You go to the doctor’s office or hospital fully expecting your healthcare team to take the best care of you. You never suspect that any of them could be capable of harming you, either intentionally or by accident.
However, when it is clear that you have been the victim of medical malpractice, you need to hire an attorney to represent you and protect your rights as a victim. You can start by retaining one of the North Miami FL medical malpractice lawyers from Buchalter Hoffman & Dorchak today.
Proving Medical Malpractice
Despite being the victim, you bear the burden of proving that someone on your healthcare team harmed you. You could find yourself going up against the medical facility or provider’s extensive legal team that has years of experience defending clients against claims like yours.
You do not have to take on that legal team by yourself, however. Your attorney has the experience and finesse to counter any accusations or blame shifting to you. You avoid being falsely accused of causing your own pain, suffering and physical damage.
Your attorney can also work quickly to secure evidence that you need to prove medical malpractice. He or she can subpoena medical records, x-rays and even testimony from nurses, doctors and others. This evidence can be vital in proving that you were the victim rather than the cause of the medical malpractice.
Taking a Settlement
When confronted with the evidence, the legal team for your healthcare provider could decide to offer you a settlement. You can ensure that any amount that they offer is sufficient for your suffering and expenses. Your attorney can vet the offer and negotiate a better one if it falls short of what you are entitled to under your state’s personal injury laws.
