Will my medical attorney allow me to actively participate in my case?

If you're wondering whether your medical attorney will allow you to actively participate in your doctor malpractice case. Then the answer is yes.

It will be to your advantage if you actively participate in your doctor malpractice case. When you hire your medical lawyer, you are paying him to give you legal advice. Your medical attorney shouldn't be making any major decision about whether to push through or how to go about with the case without your consent.

Pay attention to whether the medical attorney seems willing and able to explain the doctor malpractice case to you. Does he answer your questions clearly and completely? Ask the medical attorney what information will be supplied to you.

In order to actively participate in your doctor malpractice case you need to also ask your medical lawyer in what manner and how often will you be kept informed about your case' progress. Will the medical attorney furnish you copies of documents that have to do with your case? Will it be possible for you to cut down on medical lawyer's fees and other costs by gathering documents or otherwise assisting in the effort? If so, then do it.

The more actively involved you are with your doctor malpractice case, the better you understand the process and the better prepared you will be whatever the outcome of your case.
