NEED A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY?

About Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases are complex and occur when a hospital, doctor, or other healthcare professional causes injury to a patient through negligence. While examples of medical errors and medical malpractice lawsuits can be found below, medical negligence is generally defined as a healthcare provider’s failure to take proper care in performing necessary service.

It is our mission to ensure that you and your loved ones feel supported when something goes wrong. Everyone who receives medical care expects that they will not endure injuries when they are at their most vulnerable.

What To Ask About Medical Negligence Lawsuits – FAQs

Can I file a malpractice lawsuit for my injury?

During your initial free consultation with our law firm, we will perform a free evaluation of your case.

What will I be asked during my initial consultation?

While every case is different, examples of questions you may be asked by one of our attorneys during a consultation include:

• What happened to you or your loved one as a result of a negligent medical professional?
• When did this happen?
• What treatment was initially sought?
• Where did the negligence or malpractice occur?
• How are you doing now? Have you made a full recovery? Are you still seeking treatment?
• Who are your new doctors or medical professionals?

Potential clients do not need to have their medical records in order to have a consultation and you do not need to know all of the doctors and nurses names that were involved in the negligence. It can be overwhelming when you are in the hospital and see so many doctors and nurses, especially when you are in pain and medicated. At Belluck & Fox, our attorneys can help find out and determine which medical providers were negligent.

How much does it cost to hire a malpractice lawyer?

At Belluck & Fox, your initial consultation is free. If we agree to represent you in your lawsuit, we will discuss with you the rates that are involved if we win. We only get a fee if you receive compensation.

When should I pursue legal action?

If you think that you might have a case, the time to act is now. Every state has a statute of limitations that restricts how much time is allowed to pass before you take legal action. Because every moment counts during a lawsuit, we encourage you to reach out to start the process as soon as possible.

How long does it take to resolve a medical malpractice lawsuit?

The length of a lawsuit depends on many factors including the type of injury, the evidence available to prove fault, the willingness of the negligent party to engage in negotiation, whether or not the lawsuit needs to go to trial, and many other factors. Our law office is committed to moving through the process as quickly as possible to get you and your family justice.
