How to Select a Medical Malpractice Attorney in Georgia
If you have been injured due to the negligent conduct of a doctor or hospital, you may be eligible for significant compensation. Your selection of a Georgia medical malpractice attorney for your case is paramount.
Seeking the Services of an Experienced Lawyer
Medical malpractice is a very specific area of personal injury law, and not every personal injury lawyer can handle a medical malpractice suit. It is best to select a lawyer with extensive experience in medical malpractice cases. He or she will be current on all the latest laws and regulations and have experience in litigating medical malpractice cases and in bringing them to trial.
But where do you start? Here are a few tips to consider when choosing a Georgia malpractice attorney.
Obtain a List of Referrals
There are many different sources to find referrals or recommendations for a medical malpractice lawyer:
-
Your local bar association can provide you with the names of Georgia medical malpractice attorneys who specialize in malpractice suits.
-
Ask coworkers and family members you trust if they can recommend a malpractice attorney who has successfully represented them or someone they know.
-
Ask other attorneys for referrals.
- Surf the Internet to compare services among several attorneys in your area, to learn more about their education and experience, and to get a good feel for their personalities.
Narrow Your List and Make Contact
Call the medical malpractice attorneys in Georgia who received the most favorable recommendations and arrange a meeting. Question the attorneys you meet with about their malpractice experience:
- Ask them to provide the names of previous malpractice clients you can contact for additional references.
- Inquire about their general business practices.
- Find out about their experience with medical malpractice cases.
- And finally, inquire about the monetary recoveries they received for their medical malpractice clients.
Pursuing a medical malpractice case can be intimidating. Once you have asked the appropriate questions, you will be in a better position to choose the right malpractice attorney to handle your case.
