Why You Should Hire A Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider acts negligently and doesn’t treat a patient with the recognized standard of care. Miami medical malpractice lawyer, Michael P. Bonner, is frequently called upon to represent patients who have suffered from negligence by their doctors and surgeons.



8 Reasons Why You Might Consider Hiring a Medical Malpractice Attorney


•Dealing with insurance companies. Insurance companies can be difficult to deal with. Insurance companies are always looking for ways to save money and make money. The fact is that insurance companies are in the business of getting paid, which means they must know how to get results that get paid quickly and without delay. There are many things doctors will do in order to make sure they have a strong defense against being sued, but there are also things they can do to minimize or eliminate those risks while still keeping costs down overall.


•Handling the endless paperwork. The administrative office is where the closest doctor’s office is. This office is known for the endless paperwork that needs to be sorted out, with everyone in the office complaining about it. The number of pages used to handle insurance claims and paper-based medical records has been increasing daily.


•Knowing the value of a claim. Claimant's Counsel is a highly trained attorney who knows how to effectively evaluate and exploit your medical malpractice claim, before it becomes an issue. The claim may have to be handled by an experienced, local lawyer if you do not have a claim or if the expert needs to see some patient records. This can become costly because of the need for extra travel time and consultation with multiple physicians. Your lawyer will also coordinate all of your expert's exams during this process as well as present all discovery deadlines that should be met when you file the lawsuit


•Negotiating the best settlement possible. Negotiating the best settlement possible is hardly ever guesswork. We do our research to determine your claim value and match you with an attorney with a solid track record who’s had a lot of success in similar cases. We contact our clients directly and provide updates on their cases while offering gentle guidance which helps ensure the best results possible.

   

•Arguing your case before a judge or jury. When a doctor or other health care provider has made a medical error and the patient is harmed, you might be able to file a civil lawsuit against your physician in order to recover compensation for your injuries. Civil cases are very different from criminal cases, in which the defendant may face jail time if convicted. In a civil case, you can rarely recover punitive damages. You can still expect an award of damages from your lawsuit, however.


•Avoiding mistakes. The more you can avoid, the less likely it is that you will injure someone due to a medical mistake. Always ask questions and be clear about your role, responsibilities, and limits when treating a patient. Document every step of the treatment process and keep track of what medications and tests are administered by using computerized medical record systems, hand-written notes directly on paper charts or equivalents, or patient-generated receipts or bills


•Speeding up the process. When a process or activity speeds up, you are experiencing a decrease in time. This is also referred to as a decrease in the rate of something. A medical malpractice lawyer is someone who assists victims of medical negligence with their legal claims against negligent healthcare professionals and/or entities, including hospitals, physicians, nursing homes, home health agencies, clinics and others.
