                  [00:00:02.520] 
I have a lot of experience with medical malpractice cases.
[00:00:08.320] 
There are a wide range of negligence that result in injuries to clients.
[00:00:15.000] 
One of those areas is the failure to diagnose infections.
[00:00:20.320] 
This is a very serious problem
[00:00:22.320] 
and can result in extremely serious injuries to a person,
[00:00:26.960] 
including going into what's called septic shock.
[00:00:30.360] 
This is an injury that can lead to death and does lead to death
[00:00:34.080] 
if it's not properly treated timely.
[00:00:37.480] 
I also have experience in surgical areas where doctors,
[00:00:42.120] 
there's a consent to do surgery on one part of the body,
[00:00:45.080] 
and the doctor negligently cuts an adjoining bone
[00:00:50.960] 
and these injuries also can be really devastating to people.
[00:00:56.400] 
If the doctors ignore their duty in this regard,
[00:01:00.040] 
the injuries are devastating
[00:01:01.320] 
and people are left with permanent disabilities, unfortunately.
[00:01:04.800] 
Another area of medical malpractice cases that I'm involved with
[00:01:09.440] 
is psychiatrists dispensing controlled substances.
[00:01:14.800] 
Unfortunately, doctors will use those prescription pads,
[00:01:18.360] 
they'll make the pharmaceutical companies happy
[00:01:21.000] 
and their patients often suffer tremendously.
[00:01:25.200] 
It's vitally important to have a lawyer on your side.
[00:01:28.960] 
You must call a lawyer.
[00:01:30.880] 
Very rarely do doctors or really anyone in our society
[00:01:35.440] 
take responsibility for their conduct.
[00:01:38.560] 
It's not the way our society is set up.
[00:01:41.320] 
So it's really important you get a lawyer.
[00:01:43.360] 
We'll preserve evidence.
[00:01:45.520] 
We'll put the other parties on notice that they have to preserve the evidence.
[00:01:50.680] 
There can be sanctions for spoilation if they don't do that.
[00:01:56.680] 
So it's really important to get the lawyer involved and press your case.
[00:02:01.240] 
People can expect, if I'm their lawyer,
[00:02:04.160] 
for me always to be getting back to them promptly, explaining to them
[00:02:08.440] 
what decisions have to be made, giving them counsel as to the decisions
[00:02:12.640] 
and letting them decide,
[00:02:14.080] 
especially when it comes time to resolve the case,
[00:02:16.960] 
giving an opinion on what the value of the case is,
[00:02:20.480] 
letting them know the upside, the downside and giving them counsel
[00:02:23.680] 
as to the resolution, also preparing them
[00:02:26.600] 
for all the court appearances and depositions
[00:02:29.160] 
so they know fully what to expect.
