Filing the Medical Negligence Lawsuit
The court filing of a claim for medical negligence normally occurs after hours and weeks of law firm research, review, and preparation. Initially, a potential plaintiff, or injured party, will contact a law office to discuss whether or not they may have a viable claim. With personal injury, initial contact from an injured party will typically be fielded by a legal assistant or paralegal with experience evaluating the merits of a potential case. He or she will interview the caller, take notes, and ask pertinent questions regarding the circumstances of the injury. Essential information will also be noted regarding ongoing health issues that have persisted since the purported negligent event.
