Law differs from one state to another, however, the procedure your medical lawyer will follow to evaluate the merits of your doctor malpractice case should be pretty much uniform.
  1. Medical lawyers meet with clients to gather basic facts;
  2. Medical attorneys will gather whatever records are necessary for review;
  3. Medical attorneys will consult an expert to see if there is doctor malpractice;
  4. Medical lawyers have the records examined by an expert whether causation exists; and
  5. Medical attorneys make an preliminary assessment of value.
