Re: Malpractice
The questions in medical malpractice are: 1) did the doctor who misdiagnosed you act in a way that was negligient....below what a reasonably competent physician would have done? 2) If so, did his or her negligience direcctly cause you injury? 3) If so, how significant was the harm?
I typically do not take medical malpractice cases unless the harm is permanent and extremely significant. The reason for this is that med mal cases are terribly expensive (paying doctors to review files and testify) and very difficult to win.
