Why Should You Hire a Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical Malpractice has strict Statutes of Limitations that must be complied with (they vary from state to state).  Failure to comply with the applicable Statute of Limitation can result in your case being dismissed.
  • Access to Resources: An experienced medical malpractice attorney can access resources such as expert witnesses and medical specialists who will review all medical records associated with your case. Such resources can help to strengthen your case. Testimony from said experts can also be taken.
  • Excellent Negotiation and Litigation Tactics: An experienced attorney can help negotiate settlements out of court if appropriate and continue to litigate aggressively if negotiations fail. 

Legal Standard for Establishing Medical Malpractice

The legal standard for establishing medical malpractice is generally based on the concept of professional medical standards and negligence. Professional medical standards refer to the protocols and practices a healthcare provider should follow to ensure patient safety. The standards may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Negligence is established when it can be shown that a healthcare provider failed to meet those  certain standards of care. It must also be proven that an injury was caused by the healthcare provider's actions or failure to act appropriately.

My mom was struck by yellow taxi back in 2016, she was severely injured. I had the good fortune of being referred to Evan Ross by an acquaintance who had been represented by him in an auto accident. I am happy to say that my mom's case settled recently for much more than we expected and she did not even have to appear in court. We are very grateful to the staff and to Mr. Ross for his unwavering support during this very troubling period. I highly recommend this firm.

As a defense attorney I have had the privilege of opposing Evan many times in the past 20 years. I can say with certainty he has the rare ability to be a formidable adversary and a zealot advocate for his injured clients while still practicing law like a gentleman. That combination has allowed him to obtain the highest verdicts and settlements possible for his clients.

My family has used Evan for as long as I can remember. He is one of the best personal injury attorneys we have came across. I cannot recommend Evan more. He is kind, caring, and compassionate with me every time; his attention to detail and response times with updates on my cases always left me feeling impressed. Thank you Evan!
