The first factor to evaluate is the strength of your medical malpractice case – are you right about the medicine, the standard of care and causation, and do you have credible, well-known (in the medical field or their specialty) experts testifying for you?
Evaluating and testifying experts are a critical factor in any medical malpractice case, whether you file the case in DC, Maryland, or Virginia (sometimes you may have a choice of where to file the case). And that is one of the major things hospital risk managers and medical malpractice lawyers look for in evaluating a case. They will send the case to be reviewed by their own chosen expert witnesses as well to see if they can get opposing opinions and to evaluate the medical aspects of the case – the standard of care, causation, and the harms and losses to the patient.
Another important factor hospitals evaluate in any medical malpractice case are the legal damages – the harms and losses that the malpractice caused, and the cost of these, both in terms of financial costs and the changes to the patient’s life. We believe this is such an important factor – it’s the consequences of what happened to you and your family – that it should be addressed early in the medical malpractice case – first thing.
Reach out to us and we will send you our confidential intake form to tell us your story, or you can speak with an intake specialist.
We do things differently than most medical malpractice lawyers, so we have the patient evaluated by several experts to assess the future medical care and treatment and the cost of this, plus the person’s functioning. These assessments include evaluating whether they will be able to work, whether they need modifications to their home and/or home health aides, and many other changes.
We want the hospital that caused these losses and damages to know the extent of the damage before the medical malpractice case is even filed – so they know it is a serious matter and can begin preparations to evaluate and ultimately settle the medical malpractice case.
