Pick the Low Hanging (Easiest) Fruit

Our office recently was approached by the estate of a 46-year-old married and employed mother of one to possibly pursue a complex medical malpractice case against two major trauma center hospitals in adjoining states and their doctors as a result of complications from a motor vehicle accident. 

The injured plaintiff employed one of the largest legal advertising law firms in Hamilton County based on their exposure in the media although they did not even have a satellite office in the location where the accident occurred.  The law firm settled the automobile accident taking their fee off the top and declined to accept employment or even investigate the malpractice case.  

The damages consisted of over 1 million dollars in projected loss wages plus over 1 million dollars in medical bills at the time she died of an infection in one of her legs.  The photos presented to us showed horrible complications that the injured lady suffered after being placed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) continuously from her admission to a hospital in Tennessee and transferred to a hospital in another state where she died a horrible death.  

This case is just one of many that we have been privy to when approached by the injured or relatives of the deceased individuals that have been represented by media lawyer advertisers.  They take the settlement in the easy case (often at a reduced actual value), incur little investigation expense, and refuse to pursue any complicated case that might necessitate spending money out of their large media advertising budget that attracts clients.  

Is this deceptive advertising?
