A serious injury or illness is frightening enough. When treatment such as surgery, medication or therapy goes wrong and the medical condition becomes worse because of a medical error, the situation can become downright terrifying. Even more frightening, when the mistake was the result of negligence by a medical provider, it is hard to know where to turn.
This scenario is so hard for patients and their loved ones because of the profound anxiety and uncertainty they experience. They wonder if they can ever recover, work again, or enjoy life as they once did. Even worse, they may be grieving the loss of a loved one who died because of medical negligence. People who try to work things out directly with their physicians, hospitals or other providers find themselves stymied at every turn by legal arguments and denials of responsibility. They realize quickly that the provider’s lawyers are trying to protect their clients from having to pay compensation for an injured patient’s damages.
That is why it is so critical to have legal help by your side as you try to find out what happened and how you can obtain justice. The providers have many attorneys to protect their interests (and bottom line). You should have the same—an attorney who understands what happened to you and the steps you can take to obtain compensation for your injuries, expenses and losses.
