MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Medical Malpractice cases are complex and can involve several different theories, such as failure to diagnose, failure to provide proper treatment, surgical error and lack of informed consent. In order to prove a case of medical malpractice a plaintiff must prove that the particular physician departed from the standard of care in the locality in which the Doctor practices medicine.

Unlike other personal injury cases, an attorney must certify to the Court that there was a consultation with an appropriately qualified physician and there is merit to the lawsuit. As such, this involves a comprehensive review of the relevant medical chart(s) by the appropriate expert.

Additionally, a large percentage of medical malpractice cases go to trial, as most physicians must consent to settle the case and often times Doctors are unwilling to do so. Therefore, it is essential to have your case reviewed by attorneys who are knowledgeable in this area.
