Top Medical Malpractice Attorneys Know...
It seems hard to believe, but the majority of patients who are seriously harmed due to medical negligence never file a lawsuit. Gross negligence can lead to a fast settlement, which your lawyer can help negotiate to ensure maximum compensation and rapid recovery under the law. Over 90% are settled out of court.
In fact, estimates are that only 13% of those seriously injured as a result of negligence file medical malpractice lawsuits. In addition, the Institute of Medicine estimates that 192,000 people in the U.S. die each year as the result of preventable medical mistakes.
Ultimately, the best personal injury lawyers know, your case is about more than just a large settlement - acknowledging the impact their negligence has had on your family matters. Holding them accountable and achieving justice on your behalf matters.
Of course, no amount of money can truly compensate for your health and well being, but as much as possible the courts attempt to fairly compensate victims so that they are able to repair any financial damage caused and go on to lead as normal a life as possible after their injury. In cases where the victim has been killed, the surviving family members may be eligible as distributees in a wrongful death lawsuit.

A law suit against negligent health care providers may be able to recover any financial losses experienced, such as unnecessary surgery or health care costs and lost wages, both present and future.
Depending on the laws in your state and the severity of the injuries, your medical malpractice lawsuit may also compensate you for less easily quantified expenses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of relationship benefits and even loss of life's enjoyment.
In an effort to overhaul the medical liability system by doctors' groups, insurance companies and patient groups, tort reform laws have been enacted in a number of states limiting the amount of damages for pain and suffering. Intended to limit frivolous lawsuits, it may instead impact the amount of rightful compensation you may be entitled. Your lawyer will be able to explain if your state is among the medical tort reform states how it may apply to your case.
In most cases, your medical malpractice attorney filing a lawsuit on your behalf may be the only way for victims to recover from their financial burdens and the loss of employment. Without these legal options victims would be left alone to suffer financial, emotional and physical hardship for the remainder of their lives.
