Andrew C. Meyer, Jr. in Today's Boston Globe

Today's Boston Globe carries news of another settlement by Boston medical malpractice attorney Andrew C. Meyer, Jr. This time a wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of a family whose mother fell from an operating table following her hip surgery. The case was to go to trial tomorrow. In the article, Meyer demonstrates the value of medical malpractice law in exposing problems in the health care system and helping to fix them. Said Meyer,

“The settlement was a recognition of the kind of mistakes that happen all too often in our hospitals. It’s gratifying to see that the family was able to receive exposure for this horrific event — and not to sweep it under the rug — to ensure that policies are changed so that this will not happen again.’’

The Globe reporter also wrote that:

The state Department of Public Health investigated the case in November 2007, determining that the fall led to O’Donnell’s death, and cited deficiencies in procedure. The hospital’s own analysis found that the operating room staff was busy or preoccupied and that the safety belt’s removal was not verbally communicated..."

A little design goes a long way...

Here's a fun project I did for law firm Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell. They wanted to publish information on NH's "green" initiatives and make it standout on their web site. So, Infoworks! created a nifty PDF brochure that presented the information with style, while avoiding the cost and environmental impact of printing. Given the "green" nature of the piece it was the perfect solution. The brochure is offered as a download from their website at gcglaw.com and includes an offer for a free, enviro-friendly, reusable, cotton shopping tote. Get one while they last!

Busy, Busy...

I've been too busy with other web sites and blogs to tend to my own. (Shame on me.). Here's a brief rundown on what I've been up to lately to bring this blog up to date.

As usual, I do continue to blog at Amy Campbell's Web Log, primarily on law firm marketing bits, so check there for more blogging goodness.

At the start of 2007, I went live with a beautiful new web site for business law firm Morse, Barnes-Brown & Pendleton. Check it out, it's a definite portfolio piece. The site was the culmination of the firm's rebranding. I assisted on that as well. Great firm. Nice people! I did a similar thing in a smaller way with Boston trademark attorneys Samuels & Hiebert.

The other big news is the launch of Legal Marketing Reader. This is a web site I developed just for the hell of it. OK, not really. I created the site (with help from Fierce Frontiers) to perform a little automated magic -- it grabs the RSS headline feeds of the top law firm marketing bloggers (that I have hand selected) and presents their most recent posts on a one-page dashboard. The end result is a free and handy tool for keeping up with news on the legal marketing front. Check it out at: legalmarketingreader.com. The other reason I developed it was to demonstrate my own information-of-value marketing philosophy. If you build it, they will come.

And I've been busy with other web site maintenance chores, search engine optimization tasks, took in all day seminar on Google Adword (pay-per-click adversing) and have stayed busy resurrecting Law Links | Health Links, and starting Medical Malpractice Law Blog.

Stay tuned. More to announce soon...

Law Firm Web Site: Be All You Can Be

Already have a law firm web site, but think it's time to improve it?  A good place to start is a web site content audit like the one I recently performed for The Young Firm, a New Orleans personal injury law firm that specialized in maritime law. Think web sites don't win clients in a professional services world? It's been working for me. 2006 has shown a siginificant increase in new business leads generated via my web site and resulting in new work. Is your web site all it can be?
