WHAT IS MEDICAL
MALPRACTICE & MISDIAGNOSIS?
Medical
malpractice occurs where a medical practitioner acts in a negligent
manner when treating a medical condition or makes a misdiagnosis. This
negligence must result in the cause of an injury to the patient beyond
that already suffered by the patient. Thus, the negligence must cause an
injury beyond that which would have resulted had the physician acted in
a responsible manner.
How do I
decide who should represent me in court?
It is an important decision, which
should be made only after discussing the situation with the attorney and
determine whether the attorney can sufficiently protect your interests.
Factors to help you make this decision include:
- The expertise of the attorney with
the subject area of the litigation.
- The experience the attorney to be
representing you has with similar malpractice cases.
- The knowledge of the attorney, and
whether the knowledge is current.
- The resources of the attorney.
- The attorney's fee and the method of
payment
- The reputation and experience of the
experts which the attorney utilizes.
Lawyers do not take lightly the idea
of retaining clients to sue others in frivolous suits. Suing people is a
laborious, costly process, and emotionally exhausting. You need
malpractice lawyers with a proven track record and extensive
experience.
