When patients are treated with substandard health care, they have the option to seek recompense for the harms that result. A medical malpractice case is brought to court when a health-care professional engages in an omissive or negligent act at some point throughout the course of a patient’s care.
Legal representatives who do not have significant experience handling medical malpractice suits can sometimes overlook certain details. Neglecting key details can have serious consequences on the outcome of the case. When working with an attorney in a malpractice suit, plaintiffs should check that their counsel is engaging in the following best practices.
If an attorney chooses to proceed with the case solely on the word of the client, he endangers the case. Legal professionals should always consult several well-vetted medical experts early to corroborate and fully understand the claims made. Neglecting to do so could waste the client's time and money.
Medical records play a critical role in determining the case’s legitimacy. However, record collecting becomes counterproductive if an abundance of superfluous information is amassed. Attorneys should focus their record-collecting efforts on data that pertains directly to the case and make sure all reproductions are clearly legible, requesting better copies immediately when illegible records are received.
Using questionable medical experts and presenting confusing or illegible documents can quickly dismantle a malpractice case.
