Read on to learn four questions to ask before hiring a medical malpractice attorney :

  You should avoid hiring any law firm that offers to take on your case for a low flat rate. Firms with that kind of fee structure are often “ settlement mills ” that care more about the number of cases they handle than the quality of representation they provide. These practices are also unlikely to devote additional time and resources to your case if issues arise.  

  The best attorneys make a name for themselves among their colleagues.  Other attorneys  recommend them when clients are in need of legal services that the firm does not provide.  

  Look for a lawyer who has a vast network of legal resources that you wouldn’t have access to otherwise. This network might be composed of medical specialists, economists, and vocational experts from a variety of disciplines.  

  Every medical malpractice claim may be different, but the same or similar strategies often apply when proving negligence. A reputable attorney will never promise to achieve a particular outcome.  Legal proceedings can be unpredictable.  The lawyer whom you hire should be able to talk confidently about the possible ways to build your claim.

  If you want to file a medical malpractice claim after receiving substandard care, turn to Gump & Faiella. We have a track record of success in a wide array of medical negligence cases including diagnostic errors, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and many others.
