Medical malpractice lawsuits are either tried in court or settled out of court. Reaching a medical malpractice settlement is typically beneficial to both parties because it avoids a lengthy and costly trial. Although a medical malpractice settlement is often preferable, it is not always easy to come by – This is why it’s crucial that you choose an experienced medical malpractice attorney who has a history of successful settlement negotiations.

Burke & Eisner: Medical Malpractice Lawyers

We have successfully negotiated millions of dollars in medical malpractice settlements for our clients in the 15 years since our firm was founded. However, we are experienced litigators as well as negotiators, and when cases have gone to trial, we have worked hard to secure favorable jury verdicts for our clients.

Whether a medical malpractice settlement is reached out of court or a case is tried in court, we strive to ensure our clients are compensated for their:

• Past and future lost wages
• Past and future treatment expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Other damages

Are You Eligible for Compensation?

The best way to determine whether you’re entitled to compensation is to have a medical malpractice attorney evaluate your case. You should have an attorney evaluate your claim as soon as possible after an injury is sustained due to a:

• Surgical error – an instrument or gauze was left in the body, the wrong body part was removed or operated on, etc.
• Laboratory error – an x-ray was misread, biopsy results were misinterpreted, blood samples were mixed up
• Medication mistake – overdose, under-dose, wrong medication was administered
• IV error
• Mistake made during labor and delivery
• Diagnostic or treatment error – cancer was not diagnosed or misdiagnosed, for example
• Other mistake made by a healthcare worker

Individuals with medical malpractice claims only have a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit. Therefore, the sooner you contact a lawyer after you suspect negligence occurred, the better.

If you have a case, the attorney may be able to negotiate a medical malpractice settlement on your behalf. However, it’s possible that your case may end up going to trial if a medical malpractice settlement cannot be reached.
