The Nuts & Bolts of a Medical Malpractice Case: Important Items You Need to Know
In this companion installment to Season 1 Episode 4, Jason Tetlow takes a deeper look into the complexities of medical malpractice cases and how to navigate them effectively - outlining the steps patients should take after suspecting malpractice, starting with seeking proper medical attention and preserving all records.
Jason explains the critical role of expert opinions in establishing that a healthcare provider deviated from accepted standards of care. He also discusses how proving causation—the direct link between negligence and harm—is often one of the most challenging elements of these cases.
You will also learn the importance of acting quickly, especially due to the strict statutes of limitations and required pre-suit procedures in many states. Jason also shares tips on what clients can expect during the investigation and litigation phases.
To ensure a positive outcome, it's imperative you seek guidance working closely with your attorney to build a strong case. From gathering supportive documentation to understanding the value of your claim, preparation and clear communication throughout the process need to be emphasized.
Key Takeaways:
- Early medical attention and documentation are crucial when malpractice is suspected.
- Expert witnesses are essential to prove a deviation from the standard of care.
- Establishing a clear link between negligence and injury is a key legal hurdle.
- Time limits and pre-filing requirements vary by state—don’t delay action.
- The investigation phase is detailed and can take time, so patience is important.
- Strong collaboration with your attorney greatly improves your chances of success.
