Benefits of Having a Medical Doctor on Staff

When you have been injured as the result of medical negligence, you want to have the peace of mind that a reliable, competent legal team is handling your medical malpractice case from start to finish. Because these types of cases so often involve details of medical history, records, and bills, having a physician on staff can be a major benefit to a medical malpractice investigation.

At Lowenthal & Abrams, we believe that our team of experienced Pennsylvania medical malpractice attorneys is made even stronger by having a medical doctor as part of our full-time legal staff.

How Can a Medical Doctor Help with My Case?

When a medical question arises in a case, many law firms simply send their inquiry to an unaffiliated medical consultant and wait to hear back with his or her opinion or interpretation. At Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. we are proud to offer our clients legal and medical expertise all within a single firm. We have a lawyer with a medical degree on our full-time staff to help with complex medical legal issues that may arise in any given case.

Hiring a firm with a medical doctor on staff can help with your case through:

• Immediate medical case review. While most firms must send their medical malpractice cases out to a medical expert to determine if medical negligence occurred, we are able to evaluate your case in-house and determine if you have legal grounds to pursue a medical negligence case.
• Better understanding of medical issues. At other firms, a medical negligence case can be delayed while waiting to hear back from medical experts. Other law firms are limited in their access to medical consultants because of the high demand for their services. We are able to get answers to medical questions immediately without waiting on an outside consultant.
• Knowledge of how medical and legal issues intersect. A medical doctor who is also a lawyer understands the legal framework for medical negligence cases and can evaluate evidence through a combined perspective.
