am and handle personal injury and medical malpractice cases, you can't use direct mail for the general public. You can't send direct mail to patients in a hospital emergency room or even in an orthopedist's waiting room (but I bet a lot of attorneys fantasize about being able to do that!). You can't send direct mail to people who don't need your services at that time; that's a waste of money.
If you have a targeted list, then you can use direct mail to your advantage and you should. However, without a list of potential clients who will need your services, you have to have an alternative. CAVEAT: THERE ARE MANY ETHICS RULES THAT PROHIBIT DIRECT SOLICITATION OF POTENTIAL CLIENTS. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR LOCAL RULES ARE BEFORE ENGAGING IN DIRECT MAIL.
With video, it's online and available at all hours of the night or day. It will show up when a viewer is actively looking for your specialty. Optimize the chance that your video will be found and you stand a much greater chance that your viewer will call you for information instead of your competitor.
My advice: Get started creating online video today.

1. Your lawsuit is not guaranteed to win or get you money. Even with a good experienced attorney, you may still lose.
a. This is true whether you have a great case, or even a bad case.
Lawyer Malpractice
b. No one can predict the outcome of your case, even if you have all of your 'ducks lined up'.
10 Facts Your New York Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Attorney May Not Tell You
c. An experienced attorney is a guide and your advocate. He will do the best he can to achieve victory for you. However, not every case is worthy of winning, and not every case is successful. Even an attorney with an impressive list of wins to his credit can tell you of cases that he has lost. Unfortunately, that's the risk that all parties take when a case goes to trial.
2. The true value of your case is unknown until every detail of your case has been evaluated by experts.
a. At the beginning of the case, your attorney must obtain all of your medical records.
b. He must evaluate liability in your case.
c. He must review all medicals and liability.
d. He then must have his expert(s) evaluate your case, from top to bottom.
e. He must do legal research to see what similar cases have settled for and what verdicts have been rendered in similar cases.
f. He needs to do a search of appellate cases to see how the appeals courts have addressed these types of injuries.
g. He needs to know what economic losses you have suffered and what your doctors believe you will need for your future years.
3. You (the client) are obligated to pay me back for my litigation expenses, even if you lose your case.
a. This is true. However, most lawyers in New York who handle medical malpractice and personal injury do not ask the client to be repaid for all of their litigation expenses if the case is lost.
b. Can you imagine the indignity to a client after losing a trial, to be told, "By the way, you now owe me ,000 for my expenses?"
4. If you have health insurance, and health insurance paid for your medical bills, in all likelihood, you will be required to reimburse your health insurance company most of those bills...from YOUR share of the settlement, not the attorney's share.
a. The reason is simple- Since you were the one who benefited from your health insurance company paying your bills (of course you paid those hefty premiums for this benefit) any money you recover, is repaid directly from your share.
b. Your share- that means that you don't get your money until your insurance company gets their share first. Then and only then will you receive your settlement check.
5. If you bring a lawsuit on behalf of your child, any money that is awarded to your child CANNOT BE TOUCHED until he or she turns 18 years of age.
a. This is to protect your child's money, plain and simple.
b. All too often, parents, most of whom are good intentioned and some who are not, have tried to take hold of their children's money to use for their own purposes and debts. The Courts of New York refuse to make any exception to this rule.
c. Years ago, lawyers were only permitted to place this money into Savings Banks, where the money laid dormant earning minimal interest until the child turned 18 and it was withdrawn.
d. Nowadays there are usually better investment vehicles that will preserve the child's capital, and at the same time generate better investment returns than typically found in a savings account.
6. If your lawyer screws up your case or makes a mistake, he is obligated to disclose the mistake to you and advise you to either file a claim against his insurance company, or advise you to seek counsel with another attorney.
a. The reason this disclosure is advocated is that if a lawyer screws up, the client will usually not know of the problem until much later. By that time, it may be too late to file a claim against the attorney.
b. The attorney is not supposed to gain or shield himself from such legal wrongdoing.
c. If you make a mistake, own up to it. Tell the client about it. Advise them of their rights at that point.
7. All lawyers in New York are required to take continuing legal education classes to keep up to date on legal changes.
a. It makes sense. You don't want to have a lawyer who's 'out of touch' with what the law is, you want someone who is current on the law, and how it applies to your case.
b. Generally, a lawyer is required to take 24 credits of classes over a two year period.
8. "Let's sue everyone we can think of, then we'll figure out who's really responsible later."
a. If this is your attorney telling you this, I'd think twice about his or her ability and ethical obligations.
b. If a lawsuit is started against someone without having a valid basis to do so, this could be considered frivolous litigation, and might subject the attorney and client to sanctions and fines. Make sure you know who you're suing and why.
9. If you lie about the facts of your case, or about the extent of your injuries, I am out of here.
a. If I find out that you have lied about material items concerning liability or damages, I will be first on line in Court asking to be removed from your case.
b. You must tell the truth about what happened to you, and how your injuries have disabled you.
10. Even though I tell you I pay all of the litigation expenses, there may come a time when I might ask you to pay for them, otherwise I will not continue on your case.
a. The lawyer says he pays all expenses on his dime.
b. At the end of the case, when and if money is obtained for you, the lawyer is reimbursed for his expenses.
c. In a few rare instances I have seen an attorney ask the client to directly pay for their experts to come into trial, since new information indicates that the chances of winning the case are slim to none. In those cases, the attorney wanted to cut his losses and told the client, if you don't pay for the experts yourselves, "I'm asking the Court to release me as your attorney."
d. The bottom line- ask your lawyer whether this might ever happen.
Comment: I hope this article has opened your eyes to certain facts that need to be addressed with any New York attorney you choose to handle your injury case. Remember, the more information you have, the better choices you'll make. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Gerry (at no obligation or expense to you) at 516-487-8207.

