Facts about Medical Malpractice in Kentucky
Less than 5% of Kentucky physicians account for 50% of malpractice claims (Natl. Practitioner Data Bank)The vast majority of physicians are dedicated and highly competent practitioners. The problem is, doctors seem to have a problem disciplining other doctors. The facts are pretty clear: A minority of physicians are responsible for a significant number of malpractice claims and yet, they are rarely disciplined by the state Board of Medical Licensure.
Take a moment to look at the data provided below from the National Practitioner Data Bank. Our conclusion? The medical establishment has largely left improper care to the victim, their families and an attorney to resolve. Is this the best way to govern a profession? Perhaps not, but it is the reality of the situation. In these instances, we pursue and hold accountable those who are providing sub-standard care. Here are some facts to consider:
Automobile Accident Injuries
We are prepared to negotiate with the insurance companies, or take your case to trial, to recover your expenses and compensate you for your pain and suffering. We help people who have suffered due to the careless actions of others. We navigate through the maze of insurance laws to assure you receive fair compensation for your injuries and other damages. Some accidents are actually the result of defective parts. We also handle these types of products liability issues, in which case the manufacturer of the device or vehicle is liable. These can include issues involving roll-overs, tire blowouts, defective seat belts and seat backs, malfunctioning airbags and other types of devices that have not been properly designed, manufactured, assembled or installed.
Caring for Children
Establishing for the continuing care of children who are victims of the negligence of others often requires more than the experience of a personal injury attorney.
Other considerations, such as guardianships, trusts, annuities and college funds can benefit greatly from an attorney experienced in trust and estate law. At Meinhart, Smith & Manning, our experience in this area of law can help surviving children and their guardians make certain that the long-term interests of any children involved will receive the benefit of our experience in this area. Trust and estate planning has important and unique tax implications and we make certain to minimize tax liability when planning for the short and the long term financial needs of children.
