Medical Malpractice takes place when a healthcare provider provides a treatment that falls below the accepted standard of care in the community, putting the patient at further risk of injury and even death.
In other words, if a healthcare professional fails to act
where others in a similar situation with similar training would have, the
individual or facility may be liable for any resulting injuries and other
losses. In such a case, you would have a medical practice claim.
The Top Medical Malpractice Attorneys for you and your situation can be found by asking key questions while searching for local lawyers:
· Have they won previous cases like yours in the region?
An attorney’s website may list case results that show the amounts won and describe the circumstances of each case. Look for medical malpractice cases similar to your situation, and note if they were won in your city, county, or state.
· Were other local clients satisfied with their lawsuits?
By searching online or looking for a Testimonials page, you can hear honest reviews from real people the law firm may have helped.
· Are they nearby, accessible, and respectful?
When you send in information through a contact form or call directly, you should receive clear information in a professional manner. If you visit an attorney’s office in person, you should be met with respect. If an attorney or their office is dismissive of your worries or impatient with your questions, they are likely not the best lawyer for you.
· Are they willing to investigate and go to trial?
Ask about whether your lawyer has recent trial experience, or if they are prepared to go to trial should your case need that effort. While many cases are able to settle in timely out-of-court negotiations, you want to make sure your lawyer is willing to argue your case before a judge or jury if that is the best chance you have to fully recover your losses.
· Do they offer contingency payment arrangements?
If a law firm works on contingency fees, that means you do
not have to pay upfront to secure their legal services. At Marcarian Law Firm, P.C., we
understand that our clients may be going through financial hardships after
medical malpractice — we invest our time, work, and resources upfront, and are

for proper care and rehabilitation, as well as punishment for those who acted