Given the fact that Los Angeles is home to a large number of cosmetic surgeons and clinics that offer cosmetic surgery, the chances of people gaining access to some of the best cosmetic surgeons in Los Angeles are raised. This is because given the Hollywood profile of Los Angeles, being a successful cosmetic surgeon in Los Angeles can be one of the best ways to gain prestige in the field. However, this does not mean that all cosmetic surgeons in the city are good, as there are also cosmetic surgeons that are based in Los Angeles, which may not have enough credentials to perform cosmetic surgery. As a result, there cases in which people are "injured" by the surgery due to any deformities or other health problems caused by the surgery as a direct result of the surgeon's negligence or incompetence.
Getting a malpracticelawyer
Lawyer Malpractice
For people who suffered injuries as a result of cosmetic surgery, it is very important for them to get a good malpracticelawyer given that establishing a surgeon's culpability, especially in elective cosmetic procedures can be a complicated process. The good news is that getting a good lawyer can be a fairly simple process, as long as the necessary steps are taken that can help a person assess the capabilities of a lawyer. Among these steps, one of the most important is to ask a lawyer some very important questions, which includes asking him about his experience about these kinds of cases. As a rule of thumb, the more experienced a lawyer is with malpractice cases, the better.
Los Angeles Malpractice Attorneys
Another important question to ask is whether he belongs to a law firm or if he is a solo practitioner, as this can determine the type of service that people can get from the lawyer. Another very important question is how much their case is worth with regards to the compensation they could potentially receive if they win the case. It would be a good idea to get a lawyer who is more prudent in his estimates, because lawyers who promise their clients very large amounts may only have the retainer fee in mind.
For people are injured during cosmetic surgery procedures, it is very important to get a good malpracticelawyer. The good news is that doing so can be an easy process. This is because the people who take the necessary steps that can help them assess a lawyer's capabilities, which includes asking lawyers questions about their practice, often get the best lawyers who can help them get the justice and compensation they deserve.

