We begin every case by evaluating your medical records and speaking to medical experts. These medical experts can provide evidence about how a reasonable doctor would have reacted to your symptoms—and compare that standard to how your family doctor reacted. Medical malpractice cases require that we prove the elements of malpractice by a preponderance of the evidence. This means that we must show that it was more likely than not that your doctor’s actions amounted to malpractice.
