Medical Malpractice

1. Do I have a case against my doctor or hospital?

Medical malpractice is a fancy name for all of the kinds of errors, negligence, omissions, mistakes, and deviations from accepted practice that doctors and hospitals make.

During your first call to us, we want to hear your story, and based on that we may ask you to come to our office so that we can investigate your case. We will have your hospital records and doctor's records reviewed by our own expert doctors, and we pay for that review. Unlike other larger firms, we guarantee that Mr. Najdovski, with his 20 years of experience litigating these kinds of cases, will discuss your case personally with you.

2. If I start a case, do I have to go to court and how often?

Most cases against a doctor or hospital settle, meaning that you do not have to go through a court trial with a jury. Your lawyer and the insurance company lawyer agree on an amount of money and if you accept it, then the case has just settled. The statistic nationally is about 90%. Most people make the mistake of assuming that they will be dragged into the legal system and lose time away from work. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There are generally 3 times that a client will need to miss work - when court orders physical examination by a specialist in the area of the body that the patient is alleging has been damaged by the medical malpractice, at a deposition, and if the case does not settle (and most do) then at trial.

3. What paperwork do I bring to your office?

None. First and most important is for you to come to our office and tell us what happened before the "cut off time" by which under the Law you must bring that case, otherwise you will forever be barred from bringing it. We will then obtain medical records, run the facts by one of over 80 doctors that we have available in different specialties who will review your case, and we will then advise you whether in our opinion you have a high probability of success in that case.

4. I heard that you actually have to hire a doctor to testify at trial against the doctor we are suing?

Yes. In order to prove that your doctor made a medical mistake, our firm is responsible for obtaining a doctor who will fight for you and testify for you. The individual who becomes your "expert physician" is where many lawyers who have little experience in medical malpractice possibly devalue your case. Our firm has a list of over 80 medical doctors in various specialties that we have accumulated throughout 20 years of law practice.

Some examples of cases against doctors or hospitals are:
  • Failure to diagnose a disease or ailment, which causes you harm or injury
  • Untimely diagnosis of cancer
  • Wrong diagnosis
  • Error in prescribing proper medication
  • Failure to be referred to a specialist
  • Surgery error
  • Unnecessary surgery
  • Adverse drug reaction
