Medical malpractice cases are complicated because they involve both legal and medical expertise; they are time consuming because they require gathering medical documents and interviewing medical experts. A medical malpractice lawyer must have personal injury skills as well as contacts and familiarity with medical experts who can be interviewed and retained as expert witnesses. When you or a loved one is harmed by the negligence of a medical provider, you need the help of a great medical malpractice lawyer to navigate the case through your state’s procedural hoops and fight for justice and damages on your behalf. The question is: how do I know what to look for in a medical malpractice lawyer?
The first thing you will want to do is gather a list of local medical malpractice lawyers who represent plaintiffs. A plaintiff’s medical malpractice lawyer represents injured victims while a defendant’s medical malpractice lawyer represents health care providers against medical malpractice lawsuits.
Next you will want to pare the list down to one or two top choices.
Once you have narrowed your list to one to three candidates, contact them by phone or through their firm’s website contact form. You should seek the following information in your communication:
