I contacted this firm after I was in a car accident where an uninsured driver ran thru a red light and crashed into my car and my insurance company said " oops, too bad, nothing we can do you had the wrong type of insurance coverave" this firm was able to help me get money from my insurance company to replace my totaled car and monies to pay for my medical procedures.. If it wasn't for this company I would not have been able to pay for medical attention. I would not have been able to purchase a car to continue getting to work. This firm kept me in the loop with what was going on 100% of the time. Informed me of all of my options and even gave me advice as to what type of coverage all drivers should have to protect them. Thanks guys shout out to Coleen

I hired Tim to help me deal with a legal dispute between myself and my former employer who was trying to withhold money that was owed to me. Not only did we not have to take this dispute to court Tim was able to secure a very large percentage of the money owed to me. Tim was professional, polite, and timely in all his communications with me and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.

After being involved in a car accident, I was left feeling overwhelmed and unsure of the next steps. That's when I decided to reach out to TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the moment I contacted them, I was met with empathy, professionalism, and a genuine eagerness to help. Their team in Philadelphia is not only skilled but also truly committed to their clients' well-being.

Anita, is a great lawyer. Any time I or any of my family/friends needs a lawyer I always call Anita. If she can't help me. She always sends me to someone in her office that can. I have sent a lot of people over the years to her to hire her. I had very hard cases that know one wanted to take. Anita settled my cases at a very high amount more then anyone thought that she could. I was very very happy. I will away come back to her.

I filed trademarks with the USPTO and then received office actions from the examiners. I was not equipped to handle the responses so we hired Company Counsel LLC. We worked with Bernard Williams and Ricardo Unikel. They were both excellent, efficient, understood our needs and we had remarkable results at an affordable cost. We risked losing our company name and they were able to communicate with the USPTO examiners and resolve their concerns. The outcome was outstanding! I will use them again in the future.

I worked with Shannon to draft and submit my operating agreement and everything else I needed to start my LLC. Shannon was helpful and knowledgeable at every stage. She made things easy to understand and she reassured me that everything was being taken care of. I was unsure about how to get started with my new business. Now I have my LLC and all the documents I need. I'll contact Company Counsel for any future legal needs my business may run into.

Coren is a top notch attorney who really knows the real estate business. Better yet, he was extremely responsive to all of our needs. We've never sold a home before, so we were novices through the process, but Coren went the extra mile to make sure that we understood the process, and were comfortable with all of its aspects. We highly recommend Coren and will ask of our family, friends and neighbors to consider Coren if the need arises. Kate and Ken

I had the opportunity to attend Sommer Miller's estate planning class, where she provided invaluable guidance. I am relieved to have avoided some common mistakes that many parents encounter after purchasing a home and raising multiple children. I believe I have gained significant knowledge from this class.

Please don’t waste your money. We hired her for a probate case, which she wanted 5 grand up front. We didn’t hear anything from her for about a year. Yet, the first thing this woman promised was to put in a motion to freeze assets, which she didn’t. Two years passed from when we hired her and she was asking for another 5,000. Meanwhile, we never stepped foot in court and all of the assets were spent so it was really no point to continue. I guess she figured she’ll get some more out of us. Please don’t waste your time and your money because she will.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You

A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
  • Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
  • Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
  • Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
  • Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
  • Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
  • Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.

Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.

What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?

A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:

  • Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
  • Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
  • Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
  • Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
  • Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
  • Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
  • Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.

How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?

Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
  • No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
  • Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.

Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.

How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.

Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
    Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. Have you worked with expert witnesses?
    Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
  • Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
  • Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
  • List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
  • Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
  • Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
