Brain Injuries - Things to KnowBrain injuries include any serious head injury that results in a lasting mental or physical impairment. A brain injury may result from any type of fall or accident, as well as from acts of violence, sports injury, or improper medical care. Workers Compensation - Things to KnowWork laws have been created to guarantee that employees who have been disabled or injured on the job are provided with permanent or fixed monetary awards, making litigation unnecessary. Medical Malpractice - Things to KnowMedical malpractice refers to an injury resulting from the negligence of a medical treatment provider. Under the law, a patient who is injured by a doctor or other healthcare provider because of substandard care has a right to compensation for his or her injuries. Substandard medical care is care which deviates from certain medical standards which direct how a health care provider should react to a given situation. These medical standards are not contained in any one book.