Today's medical technology such as the latest scanning devices and laboratory analysis can accomplish things that would have been impossible fifteen years ago. You would think that this would be a good thing for you the patient. Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo, P.C., often hears complaints from doctors that because of the threat of litigation they have to practice "defensive medicine". They define that as ordering "unnecessary tests" to rule in or rule out a condition. To the extent that ordering these tests either confirms a doctor's initial suspicions or rules out an initial diagnosis so a doctor can start the proper course of therapy, we believe that such "defensive medicine" benefits, not harms the patients.
However, even tests can go wrong. You must make sure that the correct analysis has been done and the right test results returned. When a biopsy is done to rule in or rule out a cancerous condition you must make sure the test results is in actual fact, your own. Let us give you an example of a client we recently represented.
Lawyer Malpractice
Mary (not her real name) went to have a biopsy done. The test results were positive for cancer and so Mary began radiation therapy to rid herself of the cancer. You would think that catching this cancer and treating it was a good thing - except that Mary did not have cancer! It turned out that the lab mixed up her biopsy with someone else's causing Mary to endure a severe course of treatment. As a result, Mary brought suit to recover money damages for what she went through.
Medical Malpractice & Test Results - Lawyer's View
The treatment for Mary's non-existent cancer was radiation. By being exposed to that amount of radiation, Mary - who didn't have cancer to begin with - has now significantly increased her chances because radiation can cause a cancer in the future.
However, that is not the end of the story. What happened to the woman whose biopsy got mixed up with Mary's biopsy and was told that she did not have cancer? Remember, what the medical profession says about early detection of cancer -the earlier you catch and treat it, the better your chances are. The other woman was eventually diagnosed and treated, but there was a delay in treating her.
The moral of our story? Make sure you get the right test results. Do not be afraid to ask to have it confirmed that it was done right and labeled correctly. You are the patient and you have rights.

Have you been a victim of medical malpractice, or has a family member or close relative or friend been a victim? If this is true, then you may need the services of a medical malpracticelawyer.
A medical malpracticelawyer can help you sue a medical professional who was negligent or irresponsible while he or she performed a medical procedure such that you sustained a medical injury that could have been avoided if proper medical procedures had been followed.
Lawyer Malpractice
Now, it's often true that you see these 1-800 ads on television telling you to call this or that medical malpractice attorney to see if you can file damages against a health professional who has caused a specific condition, such as mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure. However, in most cases, these central organizations will not do you justice as a client. Rather, they serve as clearinghouses and make their money by racking up referrals to attorneys they serve. If you do believe you have a legitimate medical malpractice case, you're better off contacting a local attorney who specializes in medical malpractice; in some cases, you may even get an attorney who specializes in your particular complaint, such as mesothelioma caused by careless asbestos exposure.
The Approach to Finding the Best Medical Malpractice Lawyer
When you contact an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice, be aware that if you have a legitimate complaint, in general, these attorneys will not charge you up front. Instead, you'll meet with an attorney for an initial free consultation. If your case has merit, the attorney takes on your case for a percentage of your award, usually 30%. At that point, the plaintiff (you) and defendant (medical professional or organization in question) engage in the legal process via their attorneys, usually, including discovery, depositions, et cetera. If a settlement is agreed upon before trial, your case will settle out of court. If settlement is not agreed upon and you as the plaintiff do not drop charges against the defendant or the case is not otherwise dismissed, the case goes to trial and is decided by either a judge or jury.
The majority of cases that have merit are settled out of court, but if you do not bring charges against the medical professional, this is by no means an automatic thing. In other words, if you do not file charges, there is no settlement to be made.
When you look for medical malpractice attorney, look for someone with trial experience. This is because you will want an attorney who knows what he or she is doing such that you will go to trial if an agreeable settlement is not reached. You don't want an attorney who has never been to trial and is afraid to do so.
If you follow the above tips, you should find a good medical malpractice attorney for your needs provided you have a solid case with legitimate complaints. It should be noted that because medical malpractice is one area in which so-called "plaintiffs" who want to reap monetary rewards have filed false complaints to great degree in recent years, you are going to have to prove your case with documentation and proper records to any attorney who sees you. Nonetheless, if you have a legitimate complaint, you should be able to file and receive proper compensation in return.

At numeral points during our lives, we all seek for medical care, whether from a consultant, a dentist, or some other healthcare expert. On everyday basis, individuals experience injuries, and from time to time, expire for the reason that the medical treatment that they expected was not as beneficial, as it could, or should have been.
In general, healthcare mistakes outcome in minute or no impairment to the patient, and often, the patient is not even cognisant that a blunder has been made. Nonetheless, there are also incidences where something has gone erroneous, and as a result, the patient suffers a severe injury.
Lawyer Malpractice

There can be various forms and types of medical malpractice claims, as the field of medical itself has a variety of dimensions. Some of the common medical malpractice claims are as follows. When an infant is born, it is a very subtle situation, and medical misconduct can arise because of any blunders made in the delivery or care of the infant.

