Sometimes the mistake is with the pharmacy and other times it is with the doctor or his office.  Figuring this out can often be puzzling and it is essential that you obtain an attorney who is experienced in such matters.

The mere fact that you have had a terrible reaction to a prescription does not guarantee a successful claim.  Many modern day medications have known side-effects.  Some of these side-effects only occur in a very small group of people.  Analyzing such a claim requires an attorney sophisticated in such matters. 

You may or may not have a claim.  An analysis of this question will require a focus on the circumstances under which you were prescribed the medication, the dosage you were prescribed, whether or not you have other prescriptions or health factors which would make this prescription ill advised and a host of other considerations.  It is important that you consult a lawyer experienced in such cases so that a proper analysis to present your claim can be made.

Generally speaking, if you are riding an Amtrak train the claim should be made against Amtrak, if you are riding a Metro or MARC train against Metro or MARC, and if you are riding a Metro bus against Metro.  Each of these entities is owned or operated by governmental authorities, and the rules for making claims against them are quite specific and consequently the need for an attorney experienced in making such claims is important.  Please contact Clark & Steinhorn if you have such a claim.

These claims require detailed investigation in order to determine how best to pursue your claim.  Even if it appears that the conduct of the bus driver was appropriate from your observation, it may well be that their violation of Metro rules and regulations or ordinary rules of the road would permit you to make a successful claim against Metro.  Such cases require a timely and thoughtful analysis in order to be pursued properly.

As in all such injury cases, the insurance companies and transit companies try and get out ahead of claims in order to minimize the amount that they pay for such claims.  Unless you have experience pursuing these claims, it is very difficult to accurately understand what fair compensation should be.  Further, there are often deadlines and notification requirements for claims against governmental and quasi-governmental entities.  Failure to make appropriate notification of the right entity can take away your ability to make any claim.  It is important to contact an attorney who is experienced in such matters to ensure that all proper notifications are made.

Train derailments while infrequent cause many injuries.  As a consequence, detailed investigations are performed of such things by the appropriate governmental authorities.  Accessing this information and participating in the investigation can be a valuable tool in assisting your attorney in developing your claim.
