Episode 10: Is your hospital injury really a medical malpractice claim?
What happens if you are injured on hospital property? What happens if hospital staff cause you to fall and become injured? What if someone is left unattended and falls out of their hospital bed? Defense attorneys and insurance companies will generally argue that it involves medical malpractice rather than ordinary negligence. This is not because it actually arises from professional negligence, but because the rules are generally stacked in their favor that that settlement value--if they offer anything at all--goes way down. #hospitalnegligence #medicalmalpractice #personalinjury #tortreform #StLouis #OldCourthouse #premisesliability Attorney Craig Steger is an attorney practicing in the Midwest...

Craig discusses a common mistake people make on social media, such as Twitter and Instagram.
