Don’t Be A Victim Of Medical Malpractice: Tips To Protect Yourself

Medical malpractice can have very serious, permanent consequences, including brain damage, loss of mobility, unnecessary surgeries and even death. That’s why it’s so important to protect yourself to the best of your ability. Of course most doctors are very caring, responsible and capable, but that does not mean that you have to trust them implicitly all the time. Even the best doctors can make a tragic mistake.  Here are a few tips to help you protect yourself from being a victim of medical malpractice:

KEEP THOROUGH MEDICAL RECORDS: Knowing your medical history and keeping organized records of your own is important. This will help ensure that when you are completing paperwork at your doctor’s office you are giving them accurate and up-to-date information.

UNDERSTAND THE MEDICATIONS YOU ARE TAKING: Medications can be very helpful in treating ailments and relieving pain, but you must be aware of the hidden dangers as well.  Do your homework on any and all medications you take, including side effects, drug interactions and possible long-term effects. Be sure you share all prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking with your doctor before accepting a new prescription (even if your doctor doesn’t ask). 

BE AN ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF: You have to take charge of your health. Living a healthy lifestyle, keeping abreast on medical advances and being vocal with your doctor is imperative. Don’t be afraid to ask the doctors and nurses questions until you feel comfortable and satisfied with the answers. Also, do not shy away from getting second opinions, especially in the case of a serious diagnosis such as cancer. Also, research your doctor's background to make sure he or she has not been involved in censures or sued for and/or accused of malpractice in the past.

Tips To Prevent Trick Or Treating Injuries

Halloween is a time for scary stories, fun costumes and of course lots and lots of treats. It can also be dangerous as well. Traveling at night, attending dark haunted houses and of course trick-or-treating can leave participants in these activities vulnerable to potential risks. Many children in Georgia trick-or-treat on their own without any adult supervision. It is up to all of us to try and keep them as safe as possible. Here are a few tips to help prevent trick or treating injuries:

HAVE YOUR HOME WELL LIT: Your little visitors need to see where they are going. Be sure to provide them with a clear, fully lit pathway to your front door.

DON’T DRIVE UNLESS NECESSARY: Cars traveling down the same roads that young trick or treaters are walking along adds extra risks. Many costumes can be hard to see at night, so it is best to do any necessary travel before or after trick or treating hours if at all possible. 

DRESS YOUR TRICK OR TREATER APPROPRIATELY: If you are sending your trick or treater out on Halloween, be sure they have a flashlight, clothing that fits well, shoelaces are tightly laced and that their costume has some bright colors on it. You want to be sure tripping hazards are minimized and visibility is maximized. 

We hope you have a safe and fun-filled Halloween. We hope these trick or treating safety tips help. Happy Halloween from The Foster Firm team!

3 Questions You Should Ask When Choosing An Accident Attorney

A serious accident can leave you devastated. Physical suffering, emotional distress, family strain and financial ruin can just be some of the problems you have to face in the aftermath of an accident. That is why it is so crucial to select your accident attorney carefully. Catchy slogans and constant commercials does not necessarily equate to quality legal representation. Here are a few questions we recommend that you ask before choosing an accident attorney...

1. What is their actual record for the specific type of accident claim you have? Ask for real world numbers, exact settlement amounts and trial results.

2. How experienced are they with dealing with insurance companies? Find out what insurance companies they have dealt with and how successful they were with the various insurance firms.

3. Who will be personally handling your case? You need to know if you will just be passed off to a lesser experienced attorney or legal assistant. It’s important to know you will be able to work directly with the attorney that you are expecting will represent you. 

We would be more than happy to answer these questions for you at The Foster Firm. We have a verifiable track record of success in accident claims. We are well respected Accident Attorneys in Metro Atlanta. Feel free to call us to learn more.

Preventing Animal Bites & Attacks

Summer usually means lots of time spent outside. Family get-togethers, sporting events and barbecues are all fun-filled, but with the enjoyment of the outdoors also comes increased risks of dog bites and other animal attacks. Loose dogs, indigenous snakes and pesky rodents can all pose potential bite risks. Protecting yourself is important. You and your family should try your best to reduce your risks so that you all can stay safe and comfortable the whole summer long.

Here are a few tips to help reduce your risk of dog and animal bites:

Keep your yard and home exterior free of food and debris that may attract pests and rodents

Keep your landscaping neat and trim so snakes and pests do not have easy places to hide

If you have issues with stray or unleashed animals, contact your local animal control unit

Consider fencing in your yard to keep out unwanted animals

If you do suffer from an animal or dog bite because of another’s negligence, contact us. We help clients in Atlanta receive just compensation when they are the victim of animal bites that result in injuries. We have years of experience and never charge any fees until your case is settled.
