Medical Malpractice cases require an attorney with special expertise and training.  We recommend that medical malpractice clients ask questions such as the following before hiring an attorney to handle their medical malpractice case.

ASK BEFORE HIRING A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY:

• Does the attorney specialize in medical malpractice cases?  For how many years?
• Has the attorney ever tried medical malpractice cases to a jury?  How many?
• Has the attorney ever settled any medical malpractice cases? How many?
• Are they members of professional medical malpractice organizations?
• Do they regularly attend seminars and read journals to improve their medico-legal skills?
• Have they been rated as to competence by Martindale-Hubbell and what is their rating?
• Have they personally reviewed thousands of such cases in their careers?
• Have they ever been appointed by a Circuit Court to act as a plaintiff's medical malpractice mediator or case evaluator?
• Do they regularly review and evaluate medical malpractice cases for the courts for the purpose of making recommendations for settlement to the court?
• Do they have the ability to discuss medical issues with you at a knowledgeable and insightful level?
