Have You Been Injured Due To Medical Malpractice? Are You In Need Of A Lawsuit Loan? (Part 3)

Previously, we defined medical malpractice. Additionally, we identified some of the elements involved in bringing such a claim. The elements identified were necessary to bring a successful action against the provider. The elements identified will also be essential if you wish to obtain a lawsuit loan to assist with that pursuit.

In this article, we will discuss some of the issues that are relevant in bringing a claim for injuries occurring as a result of the provider's negligence. In the next article, we will discuss issues related to claims that are against the institutions in which the services were performed, as well as manufacturers, etc.

To meet that initial threshold, you must first demonstrate that the provider failed to adhere to the standards of care established for providers in the provider specialty. You must also demonstrate that you suffered harm as a result thereof. It is not sufficient, in most instances, that you merely suffered harm. You must also be able to demonstrate that the damages arose out of the provider's negligence. It will actually be a calculation of the extent of damages sustained that will determine the value of your claim. It will also be the amount of the damages calculated that will determine whether you qualify for a lawsuit loan and, if so, how much that will be.

The damages claimed will be reviewed by multiple parties. Your attorney will want to review the records, as well as the damages identified, to determine whether you have a case worth pursuing. To determine whether your opponent agrees with your assessment, it will also be necessary for the defendant to review the damages identified. The payer, in almost all cases an insurance carrier, will also demand to review the damages claimed. If the case proceeds, the judge assigned to your case will review the damages to determine whether the case has sufficient merit to make it to the courthouse. If the case does go to trial, and a jury is requested, it will be the jurors who ultimately determine the amount of damages sustained.

Recordkeeping will be very important in this phase. It will also be likely that you will need to retain a medical expert to credibly review the records and assess the extent of damages arising as a result of the medical malpractice.

It is pain and suffering to which plaintiffs often initially turn their attention. However this is an element that is customarily reserved for the final determination. Typically, the most important elements will involve medical expenses, such as hospital bills, ambulance services, medical supplies, etc.

Other issues may also need to be considered such as lost wages, lost earning capacity, loss of consortium, attorneys fees, court costs, transportation costs, etc. Furthermore, if you sustained permanent injury, you will be required to obtain either an impairment- or disability-rating. These assessments must be made by a licensed and qualified medical provider.

The foregoing are just a few of the issues that must be assessed when filing a medical malpractice claim against the provider. It will be vitally important for you to carefully maintain records with respect to expenses incurred. It will also be vitally important to keep records that clearly identify the procedures performed at the time you were either in a hospital, clinic, or physician's office.

These cases are extremely complex. A medical malpractice attorney experienced in such cases will often play a significant role in whether you're able to succeed in this claim. These cases are often very expensive to bring and, unfortunately, many litigants wind up dropping these cases because they feel as though they don't have the financial-resources to continue. It is unfortunate that many litigants aren't aware of the fact that they may be eligible for a lawsuit loan to permit them to pursue their medical malpractice claim.
