Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers
Medical Attorneys Knowledge Base
Medical malpractice attorneys: Can a doctor put "Dictated but not read" on his reports? What would happen if a doctor put this disclaimer and then got sued for malpractice? By this statement I believe he means he takes no responsibility for any errors there may be--many are done overseas and are full of errors. Does this let him off the hook? Obviously it is not ethical because if the doctor doesn't take responsibility, who could, but what about the legal effect? Thanks for explaining any legal angles. I edit these things and just got curious. I also wonder what happens when a case goes to court and an insurance company is involved.

Help plz-ty. Questions about attorneys and medical situation.? My contingency lawyer pushed me to go to their referal doctor, I insisted I didn't want to get stuck with any bills, and he repeatedly told me not to worry. I don't have any insurance and they know that. I said but what will happen if we don't get a claim? he still kept trying to tell me I won't be responsible but then I think he slipped and said I might be. but again turned around and said that I won't. See, and I don't even have the option to go to a doctor of my choosing. Then I spoke with the people at the doctor's office and said the same to them, they said i'd be fine as long as the lawyer signs an LOP letter of protection. This lawyer is with a big supposedly reputable company. From the lawyer's office they spoke with the docs office and agreed to authorize me for an evaluation visit and take it from there. After I went, i was given another appont for 3 weeks later and told that i would get a call to confirm that appt b/c they needed signatures from my lawyer. When nobody called, days b4 the apt I called the doc office and inquired as to what's going on, they said they didn't see Additional Details 1 hour ago ...anything regarding from my lawyers signatures etc, and said that i still have a standing appt so i should just come in, and that if they needed to they will call to cancel. They should not have allowed me to come if they didn't have his signature,,,after i went to that appointment and was leaving, they told me the lawyer never signed the LOP, meanwhile before hand i had repeatedly told my lawyer he needs to sign still, and he said don't worry I'll have it taken care of you go ahead tand keep that appt, but he never had signed it. Now I got a bill in the mail for those 2 appointments, they also fabricated some additions in there. My family will call and speak with the billing services but what should I do to make them understand this should not have happened? btw-the case will not receive any claim because the negligent person refused to give over thier insurance. Thank you so much. 10 minutes ago Further more, I am now scared of receiving surprise bills from the attorney even though it's on contingency fee and he has not contacted me since May. Will they stick me with any bills even though we received nothing since we never had a chance to file a claim with the insurance and the attny only went as far as sending out a certified letter to the negligent person requesting their insurance information and being turned down? I don't know what to do? Am I suppose to do anything to free myself of my contract with him or just leave it be? I would desperately appreciate any answers.

What should a disabled veteran do for medical treatment? I cannot work due to service connected injuires for over a year now and also per a dr's advice that if I continue to work I will be paralysed. I have claims in with the VA which takes years and I have applied for SSI and SSDI. I have an attorney to work my case for SSA but the attorney states they need more medical evidence to win my case. The problem is the Veterans Administration is making me wait 3 or more months for medical appointments. My wife works and Social Services says she makes too much money at $2000.00 gross per month. So I cannot get medicaid. But if it takes months for appointments at the VA I will not have much medical evidence. My wife and I cannot afford her jobs medical insurance.

He has not recovered mentally or physically and owns nothing. He connot afford an attorney and they will not provide him with one. I have two other sons that are Marines and they have never heard of anything like this. Can they reverse the honorable discharge? We just do not understand why they would do this.

He was questioned initially, prior to discharge and signed away his right to an attorney eight weeks after severe head trauma. Is there anyone that can help us? Navy Sailor, Thank you for your response. I fully understand that my son actions deserve punishment. The good thing is he knows also and expected to punished and or discharged but to be discharged and a year later have this issue come up. He never received counsel or rehab, those are the benefits our kids deserve when they sign up and put their lives on the line. I have two sons in Iraq and we are a very pro military. I am not a blind mother just think it should have been delt with prior to discharge.

Car Insurance company is sending check attorney states Medical lien is larger then payout, what are my options 7 months ago my wife was in a near fatal car accident. She is healing, but will have pretty serious complications for the rest of her life. This was a one car crash, my wife was cut off by what the insurance company has titled a "phantom" driver. There is no one to go after except our own insurance. Our attorney called us with good news, the insurance company is paying out the max on the claim $300.000. But here is where the problem starts, so far the medical insurance company has paid out $269.000 and has a "lien" for that previous unsure what this means at this point. the laywer gets his 33% which is 100.000 which leaves us with $200.000 to pay towards the lien. further more there is an additional $30.000 in misc. medical bills that are in my wife's name due to co pay's uncovered items etc. Is any of the money awarded to my wife considered pain and suffering or loss of income. I would hate to think that the only person making money is the attorney, thank you, EFFland based on your question here is some more info, We hired an attorney because from the start the insurance company was given us problems, There was no contact with phantom vehicles, there where other people in my wife's car that witnessed the accident and phantom car.

