Why do I need a personal injury lawyer?

Many people wonder why they need a personal injury lawyer. The answer is simple. The legal system is not set up to provide justice for victims of negligence or injury. If you have been involved in an accident and are seeking justice, you need a personal injury lawyer. In many cases, people injured in a car accident or another type of accident do not receive compensation from the responsible party. This means that a victim cannot obtain the medical care he or she needs or that the other person responsible for causing the accident is not held accountable for his or her actions. If you have been injured in an accident, you need a personal injury lawyer to advocate for you. At the Law Offices of Judy Greenwood Plymouth Meeting, PA, our team of personal injury attorneys provides aggressive advocacy for accident victims. We believe that every accident victim deserves compensation for the injuries and damages that he or she has suffered. We understand the stress and fear of going into court and dealing with a large insurance company. That is why we take the time to explain your legal options and your rights so that you can make the best decision for your future.

What does a medical lawyer do?

Medical lawyers handle personal injury cases that involve medical malpractice and medical negligence. Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor commits an act that results in harm to a patient. Examples include when a doctor fails to diagnose a disease or injury, fails to properly treat a disease or injury, or treats a patient with unsafe drugs or equipment. Medical negligence involves the negligent performance of professional duty by a doctor. Examples include failing to diagnose a disease or injury, failing to provide appropriate treatment, or failing to properly treat a disease or injury.

Personal injury cases are different from medical malpractice cases because medical malpractice cases are brought against physicians, while personal injury cases are brought against manufacturers, other health care providers, or organizations that might have been responsible for causing the patient’s injury. Personal injury cases are also different from medical negligence cases because medical negligence cases are usually tried in court. The typical goal of a medical malpractice case is to hold the doctor liable for damages to the plaintiff.

Medical lawyers handle these types of cases in a variety of ways. One method of pursuing a medical malpractice case is through litigation. Litigation means a lawsuit is filed against the physician. Litigation can also mean a lawsuit is filed against the hospital, nursing home, pharmaceutical company, or other entity that was involved in the patient’s care.

Another method of pursuing a medical malpractice case is through arbitration. Arbitration means a settlement is made without going to court. A third method of pursuing a medical malpractice case is through mediation. Mediation means that the parties to the dispute work together to try to reach a mutually agreeable resolution. Mediation is not binding on the parties. It is only a tool that is used to help resolve disputes.

What is nursing home negligence?

Nursing home negligence is an area of law that is constantly evolving. The legal definition of nursing home negligence is “negligent conduct on the part of a facility or its employees which directly causes harm to a resident or patient.” The law requires that a facility must maintain a certain standard of care. The standard of care may include training and supervision of staff, equipment, supplies, physical environment, staffing ratios, and other factors that impact the safety of the residents and their health. The standard of care may be breached when the standard is not met.

Nursing homes are regulated by the federal government, state governments, and local jurisdictions. These regulatory bodies have the power to inspect facilities, set standards of care, and enforce compliance with those standards. Unfortunately, many nursing homes fall short of meeting the standard of care. Some nursing homes fail to provide sufficient oversight to prevent neglect. Others fail to train and supervise staff adequately. Many nursing homes fail to keep up with advances in healthcare. When these shortcomings occur, patients can suffer serious injuries and even death. The most serious injuries are due to falls, but a wide variety of injuries are possible. A nursing home injury lawyer can help you determine whether a nursing home breached its duty of care and what damages are owed.
