Does Nevada Have Jurisdiction? Part III
Posted on February 13, 2008This is the last part of my three-part series on the issue of whether Nevada has jurisdiction over a doctor who practices medicine over the Internet from a different state. 1. Many States Have Recognized The Propriety Of Exercising Jurisdiction Over Nonresident Doctors Courts have found jurisdiction over nonresident doctors where they purposefully directed their actions at plaintiffs' states...
Back from Other Places
Posted on February 12, 2008I've been wrapped up in litigation lately and otherwise trying to take advantage of the epic snow that we've been seeing; and I've therefore been remiss in finishing the last of the series I started. I will do that within a day or two. In the brief time I've been away there have been major medical discoveries, the Internet went down for one side of the world, Blackberry stopped working for a time, Barack Obama is further ahead and Mike Huckabee is a worrisome nuisance for the presumptive nominee...
Nevada Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations
Posted on January 18, 2008I will get back to my three-part series on the Nevada jurisdictional question we were analyzing on Monday or Tuesday. First, though, since I've recently mentioned the insurance industry's fraud on the Nevada voters otherwise known as KODIN, I reprint below Nevada's highly restrictive statute of limitations...
Allstate Gets the Boot in Florida
Posted on January 18, 2008Here's a plug for Trial Guides at www.trialguides.com. The following interesting news comes from their enewsletter of today's date. This week, Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty announced that he is suspending Allstate Insurance companies from writing new insurance in Florida...
Does Nevada Have Jurisdiction? Part II
Posted on January 18, 2008This is the second part of what will be a three-part blog. See yesterday's blog for the issue that the following argument addresses: A. The Fiduciary Shield Doctrine Is Not Law In Nevada And Even If It Were It Would Not Preclude An Exercise Of Jurisdiction The fiduciary shield doctrine, a flawed legal theory that has generated confusion and countless inconsistent exceptions, provides that acts performed by an individual in his capacity as a corporate officer may not form the predicate for the exercise of jurisdiction over him as an individual...
Does Nevada Have Jurisdiction Over an Out of State Doctor Who Treats Nevada Patients Over the Internet?: Nevada Issue of First Impression
Posted on January 17, 2008ISSUE: Whether a doctor practicing medicine in Nevada remotely over the Internet, for a California medical group that contracts with a Nevada medical group to render medical services remotely over the Internet and contractually agrees to be bound by the laws of Nevada, is subject to the jurisdiction of the Nevada courts? This is the issue of first impression that presents itself in the context of an Answering Brief to a Writ of Prohibition that I'm getting ready to file in the Nevada Supreme Court...
Thorny Issues a Daily Staple in Nevada Medical Malpractice Cases
Posted on January 16, 2008Any attorney who works in medical malpractice law in Nevada (and there are fewer and fewer of us) knows that difficult issues arise every week. Many of these issues are presented by people who are searching for attorneys. A common issue, after the unfortunate passage of the so-called KODIN legislation, is whether the statute of limitations has run in a particular medical malpractice case...
Response Time in Cardiac Cases Slow
Posted on January 09, 2008According to a New York Times article dated January 3, 2008, in one out of three cases of cardiac arrests in hospitals, the staff takes too long to respond and increases the risk of brain damage and death in the patient. This study was based on 6,789 patients in 369 different hospitals whose hearts stopped but could have been resuscitated with an electric shock...
Be Safe on the Ice and Snow
Posted on January 08, 2008On January 4th, one of the worst storms in recent history hit the Sierra Nevadas, knocking out power, causing flooding and forcing people to evacuate their homes. The storm initially dropped roughly six to ten inches of rain, which turned to snow later on that evening...
Woman Dies in Dentist Chair
Posted on January 02, 2008Last week Georgette Watson, principal of Brentano Math and Science Academy in Chicago, died while undergoing a root canal in her dentist's chair. It wasn't the physical surgery that killed her, however. The blame is being placed upon her anesthesia, which put her in a state between unconsciousness and being awake, a state known as "twilight sedation...
Nevada Medical Board a Subject of Scrutiny
Posted on December 29, 2007As reported yesterday, the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners disciplined a record number of doctors at its last meeting. The Board has come under scrutiny in recent years for a variety of practices. In fact, according to a Reno Gazette Journal article dated December 12, 2007, our Nevada Board is one of the worst in the United States for disciplining doctors...
