Using Experts in a Medical Malpractice Claim

Answer:

You may be wondering, “How will I know if we have a viable or provable medical malpractice claim?” We’re not going to know that until we obtain all the medical records. What happens is we get all those records, we review them, and then we will have them reviewed by experts. We have a number of experts that we use right here in the Clearwater community, and all across the United States that we rely on to help us review the case. We have to establish, by the greater weight of the evidence, that there was a breach of professional standard of care that, more likely than not, caused injuries and damages due to that medical malpractice.
We’re going to be focused on those medical records, and we’re going to be looking at those records extremely carefully along with our experts to determine if there was indeed a breach of that prevailing standard of care. The records are extremely important in determining if indeed there is a sustainable, provable, and winnable medical malpractice case.
