Tips for Selecting a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Medical malpractice cases can be complex, long-term projects for a lawyer to undertake. For that reason medical malpractice lawyers select their cases very carefully.
  • Does the lawyer handle medical malpractice cases? How long has the lawyer been practicing in this area?
  • Check out the lawyer's reputation and skills. Ask other lawyers. Ask friends and associates if they are familiar with the lawyer.
  • Does the lawyer belong to the American Association for Justice and the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association, or other personal injury lawyer associations?
  • Is the lawyer available for an immediate appointment? Does the lawyer have the time and resources to give you the attention you require?
  • Review the lawyer's biography and areas of practice on the firm's website.
  • Visit the website of the state bar association, or call them, to assure the lawyer is in good standing.
  • Is the lawyer conveniently located to assist you? Does the lawyer have strong ties in your community?
  • Can the law firm endure the cost of pursuing the case on a contingency basis?
  • Does the lawyer seem to have an interest in representing you?
  • Will the lawyer be handling your case personally?
  • Are you comfortable with the lawyer?
Things to know:
  • Estimates range from 90,000 to over 100,000 deaths per year result from medical malpractice
  • A statute of limitations may apply, so contact a qualified medical malpractice lawyer quickly
  • Others of the physician's patients may also be getting improper care. You may try to make contact with them.
  • The care you receive should be documented to the best of your ability. Include timelines, dates, symptoms, physicians, conversations and treatments.
  • You may wish to get a second opinion from another qualified physician.
