NEGLIGENCE

Health care providers owe you a duty of care, meaning there are certain standards they must follow. The standards vary depending on where you live, what type of facility you are at, and what type of provider caused your injury. But, if the standards are violated, it’s considered negligence.

You’ll also have to prove damages in order to win a medical malpractice case, which means you will have to show – in dollars – the extent of your harm. Damages for pain and suffering may be available, as well. If someone dies as the result of medical malpractice, a wrongful death lawsuit might be appropriate. An initial consultation with an attorney is a great way to get your questions answered.

Not every medical injury is a lawsuit. If you have minor injury, it’s probably not worth that much, legally speaking. An attorney is going to shy away from taking on the expense of pursuing a small case. Similarly, if you experience a bad result, from surgery for example, it’s not automatically medical malpractice. If your surgeon followed protocol and acted reasonably, they may not be legally responsible for your injury.

FINDING THE RIGHT MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY

EXPERIENCE

When looking for a medical malpractice attorney, experience is important. You want an attorney who has years of experience handling cases similar to yours. You also want an attorney who has had success doing so. The resources of an attorney or firm should be a consideration as well. Medical malpractice lawsuits can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. Your attorney should have the resources to cover all these costs.

COSTS

Medical malpractice attorneys, like most injury attorneys, charge on a contingency basis. If you win, you pay your attorney a percentage. If you lose, you pay nothing. The laws vary by state, but there are strict deadlines on filing lawsuits for medical malpractice. These are called statutes of limitation, and if you miss it, you probably won’t get another chance.
