Medical
malpractice cases can be quite complicated and need to be handled
carefully in order to get the compensation you deserve. Clients must
work with their lawyer and follow all the instructions they provide
in order to ensure the case progresses smoothly.
At
Kahn
Roven, LLP, our
lawyers take the time to explain what you should expect from the case
and what steps you need to take in order keep the case on track.
Here’s a list of things you shouldn’t do when you’re involved
in a medical malpractice case:
1.
Hide details from your lawyer
Your
medical malpractice lawyers in Los Angeles
need to have all the information regarding the malpractice suit in
order to build a solid case in your favor. It’s never a good idea
to hide any details regarding the situation from your lawyer as that
can weaken their argument and create a loophole for the opposing
attorney to exploit.
2.
Speak with the lawyer of your opponent
Some
clients speak with the doctor’s or the medical facility’s
attorney before they even hire a lawyer for their case, and that can
be a problem. Even if you don’t have a lawyer, don’t speak or
encourage any attempt at communication from the opposition party
lawyer as that can compromise the case in the long run. Instead of
speaking with the opposing party lawyer, hire your own professional
for the job.
3.
Negotiate without your lawyer present
Don’t
negotiate with the opposing party without your lawyer present. Some
opposition lawyers will attempt to break trust between you and your
lawyer by offering deals or other solutions. It’s never a good idea
to encourage them because that can compromise your case and provide
more leverage to the opposition.
4.
Refuse to grant your lawyer access to the medical records
Medical
records are private and many people hesitate to share them with their
lawyers. However, these records allow the lawyer to get an honest
consultation with a third party medical professional. It’s
important for you to allow your injury attorney in Los Angeles
full access to your medical records related to the case so they can
build a strong argument.