Clinical negligence Clinical Negligence experts providing legal help and advice to people who have suffered as a result of medical or clinical negligence.
The description for medical malpractice means a healthcare provider regressed from the primary practice of caring or diagnosing. Physicians and other medical related providers are required to operate in accordance with laws and provide a reasonably amount of care to comply with medical and legal standards. If you feel this has not been done in your situation or in someone that you know contact a San Antonio medical malpracticelawyer for consultation.

Understanding Medical Malpractice and Hiring Legal Aid to Help
Medical malpractice includes birthing issues, injuries of the brain, and negligent errors during surgery. Other areas include incorrect diagnosis of a disease that resulted in further complications or death. A late diagnosis that prevented early treatment is covered. If your healthcare provider prescribed the wrong medication that resulted in harm to your body, this is considered malpractice.
There are guidelines in San Antonio in which a statue of limitation is set. It is necessary for your claim to be established within 2 years of the occurrence. If the timeframe expires, your possibility of a settlement will diminish.
Most attorneys, after obtaining information will take your case on a contingency basis. What this means is you do not have to pay anything until you have successfully one your case and settlement. If you have further questions, contact a San Antonio medical malpracticelawyer who can assist you.

Before any good New York medical malpracticelawyer gives an answer, he'll need to know many things. Let's start off with "Special Damages" or what you would call "Out of Pocket Damages" or economic damages.
Medical Malpractice - What's My Case Worth?
SPECIAL DAMAGES:
Your lawyer will ask about your bills from doctors, ambulances, hospital admissions, private nurses, medications, medical supplies, travel and lodging arising from the need for additional medical treatment, wheelchairs, walkers, prostheses, handicapped-accessible van, and future medical expenses for ongoing medical problems.
Other damages your lawyer looks at include the cost to pay for household help, lost wages, lost work benefits, future losses, loss of earning capacity, increased cost of living, special training or occupational therapy you may need because of your injuries, and property damage, if any.
PAIN & SUFFERING:
Here is a term that's often heard, and often mis-understood. This is an intangible item of damages that has no set amount. It's different for every person, and for every case. Nevertheless, a jury will be permitted to make an award for your 'pain' and the suffering it caused from the time of the medical malpractice until the time of the verdict. The jury will also make an award for future pain and the suffering you are likely to endure for the remainder of your life. Your lawyer will either ask the Judge to take notice of your expected life expectancy, or have a medical expert talk about your life expectancy. This way, the jury will be able to make an award for future damages for the duration of your expected lifetime.
Contained within this award for past and future pain and suffering is something called "Loss of enjoyment of life." This means that you have been deprived from your everyday life and are therefore permitted to be compensated for it. New York law does not allow a separate award for this aspect of your claim. It's included within any pain and suffering award that is made for you.
If you are married, your spouse is entitled to an award (called loss of consortium, or loss of services) for all the effort he or she has made to care for you as a result of your significant injuries.
Importantly, your lawyer will want to know which of your injuries are visible, and which are not able to be seen? He will want to know how you felt immediately after the event and how you have felt since the malpractice until today. He will want to know what medical and psychological treatment you have received for your pain, suffering and disabilities arising from the malpractice. He will also want to know what your treating doctors have said about your prognosis (your future medical condition). Will you get better? Will you get worse over time? What treatment is available to you to correct your problem?
A good lawyer asks whether you have feelings of sorrow, anxiety, humiliation, anger, frustration, and even fear when thinking about your injuries. Just as important, your lawyer will need to know how your injuries have affected you in your daily life. Are you able to participate in sports, gardening, housework, woodworking, playing musical instruments, playing with your kids, cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, ironing, washing the car, yard work and similar daily activities that you previously did without worry.
Have you had to abandon your social life and vacations? Have your club activities or charitable and social activities changed? Are you still able to dance, go to cultural events like shows or plays or even go to museums? Can you still babysit and help your friends in need? Can you go to church, temple or other religious activities?
It is only after you have discussed these items with your lawyer, in depth and in detail that your lawyer should be able to tell you what your medical malpractice case is worth- at least in general terms. Be wary of the lawyer who guarantees that your case is worth "X" dollars, since it's impossible to ever guarantee an outcome, regardless of the true value of your case.
In my opinion, being informed about your legal options is the best thing you can do to help yourself understand your case. A good lawyer is your guide to understanding your options. Only then can you make informed choices about your injuries and the value of your case.
