 These
cases are a lot trickier than they might
seem. They're more expensive and time
consuming than any other kind of case.
Before any suit is filed, we make sure that
we have obtained an
expert medical opinion
with respect to the issue of
substandard care.
This can take time and a significant amount
of money, which we advance in the right
cases.
These
"pre-suit" opinions
are very expensive and often difficult to
obtain. Still, it is a critical step in the
progression of these cases. Doctors never
intend to cause someone harm but their
negligence
can cause life-altering changes to the
patient (and their families), and cost
thousands if not hundreds of thousands in
unnecessary medical expenses.
Costs advanced by us can run well into the
thousands of dollars even before suit is
filed! These cases are
highly technical
medically and require a great deal of
research and preparation.
It's the cases that are "shocking" that
usually go forward to a successful
settlement or verdict. Doctors and medical
providers are getting better at protecting
themselves from liability every day. You may
have already signed a detailed
informed consent form
that could severely limit or eliminate the
prospects of your claim from going forward.
Even so, if you feel that the doctor or
hospital's conduct was "outrageous" or
"grossly negligent," it may well have been,
so where's the harm in finding out?
Give us a call and we can discuss your
case with you at no charge.
