Medical Malpractice, Estate Planning, Contract Review, and Disability Insurance Lawyers
When you seek legal help, you don’t want to hire your friend or cousin unless they specialize in what you need. Your goal should be to find someone that is competent, experienced, and a good fit. Verify they're in good standing with the bar and that the task you need is what they spend the majority of their time doing. Like with a financial advisor or a doctor, there is some value to a few gray hairs. Someone who has already done this hundreds of times is usually going to be more efficient and make fewer mistakes. You also want someone that you can relate to and enjoy working with. Ideally, they have worked with a lot of people in your particular situation. This can be a tricky ask and WCI is here to help.
Firms listed here are paid advertisers on the site but have all been vetted by WCI and your fellow readers and specialize in the services they offer.

It is imperative that before you file a claim you take into consideration the 8 steps recommended here and hire an experienced disability attorney who can review your policy and your medical records and identify any areas where your claim might be lacking.

Medical Malpractice Lawyer for Physicians
Choose a personal injury attorney with a lot of experience in medical malpractice. Your consultation is usually free. Most of the time they can tell you within a half hour whether you have a reasonable case or not. Since they'll probably be taking it on contingency, if they're not willing to take it, that tells you a lot about the merits of your case and the likely outcome. If they can't make $25K+ out of a quick settlement or $100K+ out of a full trial, they're not going to take your case. Resist the urge to go to a less qualified attorney willing to take the case. Hiring a crummy attorney is not likely to improve your outcome.
