Hindi. What Are the TCPA’s Quiet Hours Restrictions?

We trust doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals with our lives, but what happens when that trust is broken by a preventable mistake? While not every negative medical outcome is grounds for a lawsuit, some errors cross the line into medical malpractice. This legal term can have profound implications for both patients and providers. In this post, we’ll explain what legally qualifies as medical malpractice, how it differs from general medical mistakes, and what you can do if you or a loved one has been harmed by negligent care. ⚖️ What Is Medical Malpractice?

To have a valid malpractice case, four legal elements must generally be proven: Duty – The medical provider had a legal obligation to treat the patient.

Dennis J. Wieboldt III (University of Notre Dame) has posted Our Natural Law Moment(s) (Georgetown Journal of Law and Public Policy (forthcoming)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: To both its sharpest critics and strongest proponents, natural law increasingly appears to be enjoying a "moment" in American legal discourse. The 2024 Herbert W. Vaughan Lecture at Harvard Law School, in fact, took as its subject "The Natural Law Moment in Constitutional Theory." Following the publication of Adrian Vermeule's Common Good Constitutionalism, among other works on natural law in the last half-decade, Alicea's 2024 Vaughan Lecture raises two important questions for those interested in the United States' contemporary jurisprudential debates: is there something unique about today's natural law moment, and, if so, what might understanding previous natural law moment(s) portend for contemporary debates about natural law? This Article assumes the…

["Unsealing the May 6 Order is essential for the public to see the government's overreach in searching cellphones without probable cause and [is essential for] publishing precedent as courts unpack future such requests."] From the introduction and conclusion of a decision by Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui (D.D.C.) in In re: Search of One Device and Two Individuals (decided last week but just released Wednesday): The government has moved to seal seemingly forever an order of the Court. But this is the Court's order, not the Executive's order. So the Court, not the Executive, decides unsealing. For the reasons stated below, the Court DENIES the government's attempt to muzzle the Court…. No secret courts. This means no forever sealed judicial decisions—including warrants—as they are the foundation for secret courts. Without visibility, the public cannot hold courts or the government accountable. The Framers knew this. Thomas Jefferson…

A group of UN human rights experts on Thursday urged the Belarusian government to stop targeting independent trade unions and comply with international labour standards. The experts — a group of five Special Rapporteurs — called on Belarus to cooperate with the UN and the International Labour Organization (ILO) to protect the rights of trade union leaders and members: Belarus must end the repression of independent trade unionists, who are also recognised as human rights defenders. The country must immediately release all trade union leaders and members imprisoned for exercising their right to freedom of expression, assembly and association. According to the experts, Belarus has shut down independent unions, labeled them “extremist organizations” and prosecuted members under national security laws. Some unionists have been jailed or forced into exile, while others face trial in their absence. The group also cited reports of mistreatment and lack of…

Syracuse presents its own set of serious traffic safety challenges. The city is dealing with aging infrastructure that wasn't built to handle modern traffic volumes, ongoing highway reconstruction that disrupts normal traffic patterns, and roads that are deteriorating faster than they can be repaired. In fact, more than 18% of Syracuse's nearly 400 miles of road are rated in poor or very poor condition, meaning they have significant surface problems that can affect vehicle control and increase the likelihood of accidents.

The advocate general of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) said Hungary infringed European law by restricting access to LGBTQ+ content in an advisory opinion published Thursday. Tamara Ćapeta stated that Hungary has deviated from the EU’s values and recommended the CJEU find that the nation infringed Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union (TEU): The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. These values are common to the Member States in a society in which pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men prevail. In 2021, the Hungarian government introduced legislative amendments that prohibited and restricted LGBTQ+ content that “portrays or promotes gender identities that do not correspond to the sex assigned at birth, sex reassignment or…

One critical aspect of a car accident claim that sometimes gets overlooked is the statute of limitations. This legal framework sets the deadline for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in New Jersey’s courts following an accident. Currently, the statute of limitations for a NJ car accident is two years from the date of the injury. This means that if you have been injured in a car accident, you have two years to file a lawsuit against the party at fault. Failing to file within this timeframe results in the loss of your right to seek legal recourse for any damages suffered. In addition to a claim for personal injuries, a claim for property damage arising out of a motor vehicle accident also carries with it a statute of limitations. However, that statute of limitations is six years. If you have been in a car accident, it is important to act quickly. Delaying could prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve. Consult with a lawyer as soon as…

The moment after a crash, it is one of the first questions to start creeping in: Was the car accident my fault? In New Jersey, the answer is not always black and white. Under the state’s comparative negligence system, multiple drivers can share fault, and some may still be able to recover compensation. In this post, we will explain how New Jersey’s comparative negligence law works and what it means for your car accident claim. If you are worried whether being “a little at fault” disqualifies you from a claim, that is where a good attorney comes in. At Petro Cohen, we examine every angle, reconstruct the facts, and fight for fair outcomes. Partial fault does not have to mean partial justice. What Does Comparative Negligence Mean When It Comes to New Jersey Car Accident Liability? New Jersey’s legal system allows injured drivers to recover damages even when they share car accident liability—at least, up to a point. Under New…
