It is very important to have an attorney in a medical malpractice case.
You want to make sure you are able to claim all of the damages you are legally entitled to recover as a result of malpractice.
Some of the damages that may be available include past pain and suffering, future pain and suffering, future lost wages, future medical bills, and past medical bills.
If a death is involved, you may also be able to claim the pain and suffering of family members.
In other situations, you may be able to claim the pain and suffering experienced by the person who passed away before their death.
An attorney is the one who knows which damages apply to your specific case and how to properly pursue them.
That is why it is so important to have a lawyer in a medical malpractice case.
