Can I Sue for Faulty Foot Surgery?

Faulty foot surgery cases vary from one individual to another. However, in most cases, the plaintiff may be able to recover compensation for:

• medical expenses arising from the injury or related complications; 
• cost of medical equipment;
• loss of wages;
• pain and suffering as a result of the faulty foot surgery;
• punitive damages;
• and so on. 

As discussed before, medical malpractice cases are much more difficult to prove. Hiring an experienced medical malpractice attorney is your best bet at winning a faulty foot surgery claim. 

Here's how this attorney can help. 

Evaluating the Case
Even before filing a claim, a medical malpractice attorney will evaluate your case. This process determines whether you have a case against the defendant. If established that there was negligence during or before the foot surgery, it may be necessary to take legal action against the parties responsible.

At Morgan & Morgan, we provide all potential clients with a free case evaluation. If you or your loved one has undergone faulty foot surgery, all you need to do is fill out our free case evaluation form online, and one of our representatives will contact you within 24 hours. 

Collecting Evidence
For a medical malpractice case to proceed to court, it must be evaluated by experts, including the defense. This means that the plaintiff, through their attorney, must collect solid evidence to prove negligence before or during the medical procedure. 

Given that medical malpractice attorneys are familiar with such laws and requirements, they know what qualifies as solid evidence and what may be dismissed by the defense. This makes it easier to focus on the most critical evidence rather than settling on something that makes more sense theoretically but not legally. 

Morgan & Morgan medical malpractice lawyers can help you gather important evidence to prove you had a faulty foot surgery due to someone else's negligence. This is because we are the biggest personal injury law firm in the country and have access to some of the most sophisticated legal resources available.

Once we've established that you have a credible case against the defense, we'll do whatever it takes to collect vital proof that will be nearly impossible to overturn. We'll travel far and wide to interview witnesses, talk to experts, collect necessary paperwork, or anything else it takes to help you win the case. 

Evaluating the Value of a Claim 
There is no standard claim value when it comes to medical malpractice cases. Each claim varies depending on the type and severity of the injury. It takes the experience and knowledge of a medical malpractice attorney to evaluate how much you are entitled to as compensation. 

At Morgan & Morgan, we understand the importance of securing the compensation you need to get on with your life after faulty foot surgery. Our attorneys can help calculate every single penny you deserve as compensation. In addition, we'll pursue every legal avenue possible to maximize your compensation because you don't deserve to suffer due to someone else's negligence.

Arguing Your Case
If the other party's insurance company decides to take the case to court, an attorney can argue your case before the judge or jury. At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys are never afraid to go to court if that's what it takes to get the compensation you need and deserve. In fact, we require our lawyers to pursue a certain number of cases in court every year. 

Expediting the Claims Process
You can count on an attorney's experience to expedite the claims process because they understand how much it means to you. The goal is to ensure that you get the results you deserve at the appropriate time, and that's something an attorney can help you with. 

Saving Your Time
The process of filing a medical malpractice claim, especially for something as complex as foot surgery, can be time-consuming. This is because there's usually a lot of paperwork involved and countless legal hurdles to navigate. The last thing you want, amidst the pain and suffering caused by faulty foot surgery, is to pursue such a claim without help. 

Some victims of medical malpractice abandon their claims halfway through the process out of frustration and exhaustion. Understandably, they find it difficult to balance their injuries and endless battles with the defense. If you or your loved one is in such a situation, you need to talk to a medical malpractice attorney. This attorney will carry the legal burden on your behalf as you focus on recovery.

Beating Deadlines
Personal injury claims are usually time-sensitive. This is because each claim has a statute of limitations, but generally, most states have a three to five-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. This explains why it's crucial to contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney from a respected law firm like Morgan & Morgan. 

Remember, each state has its own rule regarding the exact moment the statute of limitations clock begins to count. In some states, the clock may begin to count when the malpractice occurred. In other states, the countdown starts when the victim of malpractice discovers the harm or malpractice.

However, suppose the treatment was ongoing. In that case, the countdown may not commence until the last day of treatment. 

It's also worth noting that the statute of limitations is not the only deadline you need to worry about. Throughout the course of the claim, you'll encounter various processes, each having a unique deadline. However, you can beat such deadlines with the help of an experienced attorney.
