What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical professionals have an obligation to uphold a standard of care across their industry. Their negligence can violate that standard of care and put you in harm’s way. This negligence is called medical malpractice. It can take on a wide range of forms, but some of the most common include:

• Misdiagnoses
• Delayed diagnoses
• Surgical errors, including performing the wrong surgery or leaving surgical instruments behind in a patient after concluding a surgery
• Failing to treat a patient after completing diagnostic tests
• Prescription drug errors
• Birth injuries
• Failure to prevent infections or further injuries
• Anesthesia errors

If you’re not sure whether you’ve suffered from medical malpractice, consider scheduling a free case consultation with a Montgomery medical malpractice attorney. We can discuss your situation in detail and determine whether or not you have the grounds to pursue a settlement based on the mistreatment you endured.

If you choose to work with us, we can investigate offending medical institutions and professionals to prove that you suffered from care that fell below the standard required by the medical industry. 

We can subsequently pursue compensation for your outstanding medical bills, ongoing medical expenses, and additional expenses and losses, like your lost wages and lost quality of life.

What to Expect From a Lawyer for Medical Malpractice in Montgomery

The sooner you can get in touch with us after a suspected instance of medical malpractice, the better. We can begin investigating the mistreatment you endured. Our investigation, which may reveal witness statements about your care, reports about your condition, and third-party medical opinions, can lay the foundation for your fight for a medical malpractice settlement.

Once we have the evidence we need to establish the narrative of your mistreatment, we can present our findings to an insurance adjuster. We can also present that narrative alongside a record of the losses that you endured as a result of medical malpractice. In doing so, we can prevent insurance companies from pressuring you into accepting a premature settlement.

We can then negotiate with insurance adjusters for the financial support you need to pay your bills and restore your lost quality of life, if possible. If an insurer won’t make a reasonable offer, we can file a lawsuit. We can even take your case to trial if an insurer continues to deny its responsibility to you.

How to Ask for Medical Malpractice Damages 

Medical malpractice can leave you with expenses that you can’t afford to pay on your own. Medical bills from your original treatment can haunt you unless you secure compensation. Additional treatments can leave you in substantial debt, especially if your injuries make it difficult or impossible for you to go back to work.

When the time comes to ask for damages, our Montgomery medical malpractice attorneys can assign a dollar value to these expenses in addition to other economic losses. We can then calculate the value of your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life. 

Calculating the value of these losses ahead of time allows us to push back if an insurance adjuster tries to pressure you into accepting a premature or lowball settlement. When we have a lot of information about your losses, we can maximize your request for support and turn down any attempts to misrepresent the negligence that has upended your life.
