A number of studies in recent decades have identified medical malpractice as a seldom pursued but relatively frequent cause of death and bad outcomes from medical treatment. While those studies may have aged, the art of medicine remains just that—something that relies upon human judgment. Despite all of the advances in medical technology and techniques used by doctors, the number of deaths and bad outcomes from negligent medical care is still largely unknown or perhaps under-reported or under-documented.

 

If Something Seems Wrong With Your Medical Care, then Something Probably Is Wrong

​

The way that we evaluate a medical malpractice case is with common sense. This means that if the result of a medical procedure seems wrong on its face, then it needs to be evaluated for whether it is a case. At Russo Law, our medical malpractice attorneys will take the information that you supply to us and will research the medical issues to make an informed decision on the merits of the case. If the medical research leads to a medical error, then we will look deeper and begin a medical malpractice pre-suit process on your behalf as is required by law.

 

Expert Review Process

​

This process includes the review by a medical professional with the same credentials as the offending provider and a signed affidavit that reasonable grounds to believe that medical malpractice exists. To evaluate a medical malpractice case, we request and review the medical records and spend a tremendous amount of time discussing and vetting our cases to ensure that your medical malpractice case is a winner before it is ever filed. This process is important so that only meritorious cases are brought to court and so that good doctors are not unnecessarily burdened with lawsuits arising from medical care.

 

If You Have a Bad Outcome, You Should Ask Us If It Was Malpractice

​

If you have doubts about whether the medical care that you received was appropriate under the circumstances, there is no shame in seeking professional legal help. Even if you do not have a medical malpractice case, you will likely feel better knowing that you have at least had it reviewed and had the discussion with a medical malpractice attorney. Furthermore, it is important to realize that every bad outcome is not due to medical malpractice and that every medical error does not necessarily cause a bad outcome.
