I need a good lawyer to sue a doctor. My husband recently had a heart attack that should have been avoided. We've been going to the doctor, telling him about chest pains and his family history of heart disease. All of our concerns were ignored, and he finally had a severe heart attack. Would this be a personal injury lawyer or a trial lawyer?




Answer:
You will want to consult with a medical malpractice lawyer. These are civil injury and trial attorneys that specialize in medical negligence and medical malpractice cases. Make sure you find an attorney that has handled these types of cases before, because they are very complicated and difficult to resolve successfully.
There is often a lot of money at stake in medical malpractice cases, so the insurance companies involved all have a team of experienced medical malpractice defense attorneys that will fight every claim that comes through. You need an attorney that can investigate and build a bulletproof case in order to force the insurance company to offer a large settlement or face the case in court where awards are regularly excess of one million dollars.
Talk to a Medical Malpractice Lawyer to explain your case and find out if you can file a negligence claim for your husband’s suffering.
Good luck.
