Medical malpractice lawsuits are either tried in court or settled out of court. A medical malpractice settlement is usually beneficial to both parties, particularly because it allows them to avoid a lengthy and costly trial. Although a medical malpractice settlement is often preferable, it is not always easy to come by – This is why it’s crucial that you choose experienced medical attorneys who has a history of successful settlement negotiations.

Over the course of the 15 years since our firm’s founding, we have negotiated millions of dollars of medical malpractice settlements for our clients. But we are skilled litigators in addition to negotiators, and when cases have gone to trial, we have worked vigorously on our clients’ behalf to secure favorable jury verdicts.

Whether a medical malpractice settlement is reached out of court or a case is tried in court, we strive to ensure our clients are compensated for their:

• Past and future lost wages

• Pain and suffering
  
• Other damages

Are You Eligible for Compensation?

The only way to determine if you’re eligible for medical compensation is to have a medical malpractice attorney evaluate your claim. You should have an attorney evaluate your claim as soon as possible after an injury is sustained due to a: 

• Surgical error – an instrument or gauze was left in the body, the wrong body part was removed or operated on, etc.
  
• Laboratory error – an x-ray was misread, biopsy results were misinterpreted, blood samples were mixed up
  
• Medication mistake – overdose, under-dose, wrong medication was administered
  
• IV error
  
• Mistake made during labor and delivery
  
• Diagnostic or treatment error – cancer was not diagnosed or misdiagnosed, for example
  
• Other mistake made by a healthcare worker

Individuals with medical malpractice claims only have a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit. Therefore, the sooner you contact a lawyer after you suspect negligence occurred, the better.

If you have a case, attorneys may be able to negotiate a medical malpractice settlement on your behalf. However, if a medical malpractice settlement cannot be reached, it’s possible that your case will have to go to trial.
