MORRIS-SOCKLE
ATTORNEYS FOR MEDICAL RESPONSIBILITY

The first, and hardest, question clients ask is, "Do I have a claim?" That question often cannot be answered until after months of detailed investigation and research by your Medical Malpractice Lawyer and their staff. Severe injury or death during medical care are not always the result of medical negligence. Some bad results can arise from inherent risk, not malpractice.

Your claim must be based upon proven acts or omissions of the licensed health care provider that fall below the Standard of Care required of such a provider. Also, you must prove that the specific violation of the Standard of Care was the proximate cause of your claimed injuries.

The legal Burden of Proof is on you, the injury victim. The law does not require the health care provider to prove that they are innocent. The law requires that you prove the provider was guilty of negligence. You only have a valid claim if you can prove that the provider breached the Standard of Care and that the breach was the proximate cause of your injuries.

These are complicated and complex legal issues. If you think you may have a claim for medical negligence injuries, contact a lawyer that limits his practice to investigating and evaluating medical malpractice claims. Call Jeanne Sockle .
