Purpose of Malpractice Laws
We believe that legitimate medical malpractice claims help maintain the high quality of medical care that a patient has a right to expects. People are more careful when they are held accountable for their actions. Doctors, hospitals, nurses and pharmacists are not different. Just the threat of someone calling attention to their work makes them more likely to treat their patients competently. The Villari law firm believes that it helps maintain our health care standards by getting Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland and Washington D.C. medical malpractice victims the compensation they deserve.

Expert Witness
An expert witness in a medical negligence case is a doctor who specializes in the same area of medicine as the person responsible for allegedly committing medical malpractice. This witness may be called upon to testify in court about mistakes that were made in your treatment which caused you to be injured. Expert witnesses also help us review potential claims to determine whether a mistake occurred that injured you. In most instances, the law requires that medical malpractice victims retain duly qualified experts to support their claim before a medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed in court, otherwise the case can be thrown out of court. Given this strict requirement, based on the extensive experience and significant professional contacts of the medical malpractice lawyers at our law firm, our clients are able to consistently have the advantage of our ability to retain only the most highly qualified and respected medical experts to review the claims and testify about the asserted malpractice.

Legal Procedures
In a typical medical malpractice case, you must prove four facts:

• That the doctor, nurse or hospital was responsible for providing your care:

• That the doctor, nurse or hospital failed to provide a level of care consistent with accepted medical standards or rules:

• That the doctor, nurse or hospital caused the injury as a result of the sub-standard care: and

• The level of injury and amount of damages that occurred as a result of the sub-standard care.

Hints
Don’t jump the gun. Once in awhile, a doctor will admit to making a mistake, but that doesn't mean that you've instantly won your case. You and your attorney still have to prove that the mistake caused your injury. We can help you make this important determination.

Organize yourself. Save all your prescription bottles and list the names of all your doctors and hospitals, the reason you received treatment, and the month and year of your treatment.

Stay composed. Avoid discussing your case with anyone, including your doctors. Your words can come back to haunt you. Stay composed by realizing that when the time is right you will get a chance to tell your story.
