---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: If I think I have a medical malpractice claim, what should I do?
A: You should talk to an experienced attorney who specializes in medical malpractice as soon as possible. Keep notes on everything that happened, from the onset of the injury or illness. This includes every visit to every doctor or other health care provider seen for the treatment, medicines prescribed, procedures completed, and tests ordered. Try to obtain your medical records and bring them to your first meeting with the malpractice attorney. Waiting too long may release others from any liability due to time limitations in medical malpractice cases.
