When you visit your doctor, you expect that you will be provided with professional care. Sadly, that’s not always the case. In fact, there are times when your doctor’s negligence causes you severe and sometimes even fatal harm.
If a medical care provider’s failures caused you to suffer damage, you need to understand your legal options. An Evanston medical malpractice attorney at Gill Ports Hoste LLC can help you to gather evidence, review the facts of your claim, and navigate the justice system to fight for full and fair compensation from those who hurt you.
To find out more about how our experienced firm can help you recover payment for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages your doctor caused you to endure, give us a call or contact us online today.
What does an Evanston medical malpractice lawyer do?
After a doctor harms you, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you navigate the justice system. Some of the different ways our legal team advocates for you include:
- Working with you to identify defendants. Many medical professionals, from doctors to surgeons to dentists to pharmacists, can be held liable for your losses if they provide substandard care. Vicarious liability rules may also mean their employers share the blame. We’ll help you identify all defendants to maximize the available insurance.
- Gathering evidence to build your claim. You must prove the doctor fell short of fulfilling their obligations. Generally, this means demonstrating that a reasonably competent doctor with similar training and experience wouldn’t have made the same error. We’ll help you obtain medical records, witness statements, and testimony from experts to show your doctor was to blame.
- Negotiating a settlement or going to court. Malpractice insurers will sometimes settle claims outside of court. Our firm has strong negotiating skills, and insurers know we won’t back down, which can increase the likelihood of a settlement offer. We are also skilled litigators who are ready to present evidence in a trial if necessary to help you get full compensation.
From day one, we’ll work to strengthen your claim and to make strategic legal decisions that increase your chances of getting the funds you need to move forward.
