Managing Partner
When doctors and other medical professionals commit malpractice, they often leave victims with serious injuries, steep medical bills, and an inability to work. Victims of medical malpractice deserve to be compensated for their losses. However, they can expect fierce pushback from the attorneys and insurers representing the healthcare professionals.
Having a seasoned medical malpractice lawyer in your corner is critical to making the best possible case for the maximum amount of damages. Find out why so many patients trust the guided legal counsel of Long Island firm Dell & Dean PLLC.
Working With Insurance Companies
The last thing you need to worry about after suffering a medical malpractice injury is the insurance companies. Not only do you not want the stress, but you don’t want to run the risk of saying or doing something that could jeopardize your claim. This is one major area in which a dedicated attorney can assist.
A lawyer can handle all communications with the insurer on your behalf while you recover. Your attorney can also effectively negotiate a settlement on your behalf. Since insurers would prefer to not go to trial, having a Long Island malpractice attorney is invaluable.
Explaining the Most Likely Outcome
You do not want an attorney who is going to sell you unrealistic expectations. You want, and deserve, a lawyer who can objectively review the facts in your case, compare your injuries to those of other malpractice claims, and then provide a realistic estimate of the outcome of your case. This is what you can expect with our firm.
We have extensive experience representing malpractice clients in and around Long Island. We understand how these cases are valued and what the likely outcome of a trial or settlement will be. Armed with this information, we can develop a personalized legal strategy for you.
Knowledge of the Law
Of course, sufficient understanding of New York medical malpractice laws is indispensable to your case. These lawsuits are unique; for example, the plaintiff must file a certificate of merit with the complaint to deter baseless claims. An attorney who has never practiced in this area will be ill-equipped to effectively represent you.
By applying our legal knowledge both in the courtroom and in the conference room, we can represent you through mediation and litigation. This increases the chances of securing a settlement or court judgment that fairly compensates you.
Access to Long Island Medical Expert Witnesses
An expert witness is someone with highly specialized or technical knowledge who can explain complex topics to judges and juries. They are crucial to winning a medical malpractice lawsuit. These experts explain such concepts as the applicable standard of medical care and the details of the procedure that gave rise to the patient’s injury.
Dell & Dean PLLC has a reliable network of expert witnesses who can provide the testimony you need to make a compelling legal case. We can also explain in detail the role these witnesses will provide in your legal matter.
Courtroom Experience
Although many medical malpractice cases settle out of court, there is no guarantee that yours will. If you and the defendant cannot reach a fair settlement then you will need to take your case to trial. Having an attorney with litigation experience will therefore make a difference.
There are various rules that parties must know and be ready to use in the courtroom. These include the rules of civil procedure and the rules of evidence. If you are not prepared to handle and apply these rules, then more experienced attorneys will outmaneuver you.
