Medical Malpractice Case Settlement
Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Medical malpractice lawsuits are either tried in court or settled out of court. A medical malpractice settlement is usually beneficial to both parties, particularly because it allows them to avoid a lengthy and costly trial. Although it's always preferable to reach a medical malpractice settlement, it's not always easy to come by. This is why it's so important to choose an experienced medical malpractice attorney who has a proven track record of successful settlement negotiations.
Burke & Eisner: Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Since our firm's founding 15 years ago, we have negotiated medical malpractice settlements for our clients that amount to millions of dollars. However, we are experienced litigators as well as negotiators, and when cases have gone to trial, we have worked hard to secure favorable jury verdicts for our clients.
Whether a medical malpractice settlement is reached out of court or a case is tried in court, we strive to ensure our clients are compensated for their:
- Past and future lost wages
- Past and future treatment expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Other damages
Are You Eligible for Compensation?
Having your claim evaluated by a medical malpractice attorney is the only way to determine whether you're eligible for compensation. You should have an attorney evaluate your claim as soon as possible after an injury is sustained due to a:
- Surgical error – an instrument or gauze was left in the body, the wrong body part was removed or operated on, etc.
- Laboratory error – an x-ray was misread, biopsy results were misinterpreted, blood samples were mixed up
- Medication mistake – overdose, under-dose, wrong medication was administered
- IV error
- Mistake made during labor and delivery
- Diagnostic or treatment error – cancer was not diagnosed or misdiagnosed, for example
- Other mistake made by a healthcare worker
Individuals with medical malpractice claims only have a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit. Therefore, the sooner you contact an attorney when you suspect negligence occurred, the better.
If you have a case, the attorney may be able to negotiate a medical malpractice settlement on your behalf. However, if a medical malpractice settlement can't be achieved, there's a chance that your case may end up going to trial.
