Michael and his team (namely, Heath Isaacs) handled the paperwork and the bankruptcy hearing (which I have just finished) professionally. All was done on time. I will leave another review when the bankruptcy is settled.

Mark and his staff represented me during my case and all I can say is that they were nothing short of amazing! Mark is professional, knowledgeable, and works tirelessly to support you during one of your worst times. Mark took the time to get to know me and he had my best interest in mind from day one. During this difficult time Mark was always one phone call or email away and was always at the ready when I had a question or concern. Mark cares about you and it shows in his work. Mark worked extremely hard for me and I was very impressed . I would not hesitate to work with Mark again as he did such an amazing job for me! I am so thankful for what Mark and his staff did for me as they did everything they could and then some. If you are searching for someone...search no more, Mark is the guy to go with!

I have to say it was a blessing in disguise how I ended up with Mark as my attorney. He is not only an amazing, knowledgeable, fair and great attorney but I feel like he cares about his clients. Always keeps you informed, talks you off the ledge when you need it and has been very fair every step of the way. There should be more people in this world like Mark!

Len Sloane is a fantastic attorney. He is thorough, timely, responsive, and a pleasure with which to work. He explained to me each step of the process and answered all of my questions. The size of the case did not matter to Len. He helped me settle a medium-sized traffic accident case. I would recommend Len to a stranger, a friend, and to a family member. Hopefully, I will not need a lawyer in the future but if I do, I will call Len Sloane at the Law Offices of Eckell Sparks.

Mr. Sloane is an extremely efficient as well as passionate attorney. He was always up to date on my case status whenever I asked him and was able to answer all my questions in terms that I was able to understand. He made me feel very comfortable with the legal process and gave helpful instructions when it came time to give a deposition. I was extremely satisfied with the results of my lawsuit and, if legal circumstances arise again, will be giving him a call first.

Kathleen was extremely helpful in a very complicated situation, which required reviewing a large amount of information. She went above and beyond in may respects, including providing valuable perspective on the academic world and how to navigate it effectively. Additionally, she was supportive and empathic while also sticking to the facts and remaining objective. I would recommend her to anyone having legal issues with a university!

Ms. Mahoney was assigned as my representative and advisor by a third-party to a workplace discrimination case that I brought against a college where I was employed as an adjunct professor. Immediately once we met it was evident that Ms. Mahoney held great integrity in her work. She communicated clearly and honestly at all times and balanced professionalism and personability in ways that helped me feel supported in an otherwise difficult situation with the college. As a scholar/academic, I would also add that she was a delight to collaborate with on the case. Her execution during the investigation hearing was diligent and attentive; I couldn't have asked for better representation.

I would like to share my positive experience's with having Tyler represent me with my MVA . His professionalism and tenacity in obtaining an award in my favor was extremely appreciated.

Kevin and his Associates namely Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us I. Our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during Covid 19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. The monies they were able to retrieve are so important to our son’s new normal, new beginning. He was able to rectify medical bills as well and help us to find a way to put his monies in safe keeping of a special needs trust so he had safe access to his funds for his needs, while maintaining his forever life changing needs that will be met by assistance now and long after his monies run out. This recommendation was priceless. They are truly experienced professionals that never give up, and then theses recent uncertain times of COVID-19 they really pulled through! We are most fortunate that our son’s life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!

My daughter was in a car accident. A family member told us about Kevin. He had helped them . I called his office. His staff was professional and caring .I asked for a family meeting. Due to the accident we did not have a car. We were going to take public transportation. When Kevin called to set up the meeting I told him we would all have to take public transportation. He said he would come to our house. He did. He was so caring. He got the job done. And the final financial settlement , will help my daughter the rest of her life. Thank you Kevin!

We hired Pete Manaras, Esq. on a recommendation at a time when help was very much needed in an area in which we had no experience. Their timely, prompt and efficient response was so welcome from our first phone call at a very bad time to the last with a positive outcome. The firm's paralegal, Nicole, could not have been more helpful, pleasant and responsive throughout our ordeal. They helped tremendously during a very scary time for our family with a successful outcome. I cannot say thank you enough.

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