- Medical MalpracticeMedical malpractice is a serious issue in the United States. The law states that doctors are held to a higher standard of care when practicing medicine than the ordinary reasonable care owed by a lay person in conducting his or her daily affairs. This is most likely because doctors’ patients are very vulnerable when seeking doctors’ opinions. As a result, when a doctor fails to maintain this heightened standard of care, the consequences can be disastrous. At Scott & Wallace, we handle medical malpractice cases for our clients. The legal profession serves as a check on accountability in the medical profession, and Scott & Wallace is here to represent your interests in the event that you are harmed by your medical provider.

- Dog BitesDog owners in Florida and Georgia have a duty to prevent their dogs from causing harm to other people. In fact, when a dog causes injuries to a person, Florida courts automatically impose liability, and the plaintiff must only prove that the dog bite or attack was unprovoked, that it caused the plaintiff’s injuries and the amount of plaintiff’s damages. In Georgia, the dog owner must have some knowledge that the dog has dangerous propensities. But evidence that the dog was lunging, growling, or knipping before a bite or attack in front of its owner, even if only moments before the bite or attack, is likley enough to prove knowledge.
