Campbell accounted for none of the 6 fatalities and 25 of the 786 injuries suffered by bicyclists in accidents that occurred in Santa Clara County in 2010, according to the California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System. Hit-and-run was a factor in 10 of the accidents that resulted in injury or death in the city that year. Dr. Fiamengo testified that the applicable standard in Charlotte in 2010 for an anesthesiologist such as Dr. Vullo required, among other things, that Dr. Vullo recognize and avoid intraneural injections while performing popliteal nerve blocks. Dr. Vullo failed to do so in this case, which directly caused Ms. Peter's injuries. Reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, plaintiffs offered sufficient evidence of (1) the applicable standard of care, (2) breach of that standard of care, (3) proximate causation, and (4) damages, successful to defeat defendants' summary judgment motion. Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, a hospital is liable for the negligence of a physician or surgeon acting as its agent. There will generally be no vicarious liability on an employer for the negligent acts of an independent contractor. Unless there is but one inference that can be drawn from the facts, whether an agency relationship exists is a question of fact for the jury. If only one inference can be drawn from the facts then it is a question of law for the trial court. Ben Glass is a personal injury and medical malpractice attorney in Fairfax, Virginia.

Desiderio submits that the complaint erroneously alleges that Desiderio was elected and now acts as council member of the Clairton Municipal Authority. As noted, the Attorney General has filed an amended complaint correcting this error. Plaintiffs in medical negligence cases are required to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the allegedly negligent act or omission was a proximate cause of the harm alleged. See Kramer v. Lewisville Mem'l Hosp., 858 S.W.2d 397, 400 (Tex.1993). To establish proximate cause, the plaintiff must prove (1) foreseeability and (2) cause-in-fact. Leitch, 935 S.W.2d at 118-19. The ultimate standard of proof on the causation issue is whether, by a preponderance of the evidence, the negligent act or omission is shown to be a substantial factor in bringing about the harm and without which the harm would not have occurred. Park Place Hosp. v. Estate of Milo, 909 S.W.2d 508, 511 (Tex.1995); see Arguelles v. U.T. Family Med. Ctr., 941 S.W.2d 255, 258 (.-Corpus Christi 1996, no writ). The precise words of reasonable medical probability are not essential, but evidence of causation must still rise above mere conjecture or possibility. See Duff v. Yelin, 751 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex.1988); Brownsville Pediatric Ass'n v. Reyes, 68 S.W.3d 184, 189 (.-Corpus Christi 2002, no pet.). The trier of fact may decide the issue of proximate cause in medical malpractice cases based upon: (1) general experience and common sense from which reasonable persons can determine causation; (2) scientific principles provided by expert testimony allowing the fact finder to establish a traceable chain of causation from the condition back to the event; or (3) a probable causal relationship as articulated by expert testimony. Marvelli v. Alston, 100 S.W.3d 460, 470 (.-Fort Worth 2003, pet. denied) (citing Parker v. Employers Mut. Liab. Ins. Co. of Wis., 440 S.W.2d 43, 46 (Tex.1969)).

Marilyn Pytka found herself in financial, physical, professional and personal ruin after spending over 20 years as her mother's family caregiver. She was forced into litigation immediately following her mother's death. She then found herself fighting for herself and her young child in a legal system that marginalized, denigrated and trivialized her. She says that Canada has laws to protect women who give up their careers to care for their family, but lacks laws to protect family caregivers, usually women from low-income families, caring for family members. Determined that Canadian family caregivers, their families and future generations will not suffer the fate she has experienced, she's testified before a Parliamentary Committee and addressed federal and provincial politicians about the need for legislation to protect people such as herself from the infringements of their rights and compensation after years of caring for a loved one who is elderly, ill or dying. mapytka@ View Guest page Doctors, dentists, nurses and technicians who work at North York Branson Hospital are expected to treat patients with a reasonable degree of skill and care. Erroneous treatment that injures a patient may give rise to a medical malpractice compensation claim. There is no statutory definition of the standard of care that is required. Healthcare professionals are judged by comparing them with other reasonably competent doctors, dentists, nurses and technicians treating patients with similar illnesses in similar locations. The mere fact that treatment fails does not necessarily indicate clinical negligence. There are a number of defences open to healthcare practitioners in order to rebuff claims of incompetence including accepted practice, respected minority and error of judgement. Medical malpractice law is highly complex and requires the services of a skilled advocate. To attempt to define a standard of care, many of our experts cited the 2004 article, The Standard of Care in Dentistry, Where Did it Come From? How Has it Evolved? by Joseph P. Graskemper, DDS, JD, that was published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.1 In that article, Graskemper informs dentists that rather than possessing its own definition, standard of care actually exists in the definition of negligence, which has four distinct elements; all must be met if it is to be used as grounds for a malpractice suit. He references King2 to state those four elements: Kent, Anderson, Bush, & Metcalf, P.C. attorneys have successfully defended automobile liability cases since this firm's inception.

