Medical malpractice attorneys are of great importance as they help you present a case when a doctor makes a mistake that results in harm. A good lawyer should help you in the following stages:
Investigation
This is the first thing a good lawyer should do. You should contact all physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers who are directly or indirectly involved in the alleged negligence. When the attorney contacts the parties involved, they should request copies of the relevant medical records.
After obtaining the records, you need to do a thorough research and understand the condition you are suffering from. You also need to understand how to treat the condition.
In addition to looking for information online, a good lawyer should also seek the help of an expert. For example, if you were suffering from asthma at the time of the negligence, the attorney should contact an asthma expert and learn as much as possible about the condition. The lawyer should also ask the expert if they treated him in the right way.
The presentation continues
Once the attorney has done his or her investigation and concluded that there was negligence, you should file a lawsuit. You must then provide the defendants and their attorneys with copies of the documents that show that a lawsuit has been filed.
Pretrial discovery
At this stage, the attorney must find the people who will be witnesses in court. The attorney will determine what kind of people they are, if the jury will like them, and if they are credible.
You should also ask the witnesses to give their part of the story. After listening to all the witnesses, you should come to a conclusion as to whether it is prudent to proceed to the next step.
Negotiations and settlement
The good thing about most medical malpractice cases is that they are resolved. This means that the cases do not go to trial. The reason cases are settled is because insurance companies cover them.
Sometimes negotiations to reach an agreement fail and the parties involved are forced to go to trial.
Judgment
At the trial stage, witnesses are asked to testify in court. To increase the chances of winning the case, the attorney should prepare evidence, visual aids, questions to witnesses, and opening statements. Although an attorney should do everything possible to help you win the case, they should remember that the final decision rests with the judge.
