I am wondering he is sucking her into being responsible for whatever may be left to owe. They are not married just living in my house. Help if you know???

They just want money. It doesn’t matter who pays.

I think she has a legal right to refuse paying it.

In my opinion, the only time malpractice suits should be for anything more than actual damages is when they stem from gross negligence or incompetence. A doctor sews a surgical instrument up in a patient, his a** is twisting in the wind.

Medicine is not a perfect science. Patients respond differently to the same treatments; doctors don’t always have all of the relevant information; decisions sometimes have to be made quickly without the aid of all possible diagnostic tests. Plus it is often difficult or impossible to know who will have what side effects.

absolutely.

When they are asking me to negotiate for a certain amount for a out of court settlement what is the practical way to go through the process. What are the chances that I would be getting more or less than the settlement amount in court in pennsylvania? Also am I limited to the amount of the physician’s malpractice insurance?

This is a question to discuss with your lawyer. What does he/she say?

A lot has to do with the quality of the case. How much are they offering you and what might you get in a trial?

Remember you could lose in court.

i don’t know where to start if anyone knows a good one uget 10

"33702" is not an area code. Area codes only have 3 digits.

i know what kind there are but, i don’t know how much they get paid and what exactly do they do?!

here are all the kinds of lawyers that there are …

Assaults Lawyer, Bankruptcy Lawyer, Compensation Lawyer, Defense Lawyer, Divorce Lawyer, Fraud Lawyer, Insurance Lawyer, Medical Malpractice Lawyer, Personal Injury Lawyer, Nursing Home Lawyer, Social Security Lawyer, Wrongful Death Lawyer, Tax Lawyer, International Lawyer, Criminal Lawyer, Securities Lawyer, Car Accident Lawyer, Malpractice Lawyer, Software Lawyer.

It would all depend on where they went to law school, where they are working ect. Lawyers at large private firms tend to make the most, whereas government lawyers tend to make less. BTW you have not even come close to naming the different types of lawyers there are and half of the list you have put together could be lumped in together (not sure if there is such a thing as an assaults lawyer, Med mal car accident and wrongful death all fall under torts/personal injury).

In California, I know the statute of limitations for Medical Malpractice is 1 year from the date of discovery of injury. I also know that the doctor must be notified 3 months in advance of the filing of the lawsuit.

What happens if the plaintiff finds a lawyer 2 months before the statute of limitations runs? How can they give 3 months notice to the doctor, and still file within 1 year?

They will likely be unable to file the claim. They should have presented notice to the doctor, even if they didn’t have a lawyer yet.
