In medical malpractice cases there is a very common defense excuse in vogue. The medical practitioners either claim that the injury was present earlier. Medical practitioners are particularly at an advantage in case of medical malpractice lawsuits. This is because in many states the Emergency Room medical personnel are immune to any type of medical malpractice claims.

Palm Beach has a national croquet centre. Although this game is not at all rough like rugby but it has its own set of injuries. According to a finding published in Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine (Volume-90, year-1997) by D. R. Appleton, there have been common types of injuries related to this game mainly as result of getting hit by a mallet. It is basically a picturesque sea front city. The city is dependent on the tourism and sports. The traffic map provided by the Palm Beach Post shows that in spite of high speed there are minor accidents. There are very small numbers of medical facilities too unlike big cities like New York. As a result medical malpractice cases are also bound to be small.
