Before 2019 ends, many Montana residents will find themselves in need of medical care. Many situations will be categorized as emergencies. Others will be a lot less urgent. Either way, every patient has a right to expect the highest quality care, and certainly should not have to worry about medical negligence.
How big of a problem is medical negligence in Montana?
Montana truck accidents often leave a lot of questions unanswered
When two motor vehicles collide, the results are often disastrous. If Montana accident victims survive their injuries, they may spend days, weeks, even months in recovery. In fact, many incidents lead to permanent disabilities that prevent those afflicted from being able to return to work. Truck accidents are often serious, if not fatal, made evident by a recent collision that occurred when the cab of a tractor-trailer somehow disconnected from the rest of the truck.
Medical negligence: Something that should never occur, but does
When you visit a Montana physician's office or go to a hospital, either seeking medical diagnosis or treatment, a series of events typically unfolds that involves a team of licensed professionals. You may interact with numerous staff members, from a front desk receptionist to nurses, doctors or even lab technicians. In each instance, you have the right to reasonably expect that the health care provider will act in accordance with state laws and accepted safety standards of the industry. Sadly, medical negligence often causes personal injury to patients.
Montana high school teaches teens about car accidents
It was driving safety week at a local Catholic high school in Montana. The principal of the school had a wrecked vehicle placed at the entrance to the school parking lot that students use. She said she wanted to car to be near the road so that student drivers would see it as they arrived for school each day. The display is meant to raise awareness of the need for driving safety, which will, in turn, hopefully help reduce the number of car accidents in the area.
