Abstract:

Objective: There is little known about the medico-legal risk for infectious disease specialists in Canada. The objective of this study was to identify the causes of these medico-legal risks with the goal of improving patient safety and outcomes. Methods: A 10-year retrospective analysis of Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) closed medico-legal cases from 2012 to 2021 was performed. Peer expert criticism was used to identify factors that contributed to the medico-legal cases at the provider, team, or system level, and were contrasted with the patient complaint.

Abstract:

Medical professionals around the world are encountering medico-legal issues in their daily practices. This is particularly problematic as patients or consumers are becoming increasingly aware of their rights. The term "medico-legal" refers to the intersection of two professions: medicine and law. It encompasses the legal and ethical duties of physicians as well as the medico-legal assessment of patients to ensure the smooth functioning of society. The consequences of an uninformed doctor making a mistake can be severe. Therefore, it is imperative that medical professionals have a thorough unde

Abstract:

We describe our misgivings concerning the use of transcripts of covert recordings of medico-legal assessments made by claimants as evidence in actions for compensation for personal injury. These recordings raise issues of lack of trust between the claimant and the medical expert, leading to bias in the consultation that is hidden from the medical expert. In addition, there is a risk of widespread dissemination of the recording through social media to the detriment of the reputation of the medical expert, and likely interference with the probity of the court hearing. We argue that the claimant

Abstract Ageing of the global population represents a challenge for national healthcare systems and healthcare professionals, including medico-legal experts, who assess personal damage in an increasing number of older people. Personal damage evaluation in older people is complex, and the scarcity of evidence is hindering the development of formal guidelines on the subject. The main objectives of the first multidisciplinary Consensus Conference on Medico-Legal Assessment of Personal Damage in Older People were to increase knowledge on the subject and establish standard procedures in this field.

Injury outcomes seem to be more severe in older than younger persons. This may make personal injury assessment (PIA) particularly difficult, mainly because of seniors’ previous health frailties.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Some sudden cardiac deaths are known to be induced by acute emotional stress and if triggered by criminal activity are referred to as ‘homicidal heart attack’ or ‘murder by heart attack’. These pose as challenging medico-legal cases, where determination of cause and manner of death are crucial for further investigations. We report three such cases encountered in a recent 2-year assessment of medico-legal autopsy tissues sent for histopathological examination following physical assault and caused by thrombotic coronary artery disease.

Abstract:

Four hundred adult claimants underwent medico-legal assessment following upper limb injuries. Dynamometry was performed on each using the Jamar five handle-position test. Injury causes loss of power and there is a significant relationship between the percentage loss of power and the measured whole limb impairment. This paper presents a new approach for the analysis of the tests.

This paper provides normative data
