What qualifies as medical malpractice?
Medical Malpractice Lawyer
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a patient is harmed by a healthcare provider who doesn’t provide proper care. As a medical malpractice lawyer in Kansas City, MO from a firm like Royce Injury Attorneys LLC can explain, to prove medical malpractice, you must establish:
- That you and the medical provider had a patient/caregiver relationship. You can do this by showing bills as evidence that you paid for care or documentation of your appointment history with the provider.
- That the medical professional’s action or lack thereof caused or contributed to your injuries or illness.
Every state has its laws specific to medical malpractice cases. If you feel that you or someone you love has been the victim of medical negligence or malpractice, you should seek the services of a competent professional who understands the rules in your jurisdiction.
What Are Some Common Medical Errors?
Medical mistakes that may lead to a medical malpractice lawsuit take many forms. To determine malpractice, the law compares the care you received with the generally accepted standard of care. The standard of care for a given condition is the treatment that a competent medical professional would render given the same resources, information, and circumstances. While the details of every case are different, here are some of the common failures that result in patient harm:
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose: These errors involve a healthcare provider’s failure to identify a medical condition that results in a lack of appropriate treatment for the patient. For example, if a provider fails to identify a mole as suspicious for skin cancer and the cancer advances unchecked, this may be a case of medical malpractice.
- Failure to warn of risks: Your medical care providers must explain all known risks for the treatments they recommend for you. If the provider performs a treatment without giving the patient all the information needed to make an informed decision, that may constitute medical malpractice.
- Incorrect treatment: If your medical provider treats your condition in an unreasonable way or outside the standard of care, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice suit. The same is true if your provider identifies the correct care plan but then doesn’t provide the services correctly.
Where Can I Learn More?
If you feel you may have a medical malpractice case, you should contact an attorney in your area who has experience in handling these cases. They can be complex and require many expert witnesses, so you want someone with a proven track record in this arena that has the demonstrated ability to protect your rights.

What is Arbitration and Why You Should Always Opt-Out of an Arbitration Clause
Consumer Protection Attorney
Arbitration is a procedure in which two parties agree to submit a dispute to an arbitrator who makes a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court. You, as the consumer, are waiving your Constitutional right to appear in a court of law and to have your dispute heard by a jury. Arbitration is not in the best interest of individuals. It is a method of dispute resolution primarily designed to be used by corporations against other corporations to allow the parties to keep the dispute private.
Let me repeat that, agreeing to arbitration is NOT in your best interest. Large corporations such as mobile phone and credit card companies, TV service providers, car dealerships, hotels, banks, and some service providers will try to sneak binding arbitration agreements into their multi-page contracts.
If you sign a contract with a binding arbitration agreement included, you are forgoing your Constitutional right to a trial by jury. In some instances, the corporation will be able to select where the arbitration is held, and the corporation has a voice in who to hire as the arbitrator. This is not a situation you want to find yourself in. In almost all cases, arbitration is much more expensive than fees paid to a court. Do you think this arbitrator will find in your favor when they are being paid by the other side? The realistic answer is probably not.
Before signing a contract of any kind, read the entire agreement. It’s long, it’s tedious, but it’s a necessary evil. If you find an arbitration clause in said contract, ask the company if you can opt-out of that portion of the contract. In some cases, they will agree, and you will keep your Constitutional rights.
If you have an issue arise with a contract you have signed that includes an arbitration clause, you may need to contact a consumer protection attorney.

Dog Bites: Two Rules, One Accident
We love our furry four-legged friends and they love us back, but sometimes they don’t love other people. And often, it’s only natural. Dogs feel a lot of the same things that we do like trauma, sadness, and fear. If a dog has gone through a traumatic experience like having been hurt by the hands of another human, some dogs will retain many of those same feelings and they will develop instinctual reactions towards certain people or unique circumstances.
Usually, this results in dog bites, that when a dog feels threatened, it will instinctively react by biting the person it perceives as a threat whether or not it was their actual intention to threaten it. It’s usually an innocent reaction that most owners would prefer people treat with compassion, but for the person who was bitten by the dog, compassion is the last thing they want to give. Dog bites like any kind of major laceration is an unwelcome, invasive disfigurement of the body that can also get infected if not treated. Like any other personal injury, the injured deserve compensation for their damages.
One Bite: The One Bite rule is an arguably archaic rule that while it has been mildly updated over time it still has the look of something that needs to be heavily adjusted or done away with altogether. That’s because the One Bite rule has the interesting distinction of allowing a dog to commit one bite before the owner faces liability for damages. While only a few states still make judgments examining this rule, nowadays, the focus is on whether or not the owner knew the dog would bite people. Things like its breed or its history would be taken into examination. If the dog has a history of being aggressive, this would be taken into account as well.
Strict Liability: Strict liability in any facet of personal injury refers to the notion that a defendant is liable for an injury regardless of whether he or she could have done anything to prevent the accident. With this rule, what the owner didn’t know about the dog and its history is of no value to the case, say for instance, if it had a history of being abused resulting in it being hostile on occasion. As mentioned before, owners would want the injured to look upon this with compassion, but this can’t be done. If the injured individual wasn’t trespassing or did not provoke the dog, then the owner is still liable regardless of what could’ve been done.
A dog bites lawyer such as Eric Roy Law Firm, can help you recover damages and compensation for your injuries and suffering.
