Medical Malpractice Attorney Tips
Serving Buffalo, New York
If you believe you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice in the Niagara or Buffalo, or New York state area, there are many steps you can take to validate your suspicions, preserve potential evidence and ultimately help prove your case in court.
- Read the “What Must I Prove” page on this website. It explains the difference between medical malpractice and legitimate mistakes a physician or nurse can make that would not qualify as negligence.
- If you still think you’re a victim of malpractice, contact our Buffalo office immediately. The personal injury lawyers of John Feroleto Attorneys at Law can guide your actions during this critical time to help protect your rights.
- Gather copies of all medical records, charts, reports and correspondence regarding the medical care in question. These records must be made available to you upon request.
- Give copies of all the records to your personal injury attorney. They will need to be read and studied in detail by medical experts to determine if there is reason to believe malpractice took place.
- Schedule a follow-up meeting with our attorneys to go over all of the information in your medical files and discuss the specifics of your case in more detail.
- If it appears that there is solid evidence to support your claim, all the additional research and work will be done and the lawsuit will be filed.
Medical malpractice is an extremely serious matter and it can be very difficult to prove. Because of this, you will need to prepare yourself for a long and arduous fight. However, if medical malpractice did occur and it can be proven, you will be entitled to recovery for damages including:
- Current and future medical bills
- Current and future lost wages
- Pain, suffering and disability
