Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common liability case queries.

How do medication errors happen in a medical setting?

Medication errors occur when a patient receives the wrong drug or incorrect dosage. This can happen at multiple points: a doctor prescribing it, a pharmacist filling it, or a nurse administering it. Errors include mistakes in dosage strength, frequency, or route (e.g., injection vs. pill). Allergies and dangerous drug interactions are also common culprits. These preventable mistakes can cause severe adverse reactions, organ damage, or death, and are a major patient safety concern.

What Do You Have to Prove to Win a Civil Rights Case?

To win a typical civil rights case, you must prove two key elements. First, you must show the person acting was a government official or was using government authority. Second, you must prove their actions deprived you of a specific right guaranteed by the Constitution or federal law, such as free speech, due process, or freedom from unreasonable seizure. The official’s intent often matters. For instance, in an excessive force claim, you must show the force used was objectively unreasonable under the circumstances known to the officer at the time.

What are the four basic elements needed to prove negligence?

To win a negligence case, a person must prove four things. First, the defendant owed them a duty of care (a legal obligation to act reasonably). Second, the defendant breached that duty by acting unreasonably or carelessly. Third, this breach directly caused the plaintiff’s injury. Fourth, the plaintiff suffered actual damages or losses, like medical bills or lost wages. If any one of these elements is missing, a negligence claim will fail. This structure is the core framework for almost all personal injury lawsuits.

How can a building code violation affect a real estate sale?

Code violations can significantly disrupt a sale. Most buyers conduct inspections, and discovered violations can lead to renegotiations, a lower sale price, or a canceled deal. Lenders often refuse to finance a property with major unaddressed violations. Sellers are usually legally required to disclose known violations. Failure to do so can result in the buyer suing after the purchase for the cost of repairs and other damages.
