From the supplier: Attorneys deciding whether to represent a victim of alleged medical negligence should thoroughly investigate the facts of a case with the help of a medical expert and then consider the pros and cons of accepting the case. Red flags in a case may include a highly respected defendant, a case involving a medical subspecialty with a dearth of qualified expert witnesses, the locality rule, minimal damages and a bad result which would not be obvious to laymen. Positive factors include factual situations which would appear clearly negligent to a lay jury, misdiagnosis and a defendant who is a poor witness of has a bad reputation.
