Favorable Medical Review Panel Opinion

I recently received a favorable medical Review Panel Opinion on an unfortunate case involving a slip-and-fall at a hospital resulting in the patient's death. We were able to establish that the nurse's actions (of briefly stepping only a few feet away from the patient while the patient was instructed to use the restroom) were appropriate based on the patient's level of cognitive awareness at the time. Based on the patient's level of cognitive functioning, and awareness, it was unlikely and unforeseeable that the patient would suddenly and unexpectedly stand on her own and fall forward.

Making Clients' Lives Easier

One of our favorite clients has shared their internal service catch-phrase goal to "make our lives easier." At Bleeke, Dillon, Crandall, we strive to make the lives of our clients easier by providing extraordinary service.

We understand that our clients have far more cases to manage than just the cases we are handling in Indiana. We also understand that our clients have reports that must be provided to evaluate risk and make decisions, and that the reports must be done in a timely manner (not when it is convenient for the lawyers to get around to it). Finally, we understand that doctors and nurses or clients going through adoptions or divorces, have many anxieties -- our job is to provide sound, confident and realistic advice that provides peace of mind to our clients.

Our hope is that by truly listening to our client's needs, and then doing everything we can do to meet those needs, we can do our part to "make our clients' lives easier" and better.