However, medical malpractice occurs in many less drastic forms, although the results can be just as damaging, or even fatal. The application judge determined that since the MHA contained a complete code for reviewing decisions, the court should decline to exercise its habeas corpus jurisdiction. The application judge concluded that the Court of Appeal's decision in Starnaman v Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre conclusively determined that the MHA does not offend ss.7, 9 or 12 of the Charter. Additionally it was found that the appellant did not suffer a s.7 infringement. Although the maximum security facility was not an ideal setting because of its security level and limited deaf-appropriate services, it provided a safe and secure environment with some sign language support. The appellant enjoyed additional privileges that were tailored to his individual circumstances. The judge concluded that there was no evidence that the failure to accommodate the appellant's disability prolonged his detention contrary to s.7 of the Charter. However the application judge did find the appellant's ss.15(1) rights had been infringed by not providing him with effective communication during a number of specific therapeutic interactions. As he found only historical breaches of the appellant's Charter rights, it was unnecessary to determine the appellant's service and security needs as contemplated by the bifurcation order. The appellant appealed this decision and moved to introduce fresh evidence regarding his status as an involuntary patient. Emotional distress is an unavoidable element of modern life. In Thing v. LaChusa, 48 Cal.3d 644, 257 865, 771 P.2d 814 (Cal.1989), 40 the California Supreme Court recognized that: Except for LaMure's first attack on Kristopher, LaMure's assaults did not occur under the guise or pretense of medical care or treatment and therefore cannot be attributed to the "rendering of professional services." Nor do we believe that Kristopher's injuries from LaMure's first sexual assault, although committed under the pretense of medical care, resulted from "rendering 738 professional services." Several other jurisdictions have addressed the question of whether a sexual assault on a patient by a health care professional arises or results from rendering "professional services" under the coverage provisions of professional liability insurance like LaMure's. These cases generally fall into three categories.

More than 13,000 doctors in the United States have been disciplined for serious incompetence or misconduct, including drug abuse, negligence, substandard patient care, Medicaid fraud and patient sexual abuse. According to a study by Washington Health Group, most of those physicians continue to treat patients and retain their licenses. State confidentiality laws make it nearly impossible to find out the background information on a doctor, even if that doctor has been disciplined for incompetence or negligence. Recent studies confirm that a small percentage of doctors are responsible for the vast majority of injuries caused by substandard care. This reaffirms our general perception that most doctors are good doctors, and worthy of our trust.

Standard of care refers to the level of care that can be expected from most other dentists with similar education or experience, and in the same geographic location.

Central DuPage Hospital, 1053d 850, 61 651, 435 N.E.2d 140 (1982), to be helpful in addressing the Department's contention. In Parkson, the Department sought specific medical information concerning nonparty patients. Parkson, 1053d at 855, 61 651, 435 N.E.2d 140. In response to the Department's assertion that the physician-patient privilege would not be violated by excluding the names and identifying numbers from the patient records, the appellate court stated: The law of medical malpractice varies from nation to nation, and in the United States, from state to state. Generally, however, a successful malpractice claim must first establish that the caregiver had a legal duty to the affectedpatient. Inhumane as it might seem, a doctor walking down a street or eatingat a restaurant in most U.S. states has no legal responsibility to help an injured person. However, a doctor who offers voluntary aid becomes liable forany injury resulting from malpractice. Clearly, a legal duty exists when a patient visits a doctor's office seeking treatment and the doctor agrees to provide it. In certain cases, physicians may also have a duty to non-patients. For example, a jury might determine that a doctor who failed to diagnose epilepsy in a patient has a legal responsibility to others injured in an automobile accident caused by an epileptic seizure suffered by the patient.
