You have suffered significant injuries because of the wrongdoing of a doctor or hospital staff and you are planning to start in stage one in the medical malpractice lawsuit process. However, before you enter stage one, you might be wondering if publicity is going to be good or bad for your case.
Just because you have suffered significant injuries because of the negligence of a doctor and filed a medical malpractice case, you need not have a negative outlook on your life. Many victims easily succumb to depression and start believing that their disabilities are going to ruin their lives.
When you have filed a personal injury case, the defense will usually hire a doctor to conduct an “independent” medical examination of your injuries. This examination is done to see if your injuries are indeed what you are claiming them to be. However, there is nothing independent about this medical examination by the defense.
You have decided to hire an attorney for your medical malpractice situation in New York. Additionally, you decide to “friend” this attorney on Facebook, and begin to private message him as a means of communication. Now, the defense asks for access to your Facebook page. Does this mean your private messages will become public?
