THE IMPORTANCE OF FINDING A GOOD MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY
CONTINUE In cases of death, the attorney attempts to college damages for the family of the deceased. This can be a complicated procedure, as medical malpractice laws and regulations, particularly the statute of limitations, may vary from state to state.
TYPES There are two types of damages available to victims of medical malpractice: 1. Compensatory Damages 2. Punitive Damages
1. COMPENSATORY DAMAGES Compensatory damages serve to financially compensate victims of medical malpractice for their own financial losses or damages that may have resulted from the incident.
2. PUNITIVE DAMAGES Punitive damages are more difficult to recover, as the malpractice attorney must prove obvious, reckless disregard for the safety of a patient. The statute of limitations refers to the length of time one can legal services wait before filing a claim for medical malpractice.
GOOD MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY A good medical malpractice attorney will also help show the doctor or surgeon that they can't get away with what they've done. Winning your case, or receiving a settlement, will make that doctor or surgeon concentrate a little harder on each patient
