Most doctors face lawsuits against them in medical career

Posted on Wednesday, August 24th, 2011 at 8:13 am    

A new study recently published has stated that almost all doctors will face a lawsuit sometime during thier careers.

The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine and stated that 99 percent ofdoctors in more dangerous fields and 75 percent in less dangerous fields are sued during their recovery.

This leads doctors to order more costly tests in order to make sure that they gave the correct diagnosis. Nearly 1 in 5 ;awsuits receive money in the settlement.

Wisconsin to pass new law that makes medical records private

Posted on Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 at 7:39 am    

Whenever there is an error in an hospital, a report is filed by the nurses and doctors involved detailing the incident in order for the hospital to know exactly what happened so they can put the appropriate safe measures in place so that it does not happen again.

A new bill that has been proposed in Wisconsin states that these medical records may now be kept private and not be subject to be supoenaed in court to be used in lawsuits.

Hospitals think that this may be a way to keep patients safe, but lawyers who have represented victims of medical malpractice in court think that this will make it much harder for them to prevail in court. Most lawyers use these reports in court in order to describe the initial incident in detail. 

If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, you need experienced representation on your side during this time. Contact the Rhinelander medical malpractice lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, by calling 800-242-2874 today.
