I made the right decision when I chose Mr. Lasky for my case after I hurt myself at work. I didn't really know what to do and he took care of everything. He was great about communicating with me about what was going on and I felt really confident in his abilities.

Mr. Cossio has been very responsive right from the start of my first contact with him. He returns all of my phone calls and messages, and he has been very thorough in collecting information from me, and from doctor visits, etc. regarding my claim.

Through many years of professional association, I became well acquainted with Noble Boykin. He enjoys the highest reputation in our profession. Approximately four years ago, I had the need of my own, personal attorney, and I was fortunate to be accepted as a client. My cases were very complicated and involoved a number of legal challenges, all of which Mr. Boykin addressed patiently, promptly, and competently. Litigaton was involved on a number of occasions; the results optained were extraordinary and totally satisfactory. During the course of his representation of me in these cases, I received totally unrelated personal injuries. Litigation was indicated and required. Once more, Noble Boykin provided me with the most excellent advice and representation, and I have recommended him to several close friends because of his professional ablility and compassion. He has earned the respect of his colleagues and peers, and his reputation within the entire legal community is unmatched. Noble deserves and possesses my total confidence; he is a very fine and highly professional advocate.

I contacted offices of Harold J. Cronk regarding hitting a guard rail and leaving my car and not reporting it! My court dates were postponed a couple of times, but my attorney worked miracles. I was fortunate enough to not have the police show. But, regardless, the judge was very familiar with my lawyer and granted me a dismissal! I would highly recommend their services if something of a high legal matter was needed! Thank you so much!!

The Johnston Law Firm was truly a Godsend for my husband and our family during a very difficult time. His workers' comp case was overwhelming, especially when we tried to handle it ourselves after local attorney's wouldn't help. When things became too complex, we reached out to Johnston Law Firm, and it was the best decision we made. Jonathan and Brandi immediately stepped in, rolling up their sleeves and taking control of the situation. They consistently kept us informed, answered every question with patience, and explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my husband's case settled for much more than we ever expected. If you're facing a workers' compensation issue, here's my advice: 1) Don't try to navigate it alone-workers' comp attorneys are there for a reason, and 2) Contact Johnston Law Firm, LLC. You'll be in the best hands possible!

I wanted to express my deepest appreciation for the work that Oliver Maner LLP did regarding the legal action taken against me. This action involved a high-profile case, with national news coverage. Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other talented attorneys of the firm addressed the case filed against me in a professional manner with constant follow-up. The team was very thoughtful and expressed a deep concern concerning the situation I was facing. The team made me feel comfortable, explaining the legal demands and responses required. The expertise offered by Mr. O'Connor and his associates is among the best I have ever worked with. I have been involved in the legal system since 1983, working in public safety. Mr. O'Connor takes time to explain the course of action, outcomes, and avenues to address the situation. The follow-up on questions and timely reporting of action helped to alleviate the normal stress filled period. I would, without hesitation, recommend the services of Oliver Maner LLP and Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other attorneys at the firm.

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.
