• Medical Malpractice Law Relating to Death of a Patient Inherently Unfair

  Evan Rosen | May 22, 2007 6:23 PM | 0 CommentsFort Lauderdale, FL Category: Miscellaneous
  

  Since 1990, in order to recover for a loved one's death that was caused by Medical Malpractice, you need to either be a spouse or a child under the age of 25. Recently, a 35 year old woman contacted me about the death of her father in a Hospital. Negligence seemed clear at first blush but I never got the chance to investigate because she is the only remaining "next of kin" but because she is...

  Based on the expiration of Florida's No Fault/PIP law, State Farm has announced it will reduce it's rates and that the average two car household will save approximately $360. Interesting... I'm sure the average cost of PIP protection is more than $360 per two car household. I sure hope the legislature asks where that extra premium money is going...

  The 2007 Legislative Session has ended and with it so has the time period to extend Florida's famous no-fault/PIP law. No-Fault or PIP law requires Florida drivers to carry auto insurance to pay for a percentage of their own medical bills and lost wages resulting from an auto accident regardless of who is at fault. There is no Florida law requiring people who are responsible for accidents to...

• Research finds Doctors have upper hand in Medical Malpractice Cases

  Research indicates doctors are treated "unfairly" favorably as compared to how juries treat injured plaintiffs. Philip Peters Jr., of the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law, has found through his research that most medical malpractice cases end in verdicts in favor of the Doctor. In fact only about 27 to 30 percent of medical malpractice cases result in verdicts in favor of the...

  With all the food imports now coming from China we can only expect more instances of food contamination in our food supply. Malamine is an industrial by-product that Chinese suppliers added to exported wheat gluten to make it appear more valuable. In fact it just made the product dangerous and led to the death of many dogs and cats that lived on pet food made with this gluten. Look at any of...

  As October draws near so does the expiration date set for Florida's No Fault/PIP law. This set of laws dealing with personal injury as it relates to car accidents has been the law in Florida for about 20 years. It requires that all drivers carry insurance for their own personal injury and for other people's property damage. In the event of an accident, each driver is covered by their own PIP...

• More Personal Injury Insurance Propaganda Hits the Web

  Evan Rosen | March 29, 2007 5:25 AM | 0 CommentsFort Lauderdale, FL Category: Miscellaneous
  

  Recently I read another article from an apparent lobbyist for the insurance industry making a strong stand against "lawsuit abuses." Well I again don't want to post a link to his article because I don't want to generate activity to that misinformation but I will once again paste my comment to his post:You think you could be a little more dramatic. I mean, "lawyers fighting to keep courts havens...

• Personal Injury Law to be Reformed in Florida(2)

  Evan Rosen | March 13, 2007 2:25 PM | 0 CommentsFort Lauderdale, FL Category: Miscellaneous
  

  In October of this year, the law that requires drivers to carry a minimum of $10,000 in no-fault personal injury protection is set to expire. Some senators are lobbying to extend the provision but health care providers, insurance companies and the lawyers who fight for the injured people all want the law to be changed. It is our opinion, that regardless of what is done with PIP/No-Fault law,...

• Personal Injury Legislation Debate Heats Up

  Evan Rosen | March 09, 2007 2:31 PM | 0 CommentsFort Lauderdale, FL Category: Miscellaneous
  

  This past Wednesday Hospital, business and insurance representatives attended a committee hearing to argue in favor of their anti-fairness and anti-tort propaganda. The debate over personal injury causes of action is heating up once again. The truth is these entities are "for-profit" and they only make money by collecting premiums and paying as little on claims as possible if anything. This...
