A personal injury lawsuit over healthcare technology errors may be right for you in accomplishing two vital goals: providing fair compensation for you and your family, and encouraging safety incentives for future patients. If you have a potential lawsuit regarding tech disadvantages in medicine, here are some important factors to consider:
Severity of harm: The severity of the harm or injuries caused by medical technology error is a critical factor to consider. Failures that cause significant damage like permanent injury or death merit legal action to seek compensation.
Prevention of future negligence: If the technology error included negligence on the part of the healthcare provider or the technology vendor, holding the responsible party legally accountable may be the only way to prevent future harm to other patients.
Availability of evidence: It is important to gather evidence to support your case, such as medical records, witness statements, and documentation of the technology error. Contact a medical litigation attorney as soon as possible to empower our lawyers to collect evidence on your behalf before it is lost, degraded, or potentially hidden to conceal liability.
Statute of limitations deadline: When considering a lawsuit, be aware that every state has a deadline (statute of limitations) for filing medical injury lawsuits. If you miss this window of opportunity to file, you may lose all rights to the compensation you otherwise could have been entitled to receive.
Financial considerations: Many personal injury lawyers, including the attorneys at Hodes Milman, work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we only get paid if we deliver a win for your case. There is no need to worry if you can’t afford a lawyer upfront — we invest our time and resources into the cases we represent to help alleviate your financial burdens during this difficult time.
Don’t count yourself out before speaking with a medical negligence lawyer. A healthcare provider’s first directive is to “do no harm” — if you have been harmed by a medical technological error, you have the right to seek justice under the law.
