Can litigation occur in probate or trust administration?

There are a lot of problems that arise that generate litigation during probate or trust administration. A lot of those problems are because of the drafting errors that were made in the initial estate plan. That's why it's so important that the estate plan be prepared by a competent attorney. Other problems arise because of the fact that there are disagreements amongst the children as to what the parent's intentions are. And even if the intentions are clearly stated, children feel slighted, or heirs from a prior marriage contest and dispute with the second wife. And there is lots of different problems involved with blended families. I'm Jeff Matsen, and I'm the founding and managing partner of Wealth Strategies Counsel. We help people preserve, protect, and transfer their legacy to the next generation in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.

What's the right type of business formation for me?

Choosing a business entity is so important when starting a business because it impacts dramatically on both the legal protection that the business entity affords and also on your tax consequences. So you have to have a competent attorney to assist you in making these decisions. Because if you don’t, then you’re going to pay more taxes then you should and you’re not going to have the protection that you need in order to properly operate the business.

When should I consult an attorney if I suspect malpractice?

If someone suspects that there is a medical malpractice case, it's important that they contact an attorney promptly. The reason for that are multifold. One is a statute of limitations, a time limit in which a lawsuit has to be brought. And some of those time limits are very short. If municipalities are involved it's as short as three months within a claim has to be filed. It's also important to get involved early to obtain the medical records before they are potentially changed or altered. So the earlier the better is the general rule.

Can I sue in New York if my cancer diagnosis was delayed?

A delay in diagnosis in cancer is often the basis of a cancer medical malpractice lawsuit but there are two very significant elements to a medical malpractice case. One is that the doctor missed the boat, so to speak. The other element is that it made a difference, that it had an impact on the patient's course. So if a patient goes to Doctor A on one day and he doesn't pick up the cancer but goes to another doctor the next day and it's very obvious, there's really no damage that results from it. And it's the damage that's the controlling factor. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the upper east side of Manhattan.

What is an auto defect lawsuit?

With regard to the difference between an auto accident case and an auto defect case, its very important to have an experienced lawyer that does auto defect cases to figure out the difference. If you're in an auto accident case, you typically are only going to be able to recover whatever the applicable insurance policy limits are on the person that caused the accident. That could be as low as $15,000. However, if an experienced lawyer is looking at the case they may note that a defect in the vehicle actually caused the injury and then you should have an auto products liability case and recover the full amount of damages you're entitled to.

Why do auto defects still happen in cars today?

The reason auto defects still happen is corporations that manufacture automobiles continuosly put profit over safety. Its been a constant theme for decades. Even with all the advancements that we see, the technological advancements with regard to manufacturing, manufacturers make profits on cars when they are using a 20 or 30 year old platform. Even though you have a new body on the car, and it looks like you have a new car, often times behind the skin of that vehicle you're driving a 30 year old car. Hi my name's Brian Chase.

How much does a medical malpractice lawsuit cost in NY?

The cost in a medical malpractice lawsuit is incurred by the attorneys. The attorneys in New York will pay the disbursements that are associated with prosecuting the case. If there's no recovery, the attorneys are allowed to absorb those expenses and not pass them on to a client. If there is a recovery, then those out-of-pocket disbursements are paid back to the lawyer. The range of disbursements in a malpractice case can be as low as five or six thousand dollars, and it can go above a hundred thousand dollars, if there's a lawsuit involved and a trial involved.

Why do surgical mistakes still occur in New York?

Surgical mistakes in New York often are a function of something going awry during the course of the surgery. It may be the lack of skill of the doctor; usually that’s not the case. It’s just as any of us can have an accident, make a mistake, it happens. These things happen sometimes. And there are such gross mistakes where the surgery is performed in the wrong location. But for the most part, it’s a function of life that these mistakes happen. And when people are seriously injured by that, the New York courts are designed to address those injuries.

Is there a statute of limitations on cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits?

The statute of limitations in New York for all medical malpractice lawsuits -- with some exception that we won't go into -- is 2-1/2 years. But in cancer cases it's tricky because if somebody had a mammogram, for example, two years ago and didn't know that there was a lesion on there -- that there was cancer on there that wasn't picked up -- and then they find out about it just close to that statute of limitations, they have to put that in suit right away. New York does not have a discovery rule that from the time of discovery the statute runs. It runs from the last treatment by the doctor, and one has to be specially careful in cancer cases.

What medical errors can lead to lung cancer?

Often lung cancer is not symptomatic. That is, the patient doesn't show any signs or symptoms, often until it is too late. The chronic cough, the coughing of blood, and other symptoms. But screening x-rays often are and should be done. It's a standard of care in some instances, typically depending on the age of the person, the history of the person, the smoking history of the person, the family history of the person. And if the clinician, the doctor, doesn't do those screening x-rays, or if they're done, and the x-ray is overlooked, and there is a lesion there, then that will be the basis for a lawsuit. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the upper east side of Manhattan. We welcome your call.

What medical errors can lead to prostate cancer?

