When you and your medical attorney disagree during the first meeting

If you during your first meeting with your medical attorney, the two of you do not agree on certain issues, then both of you should immediately start resolving potential problems. A smooth relationship with your medical attorney is vital to a successful medical lawsuit.

Ask your medical lawyer whether he will agree to arbitration should a serious dispute arise between you two. A common area of disagreement would be cost or expenses. This can be resolved if both parties are willing to come up with a solution that will benefit everyone.

In some states, it is compulsory for medical attorneys to agree to arbitrate certain types of disputes with their clients. A number of state bar associations do have arbitration committees. This committee is charged with the task of settling disputes between you and your medical attorney whatever they may be.
