Information and Insight for Injured Iowans

     There are many factors that should be considered when deciding on a medical malpractice attorney. Some factors can be evaluated on paper while others can only be judged in person. After making a list of potential attorneys, comparing their written materials, and narrowing down the list, the final step is meeting with the few attorneys left on that list. 

     Call each of the offices on your short list of potential attorneys and schedule an appointment to speak with an attorney. There is absolutely no substitute for sitting down with an attorney to determine if he or she will be a good fit for you. In order for an attorney to represent you well, you have to be comfortable with the attorney and trust him or her. In addition to your general feeling about each attorney, it is also important that you ask each of them the right questions. 

     We have written a free 35-page guide for medical malpractice victims, which can be ordered at Iowa Malpractice Facts.  It contains some questions you should ask about the prospective attorney’s experience in medical malpractice claims.
