What A Medical Malpractice Lawyer Does?

Malpractice lawyers usually deal with cases against doctors, but they also handle claims against any other medical professionals. This could include nurses, physician assistants and other medical personnel who work directly with patients. Malpractice is a wrong-doing against the patient by the medial personnel. It usually results in some form of harm, whether physical, emotional or psychological, depending on the specific situation. To determine whether a case exists or not, it is important to know if the negligent or harmful act by the medical professional could be considered intentional and if it can be proven. If these two factors yield a definite yes response, it is important to contact a medical malpractice attorney. To choose the best lawyer for the case, pick one who has experience with a proven record of success. Most attorneys who specialize in this specific area will advertise their success percentage. If it is higher than 75%, this is a good sign. Not all cases can be proven, so not every case will be won. The process of a medical malpractice lawsuit begins with an initial consultation with an attorney. In most law firms, this meeting is free. The lawyer will determine if the case is valid and if it is, he or she will proceed with filing charges against the medical personnel or the facility they work for. Attorneys will go to court with the plaintiff, or patient who was hurt, if need be. Some cases may be settled outside of the court. If the medical professional committing the negligent act works for a large facility or has malpractice insurance, the claim may be settled outside of court. This is because the facility does not want bad publicity; they also do not want to spend the money on court proceedings they know they will likely lose. Most lawyers who specialize in medical malpractice will be paid by taking a percentage of the settlement awarded. This is called a contingency fee. In most cases, it is about 30% or less. Since they want to earn as much as possible, attorneys will always be honest about advising whether to pursue the lawsuit in court or accept the out-of-court settlement offer.
