Unlike a car accident, slip and fall, dog bite, or another type of personal injury case, medical malpractice cases are significantly more complex for multiple reasons. Initially, not all personal injury lawyers can handle medical malpractice cases. They require a great deal of knowledge of both the law and medicine. This often means that a victim’s lawyer will need to know both the law better than the other lawyer, and the treatment better than the defendant or the defendant’s experts. As such, victims need to hire a knowledgeable and experienced medical malpractice lawyer.
