3 Things You Can Expect When Filing A Connecticut Medical Malpractice Case

If you recently experienced medical treatment and believe that the standard of care was not met by those that were treating you, you may have a Connecticut medical malpractice case, but what exactly does that mean?

There are a wide variety of medical malpractice cases that can be filed and each type of case is different, but all must demonstrate that the provider deviated from the standard of care and caused permanent damage.  While every case is different there are some steps along the way that you will likely experience if you do end up going forward with a case.  They include;

1. You will need to obtain copies of all of your medical records.
2. A detailed legal and medical investigation by our doctor/attorney Robert Messey, MD, JD and our nurse/attorney Gayle Sullivan, RN, JD.  This is a critical step in the process to ensure that you not only have legal standing, but also that the malpractice occurred as well.
3. Once the insurance companies are notified they may present an offer for a settlement, in consultation with our legal team you would need to decide whether to take the settlement or take the case to trial.

There are a lot of details in a Connecticut medical malpractice case that need to be considered when deciding which direction to go.  Working with a legal team to help you decide what is right in your case may make a lot of sense.
