Everyone makes mistakes, no matter how capable and trustworthy we may be. Unfortunately, while most of our mistakes are relatively harmless, a doctor’s mistake could be deadly. And while we know the vast majority of doctors are good, hard-working people, all the good intentions in the world won’t heal your injuries if you’re a victim of medical malpractice.
Thanks to the medical and scientific standards involved in malpractice cases, these claims are among the most complicated in the legal system. Expert witnesses will need to testify, high evidentiary standards will be applied to the evidence, complex theories will need to be simplified for the jury, and a complete understanding of typical medical practices and procedures will be required. The sheer mountain of paperwork involved—medical records, depositions, and exhibits—can be overwhelming, much less the case law. Worse, if you were under anesthesia while the malpractice occurred, the negligent doctor and his nurses may be the only witnesses. It requires a smart, experienced attorney backed by expert witnesses to figure out what really happened, and how you were wronged.
