Most of the time, doctors are trustworthy and provide excellent medical advice. However, doctors are people, too. They make mistakes, and when it comes to your health, mistakes are unacceptable. If you think you may be a victim of medical malpractice, we can help. Read on to discover a few signs you have a medical malpractice case.
Your Treatment Isn’t Helping
When your doctor puts you on a plan to help with an ailment, following that plan should show you results. They recommend medication, surgery, and physical therapy. If your condition isn’t getting any better, that tells us that your doctor may not have analyzed your situation correctly and may have put you on a useless treatment plan. If that’s the case, contact an attorney to find out if you have a case.
The Treatment Plan Doesn’t Make Sense
Whether your doctor suggests aggressive surgeries to combat a simple problem or neglects to offer adequate treatment for a serious ailment, you may have a malpractice case. You know your body better than anyone—if something feels off about your treatment plan, let a lawyer know immediately.
There’s No Follow-Up
Everyone deserves a certain amount of attention from their doctor. Sometimes, when you get your diagnosis and respond with questions, a doctor will not respond or provide you with enough information. If that happens to you, contact your lawyer. You deserve to be taken seriously and to understand every aspect of your treatment.
You Get a Different Second Opinion
Getting second opinions is a common practice when finding the best healthcare. However, if the doctor with the second opinion finds something your first doctor omitted, that may be a sign that your first doctor didn’t complete their job properly.
