Fulmer LeRoy & Albee offers
professional expertise in the defense of medical practitioners against medical
malpractice lawsuits. Negligence is a
key element in the cause of malpractice, and it is essential to show that there
was no negligence, that the medical professional practiced due diligence and
concern. Disproving charges of negligence
is the first line of medical malpractice defense. Contributory negligence is that which occurs
when someone other than the medical professional is culpable for alleged
injuries. The capable attorneys at
Fulmer LeRoy & Albee investigate these claims thoroughly for signs of
patient negligence in contributing to their own injuries, and said attorneys
are managed by partner Michael W. LeRoy.
A patient may allege he had no
informed consent, meaning he was not properly apprised of all the risks inherent
in his procedure or treatment. Such
claims may arise from the use of a treatment program which is new or radical to
care for the patient. Professional
attorneys will access other professional medical practitioners to give evidence
in support of the line of treatment, called the respectable minority defense,
and will thoroughly research and interview all principles involved to unearth
evidence disproving claims of lack of informed consent. Many municipalities and states have Good
Samaritan statues, which protect those who react in emergency situations to
assist injured individuals. These laws
protect providers of emergency aid, and Michael W. LeRoy may bring these
statutes to bear in the case of a malpractice suit by those who were lent
assistance by good Samaritans.
