Study shows that most doctors will face malpractice lawsuits in career

Posted on August 25th, 2011 No Comments

According to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, most doctors will be sued for medical malpractice during some point in their career.

Some officials think that the threat of being sued is what leads doctors to practice what is known at “defensive medicine.” This means that extra tests are ordered to make sure that the diagnosis given is the correct one.

According to researchers, nearly 99 percent of doctors in medical fields that are considered high-risk will be involved in a medical malpractice lawsuit. Even in fields that are less risky, nearly 75 percent of doctors are sued.

If you or a loved one has been injured after being the victim of a medical malpractice lawsuit, you need experienced representation on your side. Contact the Detroit medical malpractice lawyers of Ravid & Associates, P.C., by calling 866-644-6587 today.

Detroit officer dies in motorcycle accident

Posted on July 27th, 2011 No Comments

A Detroit police sergeant died in a motorcycle accident last week after his motorcycle went off the road and crashed into a sign. He was not wearing his helmet at the time of the accident. No other vehicles were involved.

The cause of the accident that killed the 42 year-old officer is not known. The Marine City police were looking for him half an hour before he crashed when someone turned in his gun, which he had supposedly dropped in the street in Marine City. Toxicity tests are planned to determine if alcohol was a factor, but results could take weeks to process.

His funeral was held last Friday.

Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the late sergeant.
