Ravi Verma November 24, 2023
A lawyer that cares about you I feel fortunate to have found Mr. Cortright. It was my first lawsuit experience, and I was full of trepidation. Dan not only provided brilliant legal help, but he also showed that he cared about his client's welfare. His website has an unusual tagline, "The healing law firm." I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment after working with him for over a year. I strongly recommend Dan to people who need a lawyer in his area of expertise.

Legal Answers
140 Questions Answered
Q. Is it malpractice if a surgery differed from my signed consent, resulting in a permanent condition?
A: To constitute malpractice, the doctor/hospital's care must have fallen below the medical industry standard of care. It appears from your post that you may have a case for medical malpractice. It is important to contact an experienced malpractice attorney quickly as there is a limited time for a malpractice lawsuit to be filed.
Q. I want to know if I have a case for my fathers death due to negligence from a hospital
A: I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Discussing the specific facts of the care your father received with an experienced medical malpractice attorney is the first step to determining if you have a viable malpractice case for your father's death. As the other attorney has stated, there will need to be proof that your father's providers' actions fell below the standard of care for medical professionals.

Best of luck in your search for an attorney to handle your case.
Q. What type of attorney is needed for victims compensation after a shooting incident involving personal injury and vehicle damage in California?
A: Whether you can recover for the damage to the car without having your own insurance will depend on whether the responsible party's information was obtained and they have insurance or can be held liable in a lawsuit for the damage. The same to a large extent goes for the injury damages.
