Preparing Your Case
Once you meet with our team and we decide your case has potential, we’ll start preparing your case by collecting your medical records and consulting medical experts. It’s helpful if you can make a list of all of the doctors and hospitals that were involved in your treatment, along with the dates of treatment. Also, keep copies of any paperwork you received from any of these healthcare providers.
Another aspect of preparing your case involves evaluating your healthcare provider’s education, experience, credentials, and lawsuit history. The Connecticut Department of Public Health offers a complete physician profile on doctors who are licensed in the state. In Connecticut, the physician profile contains information about the doctor’s education, post-graduate training and residency, disciplinary actions, and malpractice payment history, if applicable.
Expert Opinions
Prior to filing a lawsuit, Connecticut law requires us to obtain a written opinion on your claim from a medical expert. This opinion will be used as evidence of medical negligence and must be written and signed by a healthcare provider of a similar practice as the healthcare provider who may have caused you harm.
Our Connecticut medical mistake attorneys have an extensive network of medical experts whom we can consult to determine if your case has merit. Medical malpractice cases are very complex and because we are required to hire medical experts, they can be expensive to pursue. At Carter Mario, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no attorney’s fees unless there is a settlement or judgment in your favor.
Statute of Limitations
We also are required to file a lawsuit within the Statute of Limitations. In Connecticut, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury. If you think you have a claim, don’t wait to call us. A thorough investigation is critical to any malpractice case, and it may take months to complete.
