Looking for the best medical malpractice attorney Utah has to offer? Need a firm of medical malpractice lawyers that can wade through the medical jargon and court process? Not sure if you even have a malpractice case?

Is a nursing home abuse attorney the same as a work injury attorney? You need the “Good Attorney” law firm and a medical malpractice attorney, not just any injury lawyer Utah may have.

Medical malpractice is one of the hardest cases to win for the average attorney not especially skilled in this area of law. The hospitals and doctors have huge multi-million-dollar law firms paid for by the insurance companies. They will often try and get you to sign something waiving your right to a hearing before a judge and jury. They may tell you that the “mediation” paper you sign as a new patient is “no big deal” and “everyone signs them.”

You need to read those papers carefully! What they are really saying is you agree that if something goes terribly wrong, not only will you not sue the doctor or practice, you can’t sue them! You are signing that you agree to have a mediator that the medical practice hires hear your complaint. How many of those do you think rule in favor of the patient?

During a medical crisis, there are so many more things to think about other than liability or who is going to pay for what. A patient may be fighting for their life, or sadly, their life may have ended because of someone’s carelessness. The hospital is well prepared for that situation and have hospital administrators who are very concerned and sad and also show up with a ton of paperwork at the worst possible time!

We always advise signing nothing until you speak to an attorney. If you or a loved one is in this situation, call us and we will come to you. Once a medical practice, physician, or hospital knows there is an attorney involved, those administrators with the paperwork often quietly disappear.

If what the hospital or their insurance company if offering is fair and just, that offer will still be there. There is no reason to have to sign anything in the middle of a medical emergency. If it is not fair and just, our law firm will make sure that you will be awarded what is fair and just. Often we can do this during a meeting with the insurance company or the medical review board. Hospitals and doctors do not want lengthy, public trials.

However, if it looks like the doctor or hospital is going to try and weasel their way out of paying what they owe, our attorneys are ready and able to take the case all the way to judge and jury. We have access to medical experts who can look at the medical charts, notes and diagnosis’ and break them down into simple language that a jury of your peers will understand.

Often, the hospital will put expert witnesses on the stand who sound very professional and knowledgeable but most people don’t know what they are talking about. At the “Good Attorney” we use experts who are trained in talking to the lay person abut complex medical issues.
