Ron, a 67 year old man purchased a Bostitch nail gun to build and install cabinets in his home. Shortly after using the nail gun for this project (he would often put his head inside the cabinets when he was constructing them) he permanently lost hearing in one ear. He has been to 2 ear specialists who confirmed that his hearing loss is due to using the nail gun without wearing ear protection. There is no warning about potential hearing loss and no suggestion about wearing ear protection on the product's box. In the manual there is some small print that says that ear protection should be worn when using the product-client never saw this warning before the injury occurred. What do you think? Should Ron be able to recovery damages against Bostitch for failure to warn? Unbelievable, sounds like folks should steer clear of Sutter Memorial Hospital, it would seem like you do it their way, or their way. Montgomery County
a causal connection between the defendant's careless conduct and the damage; According to the American Pregnancy Association, breech presentations occur in 1 out of every 25 births. After the release of the well-publicized "Term Breech Trial" study in October, 2000 in The Lancet, (Volume 356, Issue 9239) that reported that a cesarean section delivery was safer than a breech delivery, many hospitals across the globe stopped offering the breech delivery as an option. Health care providers feared complications from the procedure and potential medical malpractice claims. Vaginal deliveries from breech presentations were essentially abandoned by most physicians because it required a higher level of experience, training and special technique. 10.

We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it excluded the answer and motion for partial summary judgment. Similar to the answer and motion, the Mayor's letter and LFUCG's Civil Service complaint each indicated that Clark had engaged in disparate and unequal treatment of BMC employees. Thus, the contents of all of these documents were very consistent; and, thus, the exclusion of the answer and motion for partial summary judgment due to its cumulative nature was not an abuse of discretion. In waiving governmental immunity, the Legislature correspondingly sought to discourage or prevent recovery against an employee. As already discussed, the original enactment of the Act in 1969 contained a provision substantively identical to section 101.106 before its revision in 2003. That provision was strikingly similar to language in the 1949 Federal Tort Claims Act. 80 The federal provision was amended in 1961 to make the FTCA the exclusive remedy for motor vehicle accidents involving federal employees acting within the scope of their employment, 81 but through the years, judicial application of official immunity was not entirely uniform. 82 In 1988, the United States Supreme Court held in Westfall v. Erwin that for a federal employee to be immune from suit on a common law tort, he must show not only that he was acting within the scope of employment but also that he was performing a discretionary function. 83 Congress viewed the second requirement as exposing employees to unwarranted liability 84 and quickly passed the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act, commonly known as the Westfall Act, which provided immunity to all employees acting within the scope of employment, 85 �returning them to the status they held prior to the Westfall decision.' 86 The Westfall Act made whatever remedy the FTCA provided against the United States a claimant's exclusive remedy for a government employee's conduct in the scope of employment.

No. Although personal injury attorneys rarely charge for an initial meeting with a potential client, before your meeting you should ask if there is a fee for an initial consultation. If there is, you will be obligated to pay that fee even if you do not hire the attorney. However, even when the consultation is free, you have every right to take some time to think before you hire a lawyer, and you have every right to decide not to hire the lawyer. Hiring a personal injury lawyer is a big step, and there is nothing wrong with consulting several lawyers to find one who makes you comfortable.

