Proving A Malpractice Case
1. Remember, not all injuries or complications mean that there has been malpractice. Bad outcomes don't always mean malpractice.
2. Determine what the doctor did wrong. Ask your current doctor for their opinon. A different doctor may be able to tell you what was improper about your treatment. Doctors are not always willing to point a finger at a colleague, however.
3. Decide what injuries you received because of the wrongdoing. At times, the injuries may not be related to the malpractice. Most states require proof that the doctor's wrongdoing was a large factor in the resulting injury. If there isn't proof of this, it will be hard to prove the case.
4. Your injuries need to have disabled your life in some way. If they are minor, you will have a hard time convincing an attorney that you have a successful case.
5. Did you follow the doctor's advice, and made an effort to get medical help to improve your condition? Often a patient refuses to follow instructions, or fails to get corrective surgery. If that is the situation, your chances of getting the maximum value for your injury decreases dramatically.
Finding a Malpractice Attorney
Look for an attorney that is experienced, and can communicate well with you, answer all your questions, and treat you like you are their only client. He/she should give you free information and reports about malpractice and lawsuits before you go into the office. There are many attorneys around, so do your homework and decide wisely. This will help you to be an informed consumer.