State is Florida and you are correct in the Unisured Motorist part of the claim I thank you for thinking of my wife, and appreciate the support. It has been quite the Nightmare.

Am I correct in stating that according to normal procedures getting any money out of UM without another party sustaining damage is a "good" job by the attorney? Are there any Florida Adjuster or insiders that could give me state specific info, I appreciate everyones feedback
Medical Power of Attorney document.? What are the legal consequences of disobeying the requests of the person named as another person's Medical Power of Attorney, especially when the requests were in the patient's best interest? A nurse continued to administer medication after repeated requests by the patient's POA, to discontinue a drug that was causing the patient pain and suffering. A medication that was unnecessary for the patient's survival, and was ultimately causing the patient to be combative and irrational. The prescribing Dr was shocked, asking if the nurse had lost her mind. The Dr is obligated to get written permission from the POA before prescribing ANY medication for the patient, and cannot over ride the POA's decision to discontinue any and all meds at any time. No. This is NOT an end of life issue. It is Saturday night. Our attorney is unavailable until Monday. This will aggravate me till I can contact him or get some idea what our next step will be Thank you Thank you for your answers. A few more details: The patient is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's, and is far beyond competent. She reacts badly to antipsychotics (makes her more psychotic and hard to handle). The prescribing Dr and our attorney said her son (holder of the POA) has the final word in everything and is above question from anyone. They both said the nurse has lost her mind. The owner of the care facility is very nervous. We aren't the only family with issues because of her God complex. If "mother" behaves badly enough, she will have to be moved to another facility. Hence the overdosing with meds to make her behave badly. This "professional" is a menace.

Does anyone have advice regarding medical insurer denying claims? Yes, I'm aware that this is R&S, but I am more familiar with people here. This is for my 11-year-old son. We were denied a claim on Friday. They won't cover prescription medication that we cannot afford ($1,800/month). The pharmaceutical company that is filling the prescription has offered to do the appeal for us. Since they have a medical team and attorneys, we're going to let them fight the battle. My question is --- is this a wise course? Should we try to take this on ourselves? If you have any experience or advice, we'd appreciate it. Thank you all for your words. And Walkin Dude, if you talk to your attorney friend, I'd love to hear his opinion.

I need help forming my husbands medical directive. Help? Okay, my husband is having SERIOUS surgery only a few weeks away. We have done the whole will, power of attorney and medical directive thing. BUT, his family (Father's side) is a bit...well, I don't think they trust me. We've been together over four years now and this possibility never occurred to me. As his wife he has given me the authority to act on his behalf and I've given him the same authority in regards to myself. His family is used to running the show, specifically his grandmother & father. I feel fairly certain that his father and I have reached an understand. As for his grandmother, she and I are anywhere close to agreement. She told me I had better to do all there was to do or "There'd be hell to pay". I know enough to know that she'd try to sue me, ruin me and make my life hell as if losing my husband wouldn't make it that way anyway. So I need to know all the specific wording he should leave so that they can't say I acted on any other authority except for his.

I signed a contract with my attorney and he told me to not worry about or pay my medical bills from my car wreck since I was rear ended at a stop light and it is in no way my fault. However, it has been 5 months since my car accident and my case is not settled yet, so my bills aren't paid and are now being sent to collection agencies. I dont want this to go on my credit, and I dont want people calling me 24/7 telling me I need to pay these bills. Is my attorney responsible for this? Is this a breach of contract on his part? I'm having problems with him anyways, so if I could fire him, and he not be entitle to his percentage of my settlement, I would be very happy! ok...so i just called my attorney's office and was told to have the collection agencies and bill collectors call his office and ask for a letter promising payment....I don't feel like I should have to do this. I hired him to take care of this ordeal for me, and he is getting his percentage off my settlement. well newjersey you got 6,000 dollars layin around i could use to pay off my bills? i dont have the money . and i just dont see why this should affect my credit
in ga. how long can you be held for back medical bills and attorney fees. we were never even notified of these until court. she refuses to show us copies or even notify us when she takes them. if they are on ga peach care, shouldnt all bill be covered. we were told to reimburse her. if not can he get ssn to put on peach care and they will be covered to avoid this in the future. also, he has been told hes not listed on birth certificates. why should he be paying child support and med bills if not listed?
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.
