Do I Have A Lawsuit?

One of the most misunderstood case types in the American legal system is the process and execution of the lawsuit and what exactly constitutes the basis for a lawsuit. We are often asked questions such as  can I sue my doctor and  who do I sue after a car accident or what exactly is medical malpractice. Often times readers will even ask questions related to slip and fall accidents or drug and manufacturer recall injuries.

BOSTON (Reuters) - Apple Inc is the target of a lawsuit that claims a technology the iPhone uses to surf the Web infringes on a patent filed by Los Angeles real estate developer Elliot Gottfurcht and two co-inventors.

The lawsuit was filed by EMG Technology LLC on Monday in the U.S. District Court in Tyler, Texas. EMG was founded by Gottfurcht, is based in Los Angeles with an office in Tyler, and has just one employee.

The suit alleges that the technology the iPhone uses to navigate and display some websites designed for small phone screens infringes on a patent obtained last month by Gottfurcht and his co-inventors and assigned to EMG.

When patients visit a licensed doctor, they expect that they will be treated using the very best and safest in medical and pharmaceutical technology. Most people would never dream that the drugs they are prescribed to treat a simple urinary tract infection or bronchitis could create crippling and lifelong side effects or permanent imjuries. However, with the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotic which includes the commonly prescribed drugs Cipro and Levaquin, more and more disastrous side effects are being reported. This is one powerful example of the treatment being worse than the cure, a story that unfortunately is not uncommon in modern medicine, and is often times the basis for class action lawsuits by attorneys related to drug recall injuries.

Dr. Roman Hasil was hardly a favorite at Wanganui Hospital. The doctor was known for being brusque and less than unprofessional, and many people suspected that he drank while on the job. Even so, hospital administration and government officials were shocked by the ten completely unrelated complaints from his patients after just one year of employment at the hospital as concerns mounted that a malpractice lawsuit would soon be filed against him.
