How To Document New Haven Medical Malpractice
A medical malpractice scenario is typically complicated and confusing. If you were injured through a surgical error, you may find it difficult or impossible to remember what happened before, during and immediately after the operation. However, reconstructing what happened will be critical to developing a legal case for compensation. A free initial consultation with a lawyer can help determine whether you likely have a case. Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante can help you document instances of medical malpractice in New Haven.
In the aftermath of surgery, as you realize that something went wrong, you can easily become overwhelmed with the task of keeping track of who said what and when. A cloudy memory is to be expected regarding the chronology of your surgery and recovery. Taking notes (or audio notes through your cellphone) and keeping paper records can prepare you to testify with confidence.
