Why does medical malpractice occur?

A medical malpractice generally occurs simply because a mistake is made. No one is perfect; no one is expected to do everything always absolutely right. Things do happen. When something goes wrong, it is not necessarily medical malpractice. But if something went wrong and it’s because the doctor deviated from what normally takes place that is called malpractice. I’m attorney Jim Sokolove. If you’ve been injured, call us.

What should I look for in a good medical malpractice attorney?

When one is looking for a medical malpractice attorney, they should look for an attorney whose had extensive experience in the field. How many cases have they tried? What has been their success rate? Do they have nurses on staff? Have they had extensive experience in their career? How many years have they been in practice? And what do others in the community think of them? I interview more than one law firm, and I find who I feel comfortable with. It shouldn't just be 'oh who can I go to? will they take my case?', it's 'who am I comfortable with as a consumer?'. As a consumer they should take the idea of hiring an attorney as something that they're empowered with, and they should choose who they feel is capable.

Why doesn't the FDA remove harmful drugs from the market?

On all these matters that we are talking about, whether we are talking about fen-phen or gadolinium or any of these pharmaceuticals that are having problems in the market, the difficulty is that the FDA has a tremendous amount of staff and goes through tremendous process to decide whether something should be allowed on the market. The difficulty is that once its on the market, the FDA does not have enough staff to monitor if there are events to see if these medications should be pulled off the market. The pharmaceuticals have such power with the FDA that the consumer does really not have a fair chance. Thus, the FDA is not a real watchdog we can rely on right now. I'm attorney Jim Sokolove.