Prostate Cancer is a peculiar type of cancer, in that there are standard tests that are done. Screening tests to see whether there is an additional cancer. The PSA test, is the usual test there's a Pre-PSA test also done and there's a whole level of 4.0's the cut off point when caution needs to be exerted by the physician. And I've seen cases where the prostate has gone, the PSA has gone as high as 18 and the doctors for some reason just over look it and they don't see it. The report gets in the doctor's file. The patient is never contacted, and then when symptoms really start developing, it's too late. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

What is anesthesia negligence?

When somebody undergoes surgery, as we know in many instances, their whole breathing system is put in the hands of an anesthesiologist who has to monitor it very carefully. If that isn't done, if the patient starts exhibiting signs of failure of blood pressure, failure of systems, they can be brought back very promptly but if the anesthesiologist is not paying attention, is not alert enough, that can be devastating. I have a case right now involving an airway that wasn't properly managed during the course of anesthesia. It was twisted, the patient lost oxygen and suffered severe brain damage and ultimately death. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

Who do I sue after anesthesia negligence?

Often when there’s anesthesia malpractice in New York, the anesthesiologist is the prime party that is sued. And in order to determine exactly who the anesthesiologist and/or the assistant, the medical records have to be obtained and reviewed and the persons identified. Often the hospital as well will be a party to that lawsuit. And sometimes the surgeon too, depending upon the circumstances. There are people in that operating room, and if one isn’t paying attention, others should be paying attention. So that responsibility is sometimes a shared responsibility by all the healthcare providers in that operative suite. I’m Steven North, I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the upper east side of Manhattan. We welcome your call.

How can US lattorneys take on large overseas corporations in the flat-panel price fixing scheme?

The question arises once again of how can United States attorneys be involved in litigation like this which is focused on the manufacturers of flat panel screens, all of which are basically in the Asian countries. All nine of them. And the way it works is that lawyers band together in which they can focus on the harm that is created, asking the judge to certify this class to stop the injustice of their fixing prices. And we have evidence that they've had some 50 some meetings; every single one of these manufacturers was involved in these meetings, in which the only purpose of the meetings was fixing prices to sell the product to the United States consumers. My name is Tom Girardi. I'm the senior partner of Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have helped people in California who've been seriously harmed.

What are some common auto defects?

The most common types of auto defects that you see on the highways are rollover cases. There's a lot of SUVs on the highways today, SUVs roll over easier than passenger cars although they don't necessarily have to, but you're going to see a lot of rollover cases. You're going to see a lot of tire tread seperation cases, where the tread comes off the tire, then causing a rollover accident. You'll see airbag cases, where airbags failed to deploy or deploy untimely, just because it deployes, it's got to deploy just right or you can be injured from your airbag. There are defective seatbelt buckles on the highway, you could feel like you or your family member is safely buckled up, get in a rollover accident, get ejected from the vehicle and seriously injured or killed. People will assume you were not wearing your seatbelt, but you were. Seatbelt buckles are known to come undone at times as well. Hi, my name's Brian Chase.

Is a rollover accident caused by an auto defect?

Things to look for if you're involved in a rollover accident in California are not just the fact that you were in a rollover. Look for things such as roof crash. In other words, did the roof on the vehicle push in. Oftentimes, that can cause fatal to catastrophic injury to a person's head or neck. So look at the roof. See if the roof is deformed down towards the dashboard. Also, if your loved one was ejected from the vehicle, people are going to assume they weren't wearing their seatbelt. If you know they were a habitual seatbelt user, then they probably did have their seatbelt on, and they've got a seatbelt that's defective, and unlatched during the crash. You need an experienced attorney to know what to look for in the vehicle to prove or disprove seatbelt usage. Hi, my name's Brian Chase. I'm a partner at Bisnar Chase in Newport Beach, California.

What is your experience as a foreclosure defense attorney?

My name is Carl Pierson, and I am a Attorney in New York State. I am admitted to the Federal and State Courts in New York State, and I have various admissions elsewhere throughout the country. I'm a graduate of Harvard Law School, I graduated as the Magna Com Laudi at Long Island University, and I was the Student Council President there. My efforts for many years have been in law. I have more than forty years of litigation experience across the board in a variety of different types of matters. And I'm bringing all of that to bear on this new phenomenon, the crisis that we have in America of foreclosures. I'm trying to deal with them in the best way for the benefit of the people that are losing their homes. Because they don't have to lose their homes, there are protections. For example, New York State is not by accident the state which has the longest period of time for a foreclosure to take place. It was done deliberately in order to prevent people from being thrust out of their homes merely because the bankers are tired of having them live in their homes. So we set up obstacles, and that creates a 14 month period, roughly, for a person to be still in his home even when though he can't pay the mortgage. We've done that deliberately. In California, however, there is a non-judicial foreclosure. And they don't even go into court. When you lose your home in California, the bank puts a sign on your front lawn, they have a bus that takes people by your property, and then they sell your property. And that's a non-judicial foreclosure in Arizona, New Hampshire, California and other states. So New York is the longest state, and the best protected, the state that has the best protection for it's residents. I'm Carl Pierson, a New York lawyer, and a fighter, to keep people in their homes.
