La Jolla, Newport Beach and Palm Springs California Psychotherapist Malpractice Defense Lawyer Discusses Psychotherapist Claims and Defense
March 24, 2008 by
Filed under National, State, Local |
R. Sebastian Gibson asked:
People are starting to talk more about depression. Depression as a possibility of where the economies of the world could be taking us, and depression as a state of mind. With the global economic slowdown and the stock market crashing day after day taking away the savings and jobs of thousands of people in California and around the world each week, more and more people are becoming depressed and turning to psychotherapists for help.
It doesn’t matter where you live in California, whether it is in Palm Desert, Laguna Beach, San Diego, CA, Orange County, Santa Barbara, Palos Verdes, Anaheim, Buena Park, Corona del Mar, Palm Springs, Temecula, Indian Wells, in Ventura, Carlsbad, Rancho Santa Fe, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Newport Coast, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, help from a psychotherapist may be needed by all of us if this worldwide economic crisis becomes much worse.
Mental health professionals can commit malpractice or fail to meet the standard of care in a number of situations. However, they are accused in many more in which there is no malpractice and where they do meet the standard of care.
The type of situation in which psychotherapists most clearly commit malpractice is where the mental health professional enters into a sexual relationship with the patient while the patient is still under their care. Unfortunately this claim is made by patients more times than it is true.
A psychotherapist owes a patient a duty to use reasonable care in the treatment of that patient. When the psychotherapist breaches that duty and acts negligently or intentionally harms that patient, the psychotherapist is liable for damages, which under California law, can be extensive.
A psychotherapist can reduce their chances of being sued for malpractice and reduce the chance of being found liable if they are sued by documenting and exercising good judgment when treating their patients.
Another pitfall for the therapist is where therapists enter into business relationships with former or current patients. The theory behind why such relationships should be avoided at all cost is the unequal bargaining power between the patient and the therapist once a therapeutic relationship has been established.
Using a technique without proper training is also a ripe area for malpractice. It can also be a problem if the psychotherapist has failed to obtain an adequate history, when the psychotherapist has out of office contact with the patient, and when he or she fails to obtain peer consultation.
A malpractice case can be brought against a psychotherapist for violating the standard of care and negligently diagnosing or treating a patient. A psychotherapist must also maintain a boundary with his or her patient. When a psychotherapist breaches that boundary by having a sexual, social, business or personal relationship, hugs a patient for more than a few seconds, or has other physical contact other than a handshake, there can be allegations of malpractice.
If you are a psychotherapist and are under investigation by your state board for complaints and accusations or malpractice suits, speak to a mental health malpractice attorney as soon as possible.
Patients in psychotherapist malpractice cases who are successful can recover damages for past and future medical treatment, past and future wage loss, and pain and suffering both past and future. It is the future medical care of an abused patient that can run into the many hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.
If you are a psychotherapist and need legal defense, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Newport Beach Psychotherapist Lawyers, and Palm Desert Psychotherapy Attorneys. For this reason, be sure to hire a California law firm withpsychotherapist defenselawyers who can represent you from Palm Springs, Rancho Cucamonga, Orange County, San Luis Obispo, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, Corona del Mar, Anaheim, Irvine, La Jolla, Santa Barbara, Temecula, Palm Desert, Yorba Linda, Carlsbad, San Diego, Costa Mesa, Westminster, and Murrieta, to Indian Wells and La Quinta.

A Palm Springs Newport Beach Orange County California Swimming Pool Accident Attorney Guide to Swimming Pool and Drowning Prevention and Saving Lives
March 21, 2008 by
Filed under Personal Injury |
R. Sebastian Gibson asked:
If you or a member of your family has been seriously injured in a swimming pool accident in La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Riverside, Newport Beach or Santa Ana, Fullerton or Yorba Linda, or if you’ve lost a loved one in a swimming pool drowning as a result of the negligence of another in Riverside, San Bernardino, Chula Vista, Moreno Valley, Palmdale or El Cajon, you may be wondering what steps you should take to provide care or to seek compensation for your injuries or loss. But more important than that, is getting the medical care you need and quickly.
Whether the swimming pool accident occurred in San Diego, Orange County, Anaheim, Irvine, Newport Beach, the Inland Empire cities like Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Temecula or Palm Springs and Palm Desert, yes, you should contact an attorney before vital evidence is lost, but you may need medical care even more vitally, even if you think you feel fine.
Drownings don’t just occur to kids and they don’t happen just in swimming pools. A very small amount of water can be fatal to a small child. And an adult or a child who has had a near-drowning can still suffer brain damage, respiratory damage or death hours later.
Depending on the research you read, or the ages involved, drowning is from the fourth to the first cause of deaths to children. For children under the age of 14, drowning in swimming pools is the leading cause of death. Other studies put drowning fourth after guns, car accidents and burns for the leading cause of unnatural death of all children. The fact is, more people die in swimming pool drownings than any other type of activity.
A child however can drown in a beer cooler, a fish pond, other water features, Jacuzzi, toilet, water bowl, stream, river, drain and any other place where their head can be in the water.Because of their disproportionate weight of their heads, a toddler can fall into water and find it difficult to lift their head or their body so they can breathe.
A condition not often discussed is near-drowning or dry-drowning. This can occur hours after a person has nearly suffocated in water and with a build-up of water in their lungs, they can die after walking around and talking and performing other activities.
For every child that drowns, five are left with permanent brain damage or damage to their respiratory system.
So what can be done to prevent drownings? Vigilance is the word, whenever children are around water. Keep gates to pools closed and locked, and whenever possible keep covers on pools. Many people are unaware of electronic splash sensors that can be employed to sound an alarm whenever a splash is detected. And take a CPR course or take a refresher course.
Never try to rescue someone if it would endanger your life. Call for help. If the person is not breathing but has a pulse, perform the Heimlich maneuver first and quickly to clear the airway (though some would say skip this step and proceed to the next) and then begin mouth to mouth breathing immediately. If the person starts to breathe again, they will likely need to vomit. Place the person on their side with their head lower than their torso so the airway can be cleared. If there is no pulse, you should still perform CPR. Keep the person warm. Call 911 at your earliest possible moment. And if a person has nearly drowned take them to an emergency room even if they appear to have completely recovered.
If you or someone you know has been seriously injured in a personal injury accident or drowning in Orange County, San Diego, in Riverside, Palm Springs or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your California Swimming Pool Accident Lawyers, and Orange County and San Diego Drowning Accident Attorneys. For this reason, be sure to hire a California law firm with personal injury lawyers who can represent you from La Quinta to Corona del Mar, Coachella, Hesperia, Garden Grove, Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Victorville, Carlsbad and San Bernardino to Long Beach and Santa Barbara.

