What to Bring to a Medical Malpractice Consultation

Here are a few things to consider when trying to prove fault in a slip and fall case.

The first thing you should do if you think that you were the victim of medical malpractice is to consult a lawyer. The reason you need to see a lawyer before trying to file a claim is that they will make sure that you have sufficient evidence to present in a way that will help you win the case. Going to a medical malpractice consultation can be overwhelming, but it is a vital step in navigating a medical malpractice case. Here are some things that you should prepare for your consultation.

Documents

First, you need to make sure that you get together all of the relevant documents that you can. This can include medical records and correspondence with your doctor and insurance, as well as your health insurance documentation and medical bills. If you had the opportunity to take photos of your injuries then that is even better. If you’re not sure which documents pertain directly to your injury, then it’s better to bring everything you can. The more information you have the better. A paper trail is often the best proof in determining the types of damages you’re entitled to, such as loss of income or diminished quality of life.

Detailed Account

Because bringing as much information as possible is imperative to the success of your case, it’s important to try to remember everything you can about the incident. Some lawyers will only accept a written statement or a verbal one, however you can write down the details for yourself in order to make sure that you didn’t forget anything. Details are key when it comes to discussing the incident that led to your injuries. If you remember noticing anything about your doctor or the hospital room you were in, then it’s worth mentioning even if you’re not sure if that detail is important. Chances are your gut will tell you when something didn’t seem right, so you don’t want to miss out on giving your lawyer plenty of information to use.

Health Care Summary

If you suffered an injury from medical negligence, then you have probably seen more than one health care provider either for a second opinion or further treatment.It’s important to keep track of all of your medical records, because even seemingly-unrelated health issues that occurred after your injury could be further proof. By having a way to track how your condition worsened after a medical malpractice incident, your lawyer will have material to make a case in your favor. By the end of your consultation, make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions, whether it’s about the strength of your claim or the success rate of similar cases. It’s always best to leave every doubt on the table before proceeding with such an involved legal process.
