How Strong Is Your Medical Malpractice Case?
The strength of your medical malpractice case depends on three key factors:
1. Whether a doctor or hospital violated the standard of care
2. Whether that mistake caused serious harm
3. Whether qualified medical experts support your case
If the answer is yes to all three, you may have a strong medical malpractice case.
What Makes a Medical Malpractice Case Strong?
You’re Right About the Medicine
To have a strong case, we need to show that a doctor or hospital made a serious medical mistake—something no reasonable provider would have done. That means understanding the standard of care in your specific situation.
You Can Prove the Mistake Caused Harm
It’s not enough to show a medical error happened. You must also show that the error caused real, lasting harm—whether that’s a physical injury, lost ability to work, or a need for ongoing medical care.
Experts Are Willing to Testify
You must have strong, credible medical experts who back you up. We work with well-known specialists in their fields to review and support your case—so that when your case is filed, the hospital knows it’s serious.
We Do Things Differently Than Other Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Most lawyers wait to gather evidence. We don’t. Right from the start, we have several experts evaluate your medical care, your future needs, and how this has affected your work, home life, and overall functioning. That includes:
- Future treatment and rehab needs
- Home modifications or aides
- Whether you can return to work
- Financial costs and lifelong impact
We believe the hospital should know exactly what they’ve done—before a lawsuit is even filed.
Damages Matter—A Lot
Hospitals and insurance companies look closely at the damages in every case. That means they evaluate:
- The cost of your medical treatment
- Lost income and future earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and impact on your life
Your injuries and what you’ve been through matter most. That’s why we begin every medical malpractice case by looking closely at the harm caused and how it has affected your life.
