A considerable number of General Practitioners, surgeons and other practicing medical specialists occasionally misdiagnose medical conditions causing devastating effect on patients’ lives. Many times that ends fatally with death. The question we have to answer is could that bring murder charges against physicians whose patients die.

In the Criminal law guilt is the psychical attitude of the intruder towards the crime. We distinguish two types of guilt: direct – when the perpetrator ...

Introduction

With respect to law of torts, any action carried out intentionally and that results in causing either physical or emotional injury to another person qualifies as an intentional tort. On the other hand, negligence tort entails causing harm or injury to a third party as a result of personal carelessness. According to Arthur and Barner (2007), civil law requires that every individual conduct his or her activities in a manner that induces no harm to surrounding persons. In this context, the need to conduct one’s affairs in a safe manner constitutes the element of duty. Failure to act safely and within expected ...

Question1

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

Does the Required Documentation Determine the Care a Hospice Nurse Will Provide

Notably, it is necessary for a hospice nurse to have the required documentation before attempting to provide any assistance. This is because hospice nurses practice nursing under the law. As a result, Kennedy (2008) states that all their actions and performance is guided by the policies and guidelines put in place by the law. Notably, any malfunction or accidents that happen during care are answerable in front of a jury. This means that damages incurred are liable to the practicing hospice nurse. Rice (2006) statuses that their employer insures the hospice nurse with the necessary documentation to a set amount meaning that a hospice ...

Intention and knowledge of a crime cannot be of the same type of mens-rea. For example, murder and culpable homicide are intentional and knowledge based respectively. The intention based mens rea places mental element of murder foremost as an intention to cause death. At a lesser degree is an intention to cause a specific bodily injury which the offender knows will cause death of the victim. This is almost the same as the mental element for murder as the offender knowingly causes the bodily injury that it can cause death. As such, the offender is liable to be convicted for murder.

Health professionals make decisions with legal and ethical consequences each day (Furlong, n. d.; Reamer, 2005). This paper will analyse the actions of health professionals in two case scenarios for their ethics and legality. The first case scenario involves a 12-year old boy who has terminal cancer and has accepted he is going to die. His parents have; however, having talked with the physician consented to a trial therapy which the nurse consequently administers. The second scenario involves a physician who admits to a nurse that he routinely prescribes antidepressant medication to new residents of a nursing home. He further instructs the nurse to ...

The aim of this study is to look at ethical dilemmas of staff nurses that often arise across a variety of work settings and how nurses resolve ethical dilemmas. Every nurse differs in educational preparation and experience. The impact of the dilemma can vary and influence decision-making, and the complexities caused by legalities often impact the nursing roles during the dilemmas. The role of self, support to patients and families, patient educator and communicator are necessary during the ethical dilemmas.

In the case of aeroplanes, they cannot be analogous to railways since the latter is excused when operating in accordance with statutory rules including accidents which occurred in level crossings ...

Medical profession has a broad spectrum of ethical and legal issues at a broader organizational level as well as at an individual level. While it is an individual who actually delivers the services, it is because of the brand that a patient goes in. Hence, it is logical to extend the responsibility of omissions and commissions from the individual caregiver to the organization also.

Negligence has serious connotations in any profession, but more so in the medical profession. A simple injection administered through the wrong route (for example, an IV (intra-venous) injection administered as an IM (intra-muscular) injection could result in severe ...

Question 1

Jurisdiction is a term used to define the powers of a court. Personal jurisdiction refers to the power of a given court to give judgments against a particular defendant while subject-matter jurisdiction refers to the power of a court to hear and make judgments on a particular type of case (Chao and Christine, 9). Parties to a contract have considerable freedom in formulating terms of a contract. This includes resolution of disputes arising from the contract. Minimum contract law can be used to determine if a court in one state has personal jurisdiction over a defendant from another state. The relevance of the minimum contract rule is that it ...

Let me start by briefly stating what the case is all about. In the case, Hussein, an owner of an apparently very attractive car, has been offered 4000 USD by Interjeet in exchange of his car. In other words, Interjeet wanted to buy Hussein’s car. Considering the average prices of automotive vehicles today, it would seem that 4000 USD is a steeply low price. As expected, Hussein did not give any word about Interjeet’s offer and has kept himself mum. He thought and felt that his car is worth more than what Interjeet has offered. Hussein did not ...

1. Explain the types of mistakes and the types of misrepresentation which can give rise to a court being required to interpret a contract. What remedies are appropriate to each type?

In the law of contracts, mistake refers to the belief in a set of facts or fact that is erroneous and, therefore, not available. Mistake often arises in relation to the conditions and terms of the contract. One or both of the parties to the contract may rely on a fact or set of facts as forming the conditions or terms of the contract. In circumstances where it is later obtained that the set of facts was erroneous, they are held as mistakes in contract. There are two broad categories of mistakes depending on the parties involved. In cases in which ...

Question One: Types of Mistakes and the Types of Misrepresentation

A mistake in contract law forms the basis of invalidating and rescinding a contract. It can be defined as a faulty action, belief or term in agreement when the contracting parties are drafting or engaging in the contract. There are two different types of mistake that have been identified in common law, which form the basis of argument requiring interpretation of the contract from the court. These mistakes include the unilateral mistake and the mutual mistake, which is also referred to as common mistake. Establishing that there was a mistake in the contract makes the court render the contact as void ab ...

This is the most suitable theory for the partners and the breach of contract. The breach of warranty highlights the damages which are available to the disappointed buyer when the specific seller has breached the article which explicitly stipulates the qualitative warranties. This implies that any buyer who unconditionally allows products that are nonconforming and who also follow the other conditions before he/she recovers the goods has the right to claim warranty.

Consequently, a breach of contract claim exists when the seller fails even to deliver the products when the need arise. This implies that in order ...

Lack of knowledge and negligence on the part of surgeons are the predominant factors for patients’ post-surgical trauma. However, a lawsuit against medical malpractice is one of the most difficult to win, let alone file, because of a multitude of agreements between the medical boards and practitioners. Signed agreements between the surgeon and the patient also determine the grounds for liability. The identification and description of liability theories for medical malpractice that apply may not necessarily be set in stone. To provide a strong and alleged case, the patient requires the following:

Placing a cap on “Pain and Suffering” in tort actions is essential; this is because there are many cases that arise from tort actions. Tort action is in itself a civil action or injury that does not arise from a contract. The law for such action provides for some outline of money damages. The actions arise from accidental laws like personal injury and negligence. This calls for a cap on the tort actions regarding pain and suffering. Reforms are needed, for proposals and enactment, to have a clear outset of the nature of tort actions.

It is common for people, especially those opting for prison-related jobs, to perceive the prison as one of the most high-risk places. Such assumptions overlook the fact that compared to the number of prison wardens who die in a year, the number of prisoners who die in prisons is far much higher. It is disheartening to note that a significant percentage of these deaths are far from natural but are rather directly linked to medical neglect, sexual assaults, gang violence, and lack of rehabilitation in prisons among other causes, all of which being preventable causes. These deaths have always taken a plethora ...

One of the main reasons a doctor is often blamed for is medical malpractice.

Once a patient can establish that medical negligence had led to injury, the court calculates the compensation that the doctor should pay, based on the economic and noneconomic losses of the patient. Economic losses include the income the patient has lost due to a ...
