Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
The first thing you should know is that you have only one year to act on a medical malpractice case. That is one year from the date you last saw the doctor, or the date you discovered the malpractice. If you think you have a malpractice case, see a lawyer immediately.

You may have a malpractice case, if a health care professional, such as a doctor, failed to timely diagnose a condition, such as a heart condition, cancer, or other illness, and you can prove there was a chance an earlier diagnosis made a difference. You may also have a malpractice case if a doctor, nurse, dentist, chiropractor, or podiatrist carelessly performed a procedure or surgery.

The only way to determine if you have a case is for your lawyer to obtain all your medical records and have them reviewed by a competent doctor or other health care professional. With rare exception, you will not have a case unless you have a health care professional who is willing to testify for you.

If he feels there is a potential case, Rick. Topper will have your records reviewed by competent professionals to determine whether you have a case.

You may hear of a medical malpractice case a friend or neighbor has. Please do not criticize them for pursuing their case. Good doctors make errors that can horribly affect a person's life. If suit has been filed, their attorney most likely investigated the case thoroughly. Support them in their efforts to pursue justice.
