Understanding How Your Medical Malpractice Trial Works

wpadmin June 8, 2017

Judge Writing On Document With Mallet And Stethoscope At DeskThe trial process in medical malpractice cases can sometimes be a complicated thing, adding stress to your already-stressful case. By helping you understand each stage in your medical malpractice lawsuit, you can better prepare for the future and what to expect in your claim. We understand your claim is important to you and we will help you every step of the way.

Preparation for Your Trial 

When trial is set to begin, many things will happen. Both parties will begin speaking to medical witnesses that can be useful for testimony in your case. In many cases involving malpractice, physicians will come to the rescue to speak on your behalf and show how the defendant breached the standard duty of care. Witnesses will be able to show the court how injuries affect your everyday life and how you function ever since your case of malpractice.

The Trial 

The jury will be selected for the case. The defendant will attempt to dissolve your case through their opening statement, but your trial will move forth. Your attorney will represent you in your case by showing what the doctor should have done, show that the doctor breached the duty of care, and that you suffered damages as a result. It could take anywhere from days to weeks to resolve your case, because witnesses will be called to the stand and cross-examination will occur. After this, the deliberation will occur and the judge will read you the verdict of your case.

Many Cases Ending in Settlement 

Settlement of your medical malpractice claim is something that can happen at anytime throughout the process, even in the midst of trial. The majority of these cases will be resolved before trial even takes place. You may be surprised to find that only 7% of cases will go to trial and receive a verdict in front of a judge. You have the right to appeal your case when the judgment is entered. Speak to us today about your options if you have been injured due to somebody’s medical negligence and need our help.

Beyond impressed! I had been self represented through years of family law and child support court hearings and was so hesitant to hire an attorney out of fear and trusting that they would appropriately represent myself and child. After tons of research I contacted Ms. Azizi. I immediately was greeted by Lorenzo, the Office Administrator, who made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He assisted in making communication seamless and effortless and walked me through each step of the process. Ms. Azizi heard my concerns and was extremely sensitive to the matter of FAMILY. The team did an amazing job with discovery and building a strong case that gave me confidence and I was successful in coming to an agreement with the other party, in what has yet to have been the easiest hearing of all, thanks to them. Ms. Azizi settled my case after years of stress and agony. I am grateful for finding the team and Ms. Azizi and definitely recommend them for any of your legal needs!

This law firm is the best! They have helped me so much with my Divorce and Criminal cases and I really wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have them to represent me. Lorenzo and Ro are awesome and are there to help at all times. My attorney was Mr.Edmondson and he has been amazing. This law firm is truly great and I will never go to any other one. Their responses are quick and will answer any questions you might have.

Seven stars. I had planned to put up my reviews after my final judgment but after the first hearing, couldn't wait, and I would write this whatever the outcome of my difficult case. Soheila was simply amazing in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so taken care of. I chose her for her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments, her compassion, and her smarts. I can't imagine what other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a legal session. And I later saw how keen she'd been in her advice. I've been deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my child as if he were their own. They in particular have treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to each client, humble, and sweet. She has slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.
