Med-Legal Corner

PUSH as Rx Med-Legal Corner. Medical law is a branch of law that concerns the prerogatives and responsibilities of medical professionals and the patient’s rights. It should not be confused with medical jurisprudence, a branch of medicine rather than a branch of law. The main branches of medical law are the law of torts (most notably medical malpractice) and criminal law concerning medical practice and treatment.

In the Med-legal corner, Dr. Jimenez knows the ins and out’s of what goes into personal and work injury claims. Ethics and medical practice are growing after working in chiropractic for 30+ years, especially in personal and work injuries. Receiving chiropractic care from a personal injury doctor after suffering an injury can be a lifesaver as a personal injury chiropractor has attended post-graduate training in accident injury evaluation and treatment, which can guarantee a more effective diagnosis and care.

A bonus is that the chiropractor can do depositions and testify in court. A personal injury doctor works closely with multiple attorneys. The best chiropractors maintain a list of attorneys they know can deliver quality results to their patients in a car accident and personal injury cases. A doctor that has connections with more than one attorney offers a wide variety of experienced personal injury claim professionals to choose from, who can better accommodate you to solve your specific case after an accident.
