Medical malpractice

It is important to realize that not all lawyers are the same when it comes to specific practice areas of personal injury matters. Medical malpractice cases are not easy from a number of perspectives. It is likely that you have read about victims of medical malpractice who have won millions of dollars in a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, it is important to note that such big wins are few and far between. One article states that, “trends show that less than a quarter of all medical malpractice victims who take their cases to trial win anything”. This article will discuss and explain how the right medical malpractice lawyer can make all the difference to the outcome of your case.

When asked about the importance of having a medical malpractice lawyer for a medical malpractice case one attorney from the Crowson Law Group stated that, “in law, as a medical or any other field, you usually want someone who has focuses solely on the type of case you have and who has lots of experience handling such matters. Hiring the wrong attorney will make winning a medical malpractice case very hard. The chances of winning a case are so low, and you only get one chance to present your case to the insurer and to a jury; therefore, you need a lawyer who has the best chance of getting the best possible outcome”. With respect to medical practice, the most important thing a malpractice victim can do to get satisfactory compensation is to find an experienced medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible.

There are four important reasons why it is important to make sure that you have an experienced medical malpractice lawyer rather than a traditional personal injury lawyer. These reasons are:

1.Medical malpractice cases generally involve medical issues that are far more complex than the issues arising in most personal injury cases - most ordinary personal injury lawyers deal with injuries such as soft tissue injuries, broken bones, other types of orthopedic injuries, etc. Conversely, medical malpractice cases can involve damage to any part of the body, however, medical malpractice lawyers are generally more experienced at bringing themselves up to speed on tricky non-orthopedic injuries

2.Medical malpractice insurers tend not to respect plaintiff’s lawyers who are not medical malpractice lawyers - such disrespect may be manifest at settlement time and only an experienced medical malpractice lawyer can convince insurers to pay top dollar to settle a case.

3.An experienced medical malpractice lawyer will know how to find a qualified medical expert for your case - almost every medical malpractice case requires a medical expert witness to provide an opinion that the defendant was negligent. Without a proper opinion of liability from a qualified medical expert the case will probably be dismissed. One medical malpractice attorney stated that, “qualified medical experts are not easy to find, this is because most doctors will not get involved in a medical malpractice case or testify against a fellow doctor, so qualified and willing medical expert witnesses are few and far between. In most cases a malpractice lawyer will use medical experts from a different state”.

4.Medical malpractice cases are expensive - medical malpractice cases are expensive mainly because medical experts are expensive. Medical malpractice cases cost in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring to trial.
