Why You Need an Attorney if You Think You Have Been the Victim of Medical Malpractice

New York Medical Malpractice Attorneys Representing Peopled Who Suffered Due To Medical Errors and Malpractice

Medical malpractice injures thousands of people each year, sometimes without victims even being aware that they have been affected. It can take a variety of forms, including delayed diagnosis, medication errors, surgical errors, or negligence during pregnancy or labor. If you believe that you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is strongly recommended that you consult with an experienced attorney. Here are some of the reasons why.

Medical Malpractice Can be Difficult to Recognize

Not every medical mistake or adverse outcome results in a valid medical malpractice claim. Medical malpractice is a type of professional negligence that occurs when a health care professional fails to provide medical treatment consistent with the standard of care in their profession. Understanding this standard requires significant experience with the legal and health care systems and may even require expert opinion to be considered. Malpractice lawyers with familiar with New York medical malpractice law will be able to help you determine whether you have a claim

Healthcare Professionals and Their Insurers Are Ready for Your Claim

Doctors, surgeons, nurses, dentists, and the companies that insure them are well-aware of the fact that they operate in a high-risk industry and have teams of lawyers on call. For this reason, they are prepared to aggressively defend claims of medical malpractice and will usually not hesitate to use tactics to delay or minimize claims brought by unrepresented parties.

You Probably Do Not Know What Your Claim is Worth

In the event that you do get the insurance company to admit liability, without knowing the value of your claim, you run the risk of accepting a settlement significantly below what your claim is worth. In addition, if litigation is not a real threat (which it is usually not, with unrepresented parties), there is little incentive for insurance companies to make a reasonable settlement offer in a timely manner.
