actually, if a doctor treats you like a good friend or a family, he most likely would not put you in such situation.

blame shifting does not only occur in medical malpractice, but it also happens in all civil cases...

I very much enjoy " the answer"

The video reminds me that the lawyer who took my deposition changed his attitude to his needs accordingly. I do not take any of his attitude, no matter nice or mean. Thanks to your video that I could feel how he could use the question that I did not give the answer he could use against me. God just blessed me for the resource here. Thank you, Lawyer Oginski. I love you.

Watch out.

Very well said sir! And glad to see you back here in Florida!😃

Just participated in a almost 6 hour deposition me being the plaintiff in med mal litigation all the folks at this deposition got along great, respectable towards each other made the whole process not so bad as I was sitting in the hot seat at my attorney's office I was thinking the same thing when trial comes around in 2 months. keep the content coming enjoy every bit of it thank you

Depends on the client, and, the egregiousness of the harm. Also, the opposition’s strategy can be to get you to lower your guard, and, to make you think they’re feeble (when they ain’t). But…the world would be better if everyone conducted themselves w kindness. Great scenery Mr. O.

Attorney Oginsky, we are grateful to know that some defense attorneys are courteous and true professionals! Brilliant presentation that we needed to hear. We appreciate you.

Make no mistake about it. This attorney will still stick up for his client.

Happy New Year 🎉 🎊 😊

So a person on the defense side disposed doesn't have the legal right to not answer? They have to or be thrown in jail I guess.

Rather than not give them a settlement demand simply reply with the policy limit? You know that is the max you are getting and sends a similar message. Plus it is NEVER in the defenses counsel's interest to settle (they bill hourly) even if it is in the defendant's best interest. Give them a demand that they must bring to the client and if it is refused and you if what you win is more than the demand added to the legal fees the defense atty now has an upset client for not settling. A settlement of equal value is always a better outcome than a win a trial, it is faster and doesn't get appealed. Also if you have a defendant that is interested in keeping things quiet the defendant might be willing to fork over more money for a non-discloser than the injury is actually worth. It is always worth pursuing a settlement. It is not always worth settling but it is always worth discussing. There are valueable chips each side has before trial that disappear once the you go to trial -- legal expanses, medical privacy, non-disclosure, finality (not appealable,) ease of collections, etc

Algorithm must be working again. The tube is actually suggesting new creators ive not seen before, but are excellent in the craft. A few are multimillion subcriber channels, but many are sub 100k subscriber channels with equal or near equal production quality🎉🎉

If it is a Jab deal I would want all the info to come out in court for EVERYONE to hear.

I was admitted with a boil causing sepais. I was discharged, with oral antibiotics after 4 days. After admission conservative management was recommended. C reactive protein was 9.42. No cardiac tests wre ordered 10 days later, I came in via ambulance from syncope. The found bacterial endocarditis.

I get your point but it still doesn't hurt to put in a demand for more than what your client will take. The counteroffer could be exactly what the client wants and then you save them years of litigation.

Do you find that since the pandemic, jurors are more open and receptive to the idea that the doctors are indeed wrong in these cases then prior to the pandemic ?

I guess you have a good case.

Attorney Oginsky, we appreciate the information you provide on this video. Great question and an outstanding answer. We appreciate your legal expertise!

The truth is, injury happens all the time and most people don't know what injury is

excellent info, there are so many twists and turns by the opposing party especially for those of us who come pro per

This is a huge part of what's wrong with our medical system. Vultures like these

Why is this in my feed? Kinda a long-winded ad for a planiff's lawyer. Where's your hammer? Also, four docs agreeing on something is astounding. Sounds like a consensus and not negligence. The problem may be the medical science involved, not the individuals.

Sounding like hebrew was your first language.

A doctor headhunter…main reason malpractice insurance is high and a big part of why doctor fees are high.

Dear Lawyer Oginski, I would like you to know I appealed a case to the U.S. Supreme Court, and my petition reached the Justices. It is said most cases cannot reach the Justices. I did a pretty good job. I failed to get a writ. I guess it was because the case was about corruption, not a legal issue.

Merry Christmas Lawyer Oginski, and happy New Year. A lot of thanks to you. Thank you so much for I can fight like a lawyer.

Did you win?

Well, do you win the case at trail? Lol

So, after settlement with Dr. 1+2, you continue the case with Dr. 3+4. It doesn't sound very complicated. You already had half win. Good luck with the other half

What happens if I tell the defense attorney to go to hell because I refuse to answer his questions? Is the police going to arrest me?

Back in newyork ! Huh for the holidays!

Attorney Oginsky, we thank you for a terrific discussion in this video. Great details and great questions. You have helped us. Thank you!

In a situation like this. If you came to a agreement with doctor 1 2 and 4 but not 3. Could you go to trial against only doctor 3? Even if that's not what happend is that possible?

I imagine this is similar in most states. Here in IL doctors hate to give out records, and they really question the patient. My previous family doctor gave me a difficult time. They were like we will send a copy to your new family doctor electronically for free. They wanted almost $100 for a physical copy. I could see $25 to $30.

What if I just say "I dont know" to everything? "I dont know" what my name is. "I dont know" what my job title is, etc

How much does it cost to run a deposition for a med mal case? Can the med mal lawyer file a lawsuit BEFORE hiring the expert witness? Is the expert witness required to be part of a deposition, or can the plaintiff lawyer wait until trial to put the expert on?

I know its a longshot ; but , do you still practice? I think I might have a case -- After laparoscopic gall bladder surgery ; I got pancreatitis after having a stent placed in my bile duct and I've also had part of my pancreas and my spleen removed and got diabetes requiring insulin ---

It sounds you have a good case.

Were you expecting the other side to offer a number?

What about the Stower's Demand Letter law? In Texas, if you send a Demand Letter for a reasonable amount and the insurance company refuses to settle, then if a jury rules for the plaintiff for an amount above the policy limit, then insurance co. must pay that amount because they refused to settle before court. I think Stower's Law is federal.

If you come to the conclusion not to make a demand on the principal of 1- your client wants to let a jury put a value on the case and 2 it's so high you don't believe the defense would want to talk based on the demand. I think it is logical to assume your client would be briefed on the risks of trial even before you tell the defense you won't make a demand.

what if you sign without prejudice UCC 1-308 ?

If the defendant is carrying only a policy up to a certain amount, wouldn't the insurance company just pay that amount and be done with it? The burden would be your responsibility to collect, from the defendant, anything above the policy. What if he has no assets to place a lien against?

Attorney Oginsky, we thank you for a brilliant analysis. We needed to hear the facts that you have presented to us.

Gracias

Council, if I fell down some rickety stairs, do I need cameras or witness to have a verdict in a lawsuit? I had a neck fusion and several feet surgeries. A man did come outside after I fell and saw me laying on the ground from the fall. thank you

My medical negligence and lack of duty of care has definitely caused trauma. I wax told last December I had lung cancer I had the lung removed in February by March they had realised they had got it wrong.... but from the day I got home from the hospital full of drugs and a big wound that needed changing and dressing no body came. I was then told I had TB I took the tb medication.... found out I never had TB. THE hospital has absolutely ruined my life , My trust and my confidence. I wouldn't call 999 in emergency . I'm traumatised. And they need to be held accountable.
