Damages Archives - Justpoint Knowledge

The concept of damages is not always explained by the attorney, whether they are physical, financial, or emotional. The extent of a person’s damage will affect the settlement value of the case. People with more serious damage will have cases of higher value. This impacts the attorney’s compensation for the case, as they are paid with a percentage of the settlement value.

Birth Injury Archives - Justpoint Knowledge

Medical malpractice is when a doctor or a medical professional, such as a nurse, acts negligently and harms the patient. In order for a doctor to be considered responsible, a doctor-patient relationship must have existed, and the doctor must have been negligent in treating you. In legal terms, this is referred to as a “deviation from the standard of care.”
