No, that is not possible. That would be illegal. Your attorney is hired to act in your best interest and that's why they are entrusted with money.
hen a person dies due to negligence or because of the action of another person, it is a wrongful death in the eyes of the law. Wrongful death lawsuits can encompass many different types of cases and deaths, and due to their nature, they can be quite complicated. If you have someone in your family who passed away and you are considering a wrongful death suit, then you will need the help of an attorney. The first step of a wrongful death suit is contacting the attorney. You always want to choose an attorney that has experience in the area and that will be able to provide you with the help that you need. Some attorneys handle all types of cases. You don’t want to hire that type. A jack of all trades is a master of none. Interview attorneys who focus only on injury cases. That type of attorney will be best able to represent you. In some cases, the attorney might be able to settle the case out of court. The attorney will contact the defendant or the defendant’s attorney, and they will try to work out a settlement agreement. In some cases, it will be possible to reach a settlement. In other cases, it will be impossible to reach a settlement, and your attorney will then file the lawsuit, during which time the defendant’s attorney will likely try to have the case dismissed. Once the process is underway, it still doesn’t mean that you will necessarily have to go to trial. The lawyers will argue that they should win the case without trial, or the judge might try to tell the lawyers to work out a settlement, and more. Of course, the cases do go to trial. Trials are taxing, but with the help of a highly qualified attorney, the process will much easier. The lawyer will be able to help you understand everything that’s going to happen in the case from the start to the finish. It will not be as frightening when you have your lawyer explain everything to you. You and your deceased family member deserve justice, and filing a wrongful death lawsuit is one way that you will be able to seek that justice.
The most important thing, if you have been involved in an accident, is for you to recover. Your attorney can’t start doing anything if you are not released from hospital or recovered from injuries. Next step is collecting medical bills, employment records and other necessary documents. After that you should get an offer from the insurance company involved, you should review it, and discuss with your lawyer. If your lawyer can't reach a fair settlement, the next step is lawsuit. Your lawyer should be every step by your side and should answer every question
Our indiscriminate overuse of antibiotic medicine has given rise to a super-bacteria known as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that has developed immunity to many antibiotic treatments. Now, doctors and healthcare providers must diagnose and treat infections that can turn deadly much faster than previously known bacterial infections. If MRSA is not accurately diagnosed or treated, it can quickly progress into a flesh-eating infection, osteomyelitis or toxic shock death. The following points represent a small sample of the ways that doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers can commit medical malpractice when faced with MRSA.
Some people call this an independent medical examination. However, it is anything but independent. Your legal opponent pays for it and chooses the doctor who conducts it. Your opponent will choose a doctor known by your opponent to give opinions favorable to your opponent. That is why I call this a compulsory medical examination and not an independent medical examination. The doctor conducting it is not independent – she is paid for and beholden to your opponent. If the defendant (usually an insurance company) will not pay you a fair settlement and forces you to file a lawsuit, the defendant has the right to force you to submit to an examination by a physician of its choosing. The doctor will submit his or her report to the insurance company and to us detailing the doctor’s opinions of your injuries. Not only can the insurance company compel you, or force you to do this, but the report and doctor’s testimony are admissible at trial. Therefore, we want you to be armed with as much information about this process as possible. Here are some suggestions and helpful hints (napisati artikal)
Personal injury claims are not just about seeking compensation for an injury. It has a much greater purpose, it's about justice for victims. Also, a personal injury claim ensures proper medical care, a lot of money from most settlements goes for medical expenses. Claim cant is successful without a serious injury and a liable party that’s negligence caused the injury. This means that claim stops repeated negligence because that kind of act will be held quilty. Insurance companies are paying out settlements. So filling a personal injury claim means holding insurance companies accountable.
In Florida, the only person who is authorized to bring a wrongful death lawsuit is the Personal Representative of the deceased person’s estate. If the deceased had a will, he or she will likely have nominated a personal representative. Look to the will to determine the deceased wishes. If the person dies without a will, any person over the age of 18 can act as Personal Representative. If a family member agrees to act in this capacity, then costs associated with hiring a professional can be avoided. Once a Personal Representative has been selected, contact an attorney who practices in the area of estates to set up an estate.
