4 Benefits of Hiring a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Most people don’t deal with lawyers unless they’re doing something “big” – like buying a house or signing an important contract.

If you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, you may not have considered hiring a lawyer. However, if you want to file a malpractice lawsuit, there are several good reasons to hire a lawyer.

These are some of the benefits of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer:

They’ll communicate with insurance companies on your behalf.
They can accelerate the claims process.
They’ll work to get you as significant a settlement as possible.
They have access to resources you don’t.

At Sommers Roth and Elmaleh, our malpractice lawyers have extensive experience with medical malpractice lawsuits.

1. Medical malpractice lawyers will communicate with insurance companies on your behalf

When you file a malpractice lawsuit, communicating with insurance companies can be exhausting. The insurance company may constantly be asking for more and more paperwork, to the point you consider just giving up on your lawsuit because you’re so exhausted.

This is one of the areas where a medical malpractice lawyer can make all the difference. A medical malpractice lawyer will take on the burden of communicating with insurance companies.

Because they are far more experienced at working with insurance companies, they can streamline the paperwork process and let you focus on healing.

2. Lawyers can accelerate the claims process

Another benefit of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is that they can help accelerate the claims process.

Pursuing a lawsuit is not easy, especially if you have no experience with the law or lawsuits.

That’s why hiring a malpractice lawyer is beneficial if you’re filing a malpractice claim. A medical malpractice lawyer knows about all the different aspects of pursuing a lawsuit – such as hiring expert witnesses – which can help make it faster to settle your claim.

3. They will work to get you as big a settlement as possible

Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a “no win, no fee” basis—meaning if they don’t win your case, you don’t owe them anything. There are two reasons this benefits you:

Since lawyers don’t want to argue a case they have no chance of winning, they won’t waste your time or money if you don’t have a strong case.
They are motivated to get you a large settlement as they accept a portion of your settlement as their fees.

You deserve compensation if you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice – and a malpractice lawyer can help ensure you get it.

4. Lawyers have access to resources you don’t

Another benefit of hiring a malpractice lawyer is that they have access to resources you don’t. Malpractice lawyers have an extensive network and can reach out to:

Expert witnesses who can testify on your behalf.
Contacts with large insurance companies they can work with to speed up the process of examining your claim.
Other legal professionals who can provide them with support and guidance as necessary.

There Are So Many Benefits to Hiring a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

There’s a reason lawyers exist – it’s because the legal system is complicated to understand. If you’re pursuing a medical malpractice lawsuit, then you’ll get so many benefits from hiring a malpractice lawyer.

A malpractice lawyer will communicate with insurance companies on your behalf, speed up the claims process, and work to get you a large settlement.

And since malpractice lawyers tend only to get paid if you win your case, you’ll never be out any money whether you win or lose your case.

Dear Mr Hilik Y. And Jeremy Syrtash. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you and Sommers Roth and Elmaleh Professional Corporation staff for all you have done with respect to my wife case. My wife was a victim of Medical Malpractice after giving birth to our daughter. She become legally disabled both physically and mentally. The entire family devastated emotionally as my wife struggle to cope with the new reality. The case of Medical Malpractice is quite often a complex case to prove. However, due to your strong commitment, knowledge and dedication combined with strong professionalism the case was successfully won after a long arduous fight. The victory would not have been possible without your dedication and thorough research in the implementation of the standards of the Sommers Roth and Elmaleh Professional Corporation. Justice prevailed at last which in turn allowed my vulnerable wife to feel more optimistic about her future and that of our family. The positive outcome of this case has changed our lives forever. It would not have been possible without the excellent representation of Sommers Roth and Elmaleh Professional Corporation and its legal counsel. My wife and I will be deeply grateful for the successful outcome of this case for many years to come. Solomon Regassa

I was in a serious horse accident where the horse was injured and should never have been ridden. The owner of the horse was aware that the horse had chronic arthritis issues and the veterinarians at Guelph had told him the horse could decompensate at any time and could cause serious injury whether being led or ridden and could never be jumped again. The horse had been shown at the grand prix level and the owner had payed quite a bit of money for him. After consulting with several lawyers and having one that did represent me at the discoveries who later quit, Jeremy Syrtash took on the case and followed through with guelph university. That is how we found out that the vets had recommended the above. Without Jeremy's efforts and follow through the case would never have continued on. Because of these efforts the case was successful. Thank you so much Jeremy. You are a dedicated, thorough, excellent lawyer and it's been a pleasure to have you as my lawyer!!

We want to start by saying how much we highly recommend Sommers, Roth and Elmaleh for anyone who is dealing with a situation involving medical malpractice. Hilik and the entire firm have allowed us the opportunity to give our little girl the life she deserves. There is no taking back what happened, but they truly turned such a tragedy into a victory. They fought long and hard, and put forth so much time and effort into making the individuals accountable and responsible for the mistakes that were made. They always showed true compassion for our family, guided us with ease, and supported us through every step. This was such a life changing experience with the firm, and honestly we will always be forever grateful and thankful.
