Employers in Arkansas are generally allowed to maintain drug-free workplace policies. This means they can require pre-employment drug tests and make... View More

There may have been something wrong with the POA, or the hospital simply refused to obey the directives of the attorney in fact. What damages did the Decedent incur because of the hospital's disobedience? There may not be any, and if so, no cause of action. If damages are present, then... View More

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. One option at this point could be to reach out to Arkansas attorneys to try to arrange a free initial consult. Most law firms that handle such cases offer them. You could search... View More

Another doctor must review the records and determine if the doctor acted below the standard of care and if that malpractice led to the damages/harm.

An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for five weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. About your question about whether you could go to court, it will depend upon whether you can demonstrate you suffered damages as a result of a breach of a duty of medical care. That... View More
The Little Rock police department is investigating for felony charges. The whole incident was on video. I’m wanting to sue them but I have never had to search for a lawyer before much less understanding all the areas of practice.

You should consult an attorney with experience in intentional torts. If this security guard truly did attack you unprovoked, and the whole incident is on video, you could have a strong case against both the security guard and the hospital for any injuries you sustained in the attack.
After the surgery while still in the hospital. The surgeon APRN came in for a visit. I told her I'm in horrible pain and that the 2 7.5 mg hydrocodone every 4 hours isn't helping. I've been on 4 10mg hydrocodone for 10 plus years. Nothing was done until I called the doctor's... View More

If you are in Arkansas, this would be a difficult case but a patient in pain should have adequate pain relief. I would need to know about your prior prescription history (Donets seem reasonable to prescribe less pain meds immediately after surgery than the patient was on without surgery (maybe... View More

The girlfriend cannot do that! It seems incredibly reckless in my opinion.

This doesn't seem to be a question. However, be mindful that medical negligence causes have a short statute of limitations and most lawyers are unable to commit to a case until a good bit of investigation is done. So talk to an attorney and pursue your case as soon as you can.
I had bypass in my groin that was done 3/01. Then I needed the replacement redone as it had worked for the expected time it was supposed to. 7/07 is when I went in because I had a blood clot in lower right leg. Dr. Did not replace it then , they did what they call a AFRO, basically it wasn't... View More

No--the injury is from the malpractice, and the malpractice statute governs. Sorry! Suggest you contact a member of the Arkansas Assn for Justice--they give free consults. At least that way you know you asked around, and it is what it is, and however bad or wrong it was at this point you must give... View More

It's very difficult. Start by contacting a member of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Assn who handles medical cases for the county where it happened or in the nearest large city if there are none in your area--they give free consultations. Follow their advice on what records to get and how.

I would suggest you contact a member of the Arkansas Assn for Justice --they give free consultations. They may suggest waiting to see what progress it makes. Understand suing a dr. who perhaps saved you from lung cancer because you have hoarseness may not play well before most juries. But get the... View More
My daughter was in the hospital for 2 days and almost died. Every lawyer contacted so far will not take the case. Could you please steer me in a good direction. I am close to Memphis Tennessee if there is any lawyers you know that would take the case.
answered on Aug 16, 2016
Unfortunately bringing the case is way more expensive than what you'd be likely to get. If every lawyer contacted --sounds like several--says no, then it's no. You can try to take whoever is responsible to small claims but they would need a letter saying it was the mold and nothing else.... View More
I had foot surgery. I had a tailors bunion removed, a hammertoe fixed and two neuromas removed during the first surgery. When fixing the hammertoe/tailors bunion, the surgeon placed a permanent pin in my foot, that went through and punctured a neuroma that he missed, a third neuroma. Because of... View More

It is difficult to know if the injury portion fell below the standard of care. Given you were in the bathroom, most people want privacy, so it might have been OK to leave you there. The other issue is damages, and all you suffered was a concussion, to which you may not have any permanent damages to... View More
