Review (PDF) Navigating A Medical Malpractice Lawsuit: What You Need To Know (Quick Prep)
Navigating a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit is the ultimate resource for anyone who suspects that he or she has been victimized by medical malpractice. In short order, this easy-to-read and understand book explains what is involved in bringing and successfully resolving a medical malpractice case. The book covers such need-to-know topics as how to identify whether you have a case worth looking into, vital deadlines that must be met, what to look for in a lawyer, assessing your case's value, exercising "the power of no" during settlement negotiations, and the litigation process. Factual accounts of intriguing cases can be found throughout much of the book. They are not only informative, but make for compelling reading. A true story about "doctored" medical records illustrates the lengths to which some providers will go to conceal errors, while another story puts you at the scene of an avoidable birth tragedy. In reading this useful guide, you may very well find a case like yours. About the Author: Howard A. Janet is widely recognized as one of the nation's foremost plaintiffs' medical malpractice attorneys. For more than thirty years he has fought for the rights of victims of negligent health care, winning record-setting verdicts and settlements across much of the country.

I found this easy to read and understand. The examples used to illustrate medical mistakes and how they were uncovered were eye-opening, especially the one about the nurse altering documents and the use of an FBI expert to uncover the fraud. I would recommend this guide for anyone thinking about filing such a lawsuit, or who's already involved in one. The more consumers understand about what's going on the better.
This book would be a tremendous help to anyone who questions the quality of the medical care they (or a loved one) have received, and is unsure whether it merits legal action. Mr. Janet gives critical, credible information in a straightforward, easily understandable fashion. We all need the reality check this book provides. It drives home the point that we are all responsible for advocating for ourselves when it comes to health care, and it prepares us to do so effectively.
