Most evidence in a medical malpractice case begins with the medical records. One thing that makes medical malpractice cases unique is that the evidence is logged in records that are, for the most part, kept contemporaneously. Usually, these records contain many of the red flags that doctors ignored, failed to appreciate, or didn't even read, long before a preventable event occurs. Therefore, in order to have your case reviewed for medical malpractice, it is best to work on obtaining copies of the records right away.
