Looking for an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice cases involving drug companies? I was born in 1958 and exposed to a drug which originally marketed under the the name Thalidamide,but was administered in this country as Kevadon.It caused me to be born with a birth defect to my hands.I was told that there is a law firm that has a list of the doctors who prescibed the medication to women who were experiencing morning sickness while pregnant.Unfortunately for me the hospital I was born in (Provident-Baltimore City)destroyed all records.Although I'm now 49 yrs old I'm still experiencing problems.There also seems to be the matter of the statue of limitations.But I wouldn't have known about the drug Kevadon if it were not for my research into the drug Thalimide which was not suppose to be marketed in this country.I have no medical insurance to help me seek the medical attention I need with the current problems I'm having with my right hand.Do I have any way to compensated?Please if there's anyone who can help me let me know.

Medical Malpractice Arbitration Plaintiff Consolidation? Myself and 2 sisters have filed a demand for arbitration and listed each of us as plaintiffs. The malpractice concerns the death of our Mom. The large HMO hospital in Southern California has a large law firm representing their interests as respondents. The law firm sent each of us 5 documents with questions and production of documents (5 docs times 3 sisters = 15 replies). I want to know if there is a motion or procedure I could use to consolidate our Arbitration so that the 3 of us will be considered 1 plaintiff. The law firm has requested copies of all documents, records, notes, etc... to each of us individually, but there is no way that we should be required to copy and submit 3 copies of the same information regarding the treatment of our Mom. How can I get the Respondent and/or arbitrator to group the 3 of us as 1 plaintiff?

What is a fair amount to ask for ??? My daughter works for a law firm in the dallas metroplex. She is currently a legal secretary. She works in a firm with apx. 10-20 attorneys and 15 legal staff. They do school law,litigation and school tax, they also have a bankruptcy department handled by one person. They recently lost that person and offered her the position. She has heard it is a lot of work and a lot to handle. she has no bankruptcy experience but has been in the legal field 10 years. Family law, civil litigation, medical malpractice, tax and realestate. They asked her to tell them what she believes a reasonable or fair raise would be for her new position. she currenly makes about $19 hour and would like to stay hourly with this firm because they work a lot of over time. What can I suggest would be fair or how she can handle the situation? Concerned Dad

Can you give me some career ideas? I have hit a wall in my job search and I would love your help! I was a journalism/advertising major in undergradute. I went to a good state school in the Midwest and graduated in the top 1/3rd. I learned a great deal about writing, branding, marketing, sales and design (among other things). However, I decided I wanted to go to law school. I went to another good school in the midwest and finished in the middle of my class. I then moved to California and took the bar and passed on the first try. My legal experiences include: clerking for a year for a state civil law judge, interning for a British criminal law barrister, clerking for a medical malpractice defense firm, and working as a legal contract temp attorney on class action and patent cases. My other talents include photography, writing, and doing just about anything on a computer. So my question is, what advice do you have for potential careers, both traditional and non-traditional? All suggestions are welcome

Lawyer referral help please!? A friend of mine needs a really first rate law firm in the Tuscon area that specializes in medical malpractice.

That was not a helpful answer. I am trying to help a friend who is a young woman with 2 kids and 2 sick parents - one almost died. She is going there tomorrow to try to help one of her parents. Please only SERIOUS ANSWERS!
