Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · July 7, 2022 ·

Today’s reality is that most dental and medical providers will be sued. Below is a primer on the “anatomy” of a dental malpractice case.

Reducing Risks of a Dental Malpractice Action

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · June 30, 2022 ·

The probability that a dental specialist will be sued is fairly high. It is impossible to avoid all lawsuits. As a defense attorney, we often tell our clients there is a low threshold for a malpractice suit to be filed against a professional. In Illinois and thirty-two states, all it takes to file a suit […]

DENTAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUITS ARE ON THE RISE

Kristin Dvorsky Tauras · June 22, 2022 ·

Dental specialists are increasingly being sued for professional malpractice.

In March and April Julie Ramson and Dawn Ehrenberg won a case involving a young woman, age 22, who passed away from sepsis following a ruptured duodenal ulcer.

Persistence is the Key to Victory In A Medical Malpractice Case

Julie Ramson · August 12, 2018 ·

In May and June of this year we tried and won a difficult medical malpractice case in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant physician misread certain biopsy tissue slides of the plaintiff’s vocal cords in 2010, missing his cancer and allowing it to grow and spread.

Oh no! I’ve been sued for medical malpractice!

Julie Ramson · August 22, 2017 ·

Medical Malpractice Settlements – Double Edged Sword

Julie Ramson · July 18, 2017 ·

Medical malpractice settlements are a double edged sword. The doctor, or other health care professional, has been sued. They are vulnerable and emotional – they are hurt that their patient or the patient’s family would sue them, angry that they have been sued, and scared that they could lose their professional liability insurance and/or their […]
