Medical malpractice attorneys need to have years of experience handling injury cases so that they understand medicine in a way to ask the right questions, get the right experts, and tell your story in an easy-to-understand fashion.   Your medical malpractice lawyer will also need to have built up a war chest from past victories to see your case through to conclusion.  Often times, medical malpractice attorneys will join forces with each other to take on hospitals, physician groups, and even makers of medical devices.
