Medical Malpractice Resources

I've collected some great informational places to start if you have or suspect you might have a medical malpractice issue that needs to be addressed.

It's been titled, "List of Medical Malpractice Resources"

Now, I'm the last person to advise litigation. I think our society is far too litigation minded as it is. We need less legal nonsense to have a more productive society.

Of course, I know that few people are going to take this advice to heart when comes down to them personally.

But if you find yourself in a grey area, maybe it is better not to push it too much?

Having said all of that, I still created this resource because there are times when it may be necessary. Unfortunately, each person will need to make up their own mind as to where that point is.

Be careful of crafty lawyers out to make money. They have a way of getting the lion's share of settlements. I'm often amazed out how they get away with that.

Those class action suites are seemingly ridiculous a lot of times. YOu see the individuals get a few cents for the settlement, while the lawyer handling the suite gets millions or hundreds of thousands or whatever.

It's crazy. So don't fall victim to all of that.

On the resource page that I've mentioned above, you can also find a link that will get you to the various state boards who can investigate possible medical malpractice issues and they can also discipline the health care practitioner if warranted.

That might be a good first step if you think you have been a victim of medical malpractice.

Think things through and take your time. Don't hurt people irresponsibly. But if you have a legitimate complaint check the resource above for good starting points.
