Maybe. The fact that you have suffered an injury does not necessarily mean that the doctor committed malpractice. Sometimes you can get injured even if a doctor uses all appropriate care. When we evaluate malpractice cases, we first look to see how badly injured someone is. When you speak with an attorney, you should be ready to talk about what effect the pain has on your life and what treatment you have received to reduce your pain. You should also have an idea of your medical bills and lost wages caused by your injury. If we think there are enough damages to investigate a case then we will look at your actual medical records to see if your injury resulted from malpractice or was a bad result from a properly performed procedure.
