Mr. Pewarski represented me in a serious Podiatric Malpractice case involving the loss of a limb of one of my patients. He was tremendously prepared, knew the Podiatric and Infectious Disease Medicine of the case as well as a doctor and his cross examination of the other side's experts was absolutely amazing. He stayed in close daily contact during the preparation leading up to the trial, and met multiple times with me until I was completely prepared to be a witness. I would recommend Mr. Pewarski to any health care provider who has the misfortune of becoming a defendant in a malpractice lawsuit.

Mr. Cinnamon represented me in my workers' compensation case. I had never been injured on the job before and Mr. Cinnamon made the whole process easy. He took the time to explain every detail of my case to me and went above and beyond to answer all my questions. My payments were reduced and I was having a hard time making ends meet but Mr. Cinnamon was able to increase my payments and made sure that I didn't lose my house. I am very grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone that has been injured on the job. There are very few lawyers that take the time to really get to know you and make you feel comfortable. Mr. Cinnamon is one of those lawyers. Thanks again for all your help!

While having to defend a professional suit is unpleasant for any chiropractor, Doug FitzMorris and his team provided me with a feeling of utmost confidence by their experience and professionalism. I knew through the whole process that Doug was focused and had a plan. He was always available to me, responding quickly to my emails and phone calls. I always felt that my case was as important to him as it was to me! Doug provided detailed answers to my concerns and made large blocks of time available to prepare me for the trial. During our pretrial meetings we discussed all aspects of the defense, covering in detail the strategy and intricacies of the courtroom procedure. I got the impression that Doug was completely forthcoming about both the strengths and possible weaknesses of the case, and we were able to discuss them frankly. Having Doug and his team on my side made my experience an exercise in problem solving and strategy rather than one of anxiety.

I have worked with other injury lawyers in the past and some of them just look like they are going through the motions and taking whatever the company will offer. These guys are different. They'll really get out there are fight for you even when the insurance tries to stall and delay. They want to get paid so they'll work hard to get you paid.

I was in a lot of pain from an injury I suffered in a car accident last year. My original lawyer could care less - did not care about my prognosis, rarely returned my calls, and put my case on the back burner while he chased other larger cases. I literally just felt like a file thrown on his desk. Max came highly recommended and when I contacted him (at my wits end) he immediately made me feel at ease. From the moment he took over my case, I felt I could relax because I was in good hands. This was a lawyer who was not only highly interested in the history and extent of my injury, but wanted to ensure I was seeing the right doctors and getting the proper treatment. Due to my soft tissue injury, this was not a cut and dry case and I knew what I was up against in trying to win a settlement for the pain I suffered from my shoulder injury. I felt secure this lawyer would put my personal best interest first - I didn't doubt his motivations for a minute. He's also extremely sharp and highly intelligent. From the minute you meet Max, you get that impression that he is a man in control.
Once he took over, he immediately had the ball rolling and kept me abreast of updates and whereabouts in my case. If you want a lawyer who is not only caring, but extremely detail oriented and will work hard for you to see your case through - Maximillian is your guy.
I am extremely please with the settlement he was able to procure. His professionalism and dedication to me over these last 6 months, will make him my go-to lawyer for years to come. He comes highly recommended!

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.
