In addition to attending
and graduating from Law School and being admitted to the
Bars listed in the Banner on this website, Joel B. Kornberg,
M.D., J.D. attended and graduated from Medical School and
became licensed in Florida (and New York) as a Medical
Doctor and practiced as an Emergency Room Physician for more
than 20 years in Florida.
Thus,
Joel B. Kornberg, M.D., J.D. is able to comprehensively
understand many important facts about health care, medicine
and hospital facilities that may be quite useful in a
potential Medical Malpractice Claim:
-
Knowledge as a Medical
Doctor (M.D.) helps in our analysis and ongoing
preparation/consultation for your Medical Malpractice
Claim; and, helps to identify the Legal and
Medicine/HealthCare factors involved or potentially
involved. The Medical Malpractice Case, of course, has
as it's subject matter Medicine, Health Care,
Physicians, other HealthCare Professionals and Health
Care Facilities.
-
An Attorney with practice experience as a
Physician often has great familiarity with
Medicine/HealthCare, the technical aspects of processes
and procedures, medical records (charts), and of the
People who work within that system. After all, we have
worked in Medicine/Health Care for many years. There are
often many pages of medical records to review.
-
A Lawyer and Physician
(M.D.) can use the Medical/Health Care knowledge to help
formulate questions and interrogatories, especially for
Doctors and other Health Care providers, due to our
familiarity with the Medicine/Health Care system, people
and environment. The same ability applies to preparation
for and attendance at depositions, hearings and trials;
and, in particular, in situations involving a
Physician/HealthCare professional or other persons
involved in the HealthCare system.
-
As a Lawyer who
is also a Doctor (M.D.), we have the ability to conduct
sophisticated medical discussions with expert witnesses
(Physicians and other Health Care providers) and the
treating physicians. As an Attorney and Physician we may
be able to "hear" what is not said by those physicians
due to our familiarity with the Medicine/Health Care
system, people and environment and sort out fiction from
fact.
-
Due to the above, we
may be able to break through the "smokescreens" used by
certain witnesses/parties to reveal critical factors in
the case. As a Lawyer and a Doctor, we have an
understanding of Medicine/HealthCare environment,
systems, people, settings and the way things work
- As an Attorney who is
also a Medical Doctor (M.D.), we are able, due to our
Medical knowledge, to recognize the totality of a
person's injuries/damages and their effects: past,
present and future, and discuss this with experts.
Thus, Joel
Kornberg, M.D., J.D., P.A., as an Attorney and Physician,
does have knowledge of the Law and of Medicine/Health Care.
This Medical Knowledge is of great value in a Medical
Malpractice Claim.
