If you or someone you love was injured in a medical setting, you likely have far more questions than answers. We understand how difficult and scary this experience can be, and we are ready to help.
Below, we’ve provided answers to some of the most common medical malpractice questions that prospective clients ask. After reading, you can contact Pickard Law, P.C., to ask any additional questions you may have during a free initial consultation.
Legally speaking, any attorney can represent you in a medical malpractice claim. However, these types of cases tend to be very complex and require major investments of time, money and research. Most personal injury attorneys lack the experience, resources and drive to successfully litigate a med mal claim.
Our firm has been in continuous operation locally for more than 35 years, and our team of attorneys has more than 100 years of combined experience. We have a history of success on behalf of plaintiffs, and we have developed a network of medical professionals who can serve as expert witnesses in medical malpractice litigation. No firm can guarantee outcomes, but we offer all of the elements necessary to maximize your chances of success.
Unfortunately, this is a very common problem. Patients suffer serious harm or lose a loved one, but doctors and/or the hospital refuse to discuss details or provide an explanation for what went wrong. They do this because they are concerned about being sued. Ironically, however, their silence often forces desperate patients and families to hire a lawyer just to seek answers.
If you or a loved one was seriously injured (or worse) while under the care of a medical provider, you can contact our attorneys to share your story during a free initial consultation. If we are able to take your case, we will work tirelessly to help you find the answers and compensation you are looking for.
There is no standard answer to either of these questions. Some medical malpractice claims are settled out of court within a matter of months, while some take years and culminate in a jury trial. It depends on a wide variety of factors, including the seriousness of the harm, the complexity of the error, and how willing the physician and hospital are to take responsibility for their mistakes. When we take your case, we always work to get you the best results possible, and that sometimes means advising you to reject an unfair settlement offer.
