Should You Handle Your Own NY Medical Malpractice Case? Attorney Gerry Oginski Explains

http://www.oginski-law.com

You have been injured in New York and you want to bring a lawsuit. You are seriously considering handling the case on your own. You've heard that the attorney will get a fee and you would much rather have that fee to yourself. That's reasonable.

However, before making that decision, you should consider the following things:

Make sure you know how to properly evaluate your case. You need to know whether you can prove liability, causation and damages. In a medical malpractice lawsuit in NY, you must have a medical expert confirm each of those elements before you are permitted to file your lawsuit.

Do you know how to prepare a summons and complaint? Do you know how to purchase an index number? Do you know how to serve the papers upon the people you are suing? Do you know what a notice of medical malpractice action is?

Do you know how much time the defendants have to answer your complaint and what to do if they do not timely answer? Do you know what a preliminary conference is and what do once you attend?

Are you familiar with the documents that are disclosed during discovery? Do you know how to conduct a deposition and what objections to raise? Do you know how to prepare your case for trial? Are you familiar with the procedures necessary to oppose a motion for summary judgment?

Do you think you could try your case successfully?

If you are seriously considering handling your case on your own, I suggest you watch this video.