My wife and I needed our wisdom teeth taken out so we went to an oral surgeon for a consultation. We were examined and the oral surgeon's office called Aetna (our dental insurance provider) on our behalf to find out what kind of coverage we had. The girl at the oral surgeon's office followed a detailed tooth-by-tooth form and the rep from Aetna provided detailed information on how much of each part of the procedure would be covered. The difference was around $600 which we gladly decided to pay and go forward with the procedure. On August 13, 2003, the patient had a CXR that revealed a patchy density in the left upper lung region that suggested the presence of either an inflammatory process or a cancer (or both). The radiologist indicated that this CXR was, abnormal, needs attention. On October 23, 2003, the patient had a chest CT scan that was interpreted as showing a lung lesion consistent with malignancy. On November 25, 2003, he was seen by a pulmonologist who scheduled a chest CT scan with biopsy for December 24, 2003. However, on December 13, 2003, before that biopsy was performed, the patient presented to the medical center's emergency room with a fever, and was admitted to the medical center whereupon a new CXR showed that the lung mass had increased to five times its previous size. On December 17, 2003, he had a chest CT with biopsy that was positive for non-small cell lung cancer. The total elapsed time from the initial suspicious CXR to a definitive diagnosis of non-small cell lung The appellant has served a Notice of a Constitutional Matter and the Commonwealth and the State of South Australia will be intervening. Nanomedicine is the application of nanobiotechnologies to medicine. This article starts with the basics of nanobiotechnology, followed by its applications in molecular diagnostics, nanodiagnostics, and improvements in the discovery, design and delivery of drugs, including nanopharmaceuticals. It will improve biological therapies such as vaccination, cell therapy and gene therapy. Nanobiotechnology forms the basis of many new devices being developed for medicine and surgery such as nanorobots. It has applications in practically every branch of medicine and examples are presented of those concerning cancer (nanooncology), neurological disorders (nanoneurology), cardiovascular disorders (nanocardiology), diseases of bones and joints (nanoorthopedics), diseases of the eye (nanoophthalmology), and infectious diseases. Safety issues of in vivo use of nanomaterials are also discussed. Nanobiotechnology will facilitate the integration of diagnostics with therapeutics and facilitate the development of personalized medicine, i.e. prescription of specific therapeutics best suited for an individual. Many of the developments have already started and within a decade a definite impact will be felt in the practice of medicine. PMID:18287791
One court in Texas indicated that the insurance agent has a duty to acquaint himself with his client's business so the insurance will cover all risks associated with the business.1 Another court in Texas held: When the agent of an applicant agrees to apply for insurance on behalf of the principal, the agent has the duty to either explain the terms of the application form, or otherwise inform the principal what coverages are included in the application.2 However, it is also clear in Texas that the insured has the duty to read his policy and it will be presumed he did so.3 And the Texas Supreme Court has indicated that the duties of the agent to become familiar with his client's business and to make sure that the proper coverage is placed and explained, may depend upon whether the policyholder and the agent has a longstanding relationship.4 However, even if a policyholder had a duty to read his policy, the insurance agent has a duty to procure the insurance requested by his client.5 If a policyholder asks for all risk insurance on his business, then the duty of that agent to procure must mean he has to procure insurance that will actually insure the property. Procuring insurance that contains an exclusion that excludes all insurance due the nature of the policyholders business is not procuring insurance at all. Worse, the agent is receiving commission on premiums every year on a worthless policy. The motion of respondent for appointment of counsel is granted. David W. Fermino, Esquire, of San Francisco, California, is appointed to serve as counsel for the respondent in this case.

Manufacturers and others who are associated with the design, manufacture and sale of items are responsible for making sure that people who are purchasing the items know what safety hazards exist with the products. When proper notifications or warnings aren't made on the product, packing or informational insert, consumers who use the product might be harmed. When a consumer is injured, they might opt to seek compensation based on a defect in warnings. Sometimes, due to the working practices in prisons, there are delays in prisoners receiving medical attention. If this has resulted in an avoidable worsening of a condition, then there may be a claim for clinical negligence against the prison.
Haas is correct. George did not move for summary judgment explicitly on her claims for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract. Rather, George moved for summary judgment on the "claims of legal malpractice." However, we find Haas' claims for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract are encompassed in the legal malpractice claim. Cuyler v. Minns, 60 S.W.3d 209, 216 (Tex. App.-Houston 14th Dist. 2001, pet. denied) (breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims represent impermissible fracturing of legal malpractice claim); Sledge v. Alsup, 759 S.W.2d 1, 2 (Tex. App.-El Paso 1988, no writ) ("If a lawyer's error or mistake is actionable, it should give rise to a cause of action for legal malpractice with one set of issues which inquire if the conduct or omission occurred, if that conduct or omission was malpractice and if so, subsequent issues on causation and damages."); see also Ross v. Arkwright Mut. Ins. Co., 892 S.W.2d 119, 133-34 (Tex. App.-Houston 14th Dist. 1994, no writ) (discussing state's public policy against splintering claims). In Cuyler, the court found the appellant's claims for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty arose from the same set of facts and circumstances as the alleged malpractice, and because summary judgment on the alleged malpractice was proper, summary judgment on those claims was proper. Cuyler, 60 S.W.3d at 216; see also Smith v. Heard, 980 S.W.2d 693, 697 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1998, pet. denied). This case is similar to Cuyler, in that the claims for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract arise out of the same set of facts as the claims for legal malpractice and George properly moved for summary judgment on these grounds. Part B medical insurance doesn't cover nursing home care, prescription drugs, most eyeglasses, dental care, hearing aids, or routine examinations. Paying the bill for Part B services Part B claims are processed by private insurance companies that administer Medicare claims. In general, Original Medicare Part B pays 80 percent of the reasonable charges for all covered services, and 50 percent of the reasonable charges for outpatient mental health care, after the patient has paid a deductible each year ($100 in 2002). People enrolled in Medicare Part B must pay monthly premiums. These premiums usually come out of the recipient's social security check. In 2002, the monthly premium is $54.00 a month. The premium amount is expected to increase in January 2003. Payments for Part B services can be made by two methods: assignment and direct payment.
