Do I have a case?
Answer: It depends.
Our law provides patients with a right to compensation for injuries caused by medical care and treatment that falls below the accepted standard of care. Each medical profession, specialty and sub-specialty has a minimum standard of practice and competence, termed the standard of care. Only someone qualified and licensed to practice within a particular medical area is qualified to define the standard of care for that area; i.e., only a pediatric orthopedist can say what the standard of care is for pediatric orthopedics. Medical treatment that falls below the standard of care is negligence. A patient is entitled to compensation for only those injuries that were caused by negligent treatment. The question of whether a patient has a case is a complex analysis of legal, medical and economic factors. An attorney must be able to evaluate the likelihood of obtaining favorable medical expert opinions and testimony, the nature and extent of the injuries that can be linked to the negligent treatment, t he likelihood of being able to bring the case in a plaintiff friendly location, and the amount of money that a jury may award should the patient win at trial. The attorneys at Swartz Culleton PC can help with all aspects of evaluating your medical malpractice claim.
