Free Medical Legal Review For Medical Malpractice Claims

One of the main question that arises during a medical malpractice case is whether or not the case can be proven to the degree that the jury will award compensation in a civil verdict or the other side will offer a reasonable settlement. It is important to understand what can be proven as a legal matter at the beginning of a case. The same standard applies regardless of whether the medical professional who made the mistake was a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, midwife, specialist, or other medical practitioner, as well as a hospital or other medical facility. It is critical for everyone involved in the legal action to understand the facts that contributed to the harm suffered by a patient or individual seeking medical assistance as early in the process as possible. This is why Stern Law, PLLC conducts a Medical Legal Review at the beginning of each case.

The Benefits of a Medical Review

There are many questions that a person faces after suffering a horrific injury due to medical malpractice.

A Medical Legal Review can provide the answers to some of these questions, including:

• How could a mistake like this have happened?
• Who is responsible for all the medical bills that I have incurred as a result of this mistake?
• How will I obtain the resources that I need for long-term care?
• Could the doctor have taken a different action that would have prevented the harm that was done to me?

A Medical Legal Review can provide the information that is necessary to develop the roadmap for solutions to addressing the harm that was done by a medical professional. A Medical Legal Review is performed after a person has retained the Stern Law, PLLC to represent his legal interests and signed an engagement letter, agreeing to Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer. This review is based on an analysis of medical records and the patient’s history and is intended to provide information and answers. It is up to the person who has been harmed and his or her family to determine how to use this information. Although Stern Law will provide suggestions based on the determinations that arise as part of the Medical Legal Review, the final decision is up to the person who was injured.

How is a Medical Legal Review Conducted?

At Stern Law, PLLC we have brought together a team of doctors, nurses, and attorneys to perform a thorough review of the events that culminated in harm to a person who had sought medical care with the belief that he would receive the appropriate standard of care. The review is intended to make an initial determination of whether or not there was a breach of that standard. Our medical and legal team are very experienced in assessing the likelihood that there was a preventable error and was ultimately should be held accountable for the harm.

The Medical Legal Review considers the following questions:

• Did a person suffer an injury as the result of receiving some type of medical care, treatment, surgery, or other medically-related event?
• Was there a failure to conduct appropriate tests or diagnostic exams?
• Was there a failure to interpret tests or diagnostic reports properly?
• Did a doctor fail to prescribe the right medication, prescribe it in the wrong dose, or prescribe the wrong medication?
• Did a doctor fail to respond promptly to changes in a person’s medical condition?
• Did a doctor take inappropriate actions in response to a medical emergency?
• Was there a wrong site surgery, where the doctor operated on the wrong organ or limb, or operated on the wrong patient?
• Was medical equipment used inappropriately?
• Was medical equipment maintained improperly, leading to harm during its use?
• Was a doctor or other medical professional hired without the appropriate skills and training for the position for which he was hired?
• Did the doctor inform the patient about all relevant and reasonable alternatives to the procedure or form of treatment that resulted in harm to the person?

These are just some of the questions that the medical and legal team will consider in order to determine whether or not the harm that was suffered by a person likely was the result of a preventable medical error. If there was negligence, it is possible to recover damages that will cover medical expenses, lost wages, adaptive and/or assistive technologies, miscellaneous related expenses, and pain and suffering. This compensation is critical to dealing with the long-term consequences of a medical mistake.
