Do You Have A Case? A Patient's Guide to Virginia Medical Negligence Law

You need to understand the essential elements of a medical malpractice case so that you can evaluate your own case. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your case will help you to differentiate between attorneys who are being straightforward, and those just trying to get your business.

A frivolous case will cost you time, money, and a lot of heartache. You are better off knowing immediately if your case is missing an essential element. No one, including you and the attorney you hire, will benefit from pursuing a case that lacks merit.

This book will describe:

The characteristics of a good medical malpractice case
How to hire the right attorney to investigate your medical malpractice claim
Case investigation
Myths of a Virginia medical malpractice case
What to expect during your lawsuit

All medical malpractice victims should request a complimentary copy of this book prior to agreeing to any settlement with the hospital and its insurer or before hiring an attorney. This book is a must read!
