HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM

I am amazed at how the opponents of health care reform think it is more important to take away existing laws which hold doctors and hospitals responsible for their actions. Why is protecting a system which, by its own estimate kills 98,000 people a year, more important than making sure that all Americans who want…

IS CONGRESS GETTING READY TO MAKE VICTIMS OF MALPRACTICE PAY A SECOND TIME?

I am talking about insurance companies and the medical industrial complex (hospitals, doctors groups, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) spending the money to persuade Congress to severely limit the rights of victims of medical negligence. I can’t say it any better than my fellow trials lawyers have already stated: New AAJ Ad Campaign Tells Congress: “Put Patients…

END OF FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS 150 150 Lauren Ellerman

END OF FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS

Last night Virginia elected a new Governor. Bob McDonnell said during his acceptance speech he would put an end to frivolous litigation. Bob, an attorney, and our past Attorney General in Virginia, should know better. Fact: There’s an epidemic of medical negligence, not lawsuits. According to the AAJ, only one in eight people injured by…

Nice letter. Is it legal to do that in Virginia? Yes, probably. Is it ethical? I would say no. As an employee, do you have options? Yes, probably. Can our firm review a non-compete agreement with less than 1 day notice? Most days that we are not in Court, one of us is available to…

Kindred Healthcare posted higher-than-expected profits in the third quarter as increased private hospital admissions boosted income. Net income was $5.5 million. A year earlier the company lost $21.3 million, or 55 cents per share.…
