Medical Malpractice Up Close
Medical malpractice involves negligence by a medical professional. When such a professional does something that falls below the accepted standards that they are supposed to follow, that departure from the generally accepted standards is called negligence, or malpractice. To prove a case for malpractice, your medical malpractice lawyer must establish that your doctor or health care provider failed to uphold the acceptable standard of care. They must also prove that serious damage, such as a severe injury, occurred as a result.
To be successful in malpractice cases requires skill, experience, insight, perseverance, commitment and resources. These cases are hard-fought, but attorney Strauss knows how to fight them. He makes use of appropriate medical experts in their fields to file affidavits of merit. He also uses medical expert testimony to prove our cases. Our lawyer is used to fighting these battles and has been doing so for nearly 40 years. For a sampling of the types of medical negligence cases he has handled and the results he has achieved, please take a look at our list of verdicts and settlements.
