When medical negligence leaves you or a family member suffering from a serious injury or you lose a loved one because of substandard care in a hospital, the question of whether or not to hire an attorney often arises. Sadly, far too many people get caught up worrying about the cost of hiring legal counsel and whether they have a valid case that many fail to act in a timely manner, causing them to miss out on much-needed compensation. At [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″], in Canton, we understand that hiring an attorney to handle your medical malpractice case is a major decision and one that shouldn’t be made without careful consideration. That’s why we would like to take the time to help you understand your case and rights as well as the benefits of working with our firm.

Your Case May Be More Complex Than You Realize

Medical malpractice cases differ from other personal injury claims in that, in addition to potentially involving numerous parties, you will likely be up against a hospital and their team of attorneys. This in and of itself can be intimidating. Now add the fact that the burden of proof will be on you to show the doctor, hospital, facility or medical professional was negligent in their duty and failed to meet the standard of care.

After considering all of this it becomes easy to see why medical malpractice cases can be so complex and why so many victims hesitate to take action.

You May Need Substantial Information And Know How To Get It

In order to present an effective case, plaintiffs not only need to understand the law and their rights, they also need to provide detailed evidence that carefully lays out what happened, how it happened and what the result was. Evidence often includes:

  • A detailed outline of events
  • Medical records
  • Test results
  • Hospital reports
  • Testimony from hospital staff
  • Expert testimony that supports a victim’s claim for compensation

Gathering this evidence can be a major undertaking, which leaves most people feeling ill-equipped to handle matters on their own.