Sebastian Gibson, or visit our website athttp://www.sebastiangibsonlaw.com and learn more about how we obtain great personal injury settlements from insurance companies.

Huntington Beach Auto Accident Attorney’s Top Ten Things not to Say After a Car Accident
March 19, 2008 by
Filed under Personal Injury |
R. Sebastian Gibson asked:
1) Ive never seen a doctor in my life. Except for those guys in rehab.
2) I didnt leave the scene of the accident. I just needed a drink to calm down.
3) I dont know where all those beer cans in my car came from. Maybe the police were trying to frame me like they did to OJ.
4) I have no friggin idea how fast the speed limit is at the scene, but Im sure I was exceeding it.
5) I was weaving to avoid a pack of wild dogs.
6) Youve heard about the elephant sitting in the middle of the room? Well there was a herd of elephants on the freeway.
7) And just why wouldnt it be safe to do eighty on the freeway in the rain?
Whats the importance of keeping your tires inflated? Doesnt that just take more air?
9) Well of course I ran out of gas. Its expensive enough, isnt it?
10) I cant think of a good reason why I ran the red light. Can you, dude?
Here are ten actual tips of advice from an auto accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a personal injury in Huntington Beach, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learning how we can assist you.
Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it may have been a few hours since the accident. However, if you ever have another accident, or if its only been a few hours since you were hurt, heres what you should do from the start.
First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, its just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.
Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.
Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didnt know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other drivers information including their names, addresses, drivers license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.
Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you arent too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you cant do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.
Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Dont decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, dont get treatment you dont need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.
Seventh, call a good auto accident attorney as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the lawyer can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good auto accident attorney can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an lawyer, think again. A good auto accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most auto accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.
Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other drivers insurance company, its good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Dont agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.
Tenth, dont pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you werent at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.
If youve had an auto accident in Orange County, Newport Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, costa Mesa, Westminster, Buena Park, Mission Viejo, Garden Grove, Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, Chino Hills, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Newport Beach Auto Accident Lawyer and your Huntington Beach Auto Accident Attorney. Be sure to hire a California law firm with auto, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, car, bus, train, boat and airplane accident experience, wrongful death experience and insurance law expertise who can ensure you are properly represented and get the compensation you deserve.
If you have a personal injury legal matter, a dog bite or if youve lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, call the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson, or visit our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learn how we can assist you.

Newport Coast Bicycle Accident Lawyer’s Top Ten Excuses for not Getting Medical Treatment After a Bicycle Accident
March 16, 2008 by
Filed under Personal Injury |
R. Sebastian Gibson asked:
1. Its just a bicycle accident.
2. The truck that hit me was only an eight wheeler.
3. Its not like I broke my back.
4. The pain is bearable.
5. Im better today than I was yesterday.
6. You should see my bicycle if you think I look bad.
7. Im tough.
8. What are they going to do for me if I do see a doctor?
9. Im taking vitamins.
10. I cant miss work.
Here are ten useful tips of advice from a bicycle accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a bicycle accident in Newport Coast, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and learning how we can assist you.
Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, its probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if its only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, heres what you should do the next time from the start.
First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, its just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.
Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.
Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didnt know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other drivers information including their names, addresses, drivers license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.
Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you arent too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you cant do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.
Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Dont decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, dont get treatment you dont need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.
Seventh, call a good bicycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good bicycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good bicycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most bicycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.
Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other drivers insurance company, its good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Dont agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.
Tenth, dont pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you werent at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.
If youve had a bicycle accident in Newport Coast, Orange County, Yorba Linda, Tustin, Lake Forest, Fountain Valley, Rancho Santa Margarita, Newport Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Costa Mesa, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Newport Coast Bicycle Accident Lawyer and your Newport Beach Bicycle Accident Attorney. Be sure to hire a California law firm with auto, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, car, bus, train, boat and airplane accident experience, wrongful death experience and insurance law expertise who can ensure you are properly represented and get the compensation you deserve.
