Why does medical malpractice occur?

Law Offices of James Sokolove, LLC

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.

Why does medical malpractice occur?

Steven E. North

Medical malpractice occurs because it simply is negligence or carelessness by somebody. Just as, why do automobile accidents happen? They'll always happen. They're not going to go away. Someday, someone will go through a stop sign. Someday, some doctor will go through a "surgical" stop sign or will fail to do something. It doesn't mean he's a good or bad doctor - it means it was a bad day, certainly a bad day for the patient. My name is Steve North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

Why does medical malpractice occur in NY hospitals?

Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, LLP

Medical malpractice occurs for various reasons. One of the most common reasons is that people are treated in hospitals by physicians who are early in their training, and are actually learning while they are treating the patients and learning on the patients. Experienced doctors, attending physicians, physicians with years of practice frequently aren't present when the most injured, most seriously ill people arrive at hospitals. So, when you are treated by a novice, they frequently miss the problem that you are there for. This gives rise to many malpractice suits. Hi, my name is Arthur Blitz of Shandell, Blitz, Blitz and Ashley. We have represented people who have suffered at the hands of physicians in medical malpractice. Let us help you.

Do I qualify to mount a mortgage foreclosure defense?

Carl E. Person

If a person is sued in a foreclosure action, they're invited by the summons that they receive to put in a defense. A defense will include various reasons why the bank should not win. Various things they've done wrong and the banks we now know have done many things wrong. Previously, like a year ago, the court probably wouldn't look at half of this. But now the courts are looking at it and we are aware that the banks do wrong in many cases. Some of these wrongs translate into defenses and a lawyer can help the person that sued to maintain those defenses. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

Why representing dog bite cases are personal for me.

The Roberts Law Firm

When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog and unfortunately my parents did not hire an attorney who specialized in dog bite cases. And they did not receive the recovery that I should have received for that case. It's one of the reasons that when I represent people that are in dog bite cases, particularly children, I fight to recover maximum recovery for them. For their injures, for their pain cause there is a great deal of pain associated with dog bites. And for scaring, particularly if it's going to be long term scaring.

Why is Southern California so hard hit by predatory lending?

Howard | Nassiri, LLP

California is a victim of this sub-prime crisis for a number of reasons. One, it's Southern California. A lot of people want to move here, buy homes here. [Ah] The homes that people buy here rise in value, or they did up until recently. ah and then what you have is a large number of California residents who were employed in the mortgage industry. California had upwards of 300,000 people employed in this industry. Lenders noticed that, and they wanted to take advantage of that. So they pushed their brokers, even lenders directly, pushed them into pushing people into sub-prime products, and that lead to the economic crisis that we're suffering now.
