Medical Malpractice Attorney in Reno

In Reno, Nevada, state laws allow you to file a claim for compensation if you or a loved one has experienced medical malpractice. However, pursuing compensation for medical malpractice in Nevada is much more difficult than other claims. Part of the reason such claims are complex is that they tend to have a higher burden or proof.

This means that claimants or plaintiffs must ensure that their case meets the elements of a medical malpractice claim. Even before they can sue, plaintiffs must also obtain an "Affidavit of Merit" in Reno or elsewhere in Nevada where they believe the malpractice occurred. Don't forget that these cases are time-sensitive, meaning you only have a limited time to take action, or you'll lose your right to sue.

FAQ

What's an Affidavit of Merit?

An Affidavit of Merit is a document required in Nevada to initiate a medical malpractice lawsuit. It typically involves obtaining a sworn statement from a qualified medical expert, verifying that the case has merit, meaning you likely have a valid reason to take legal action and that there's evidence of negligence.

What Damages Can I Recover if I Win?

If you win a medical malpractice case, potential recoverable damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other related costs. Note that each case is unique, and the specific damages depend on the details of your case. That's one of the things we might be able to help you figure out when you contact us for a no-cost case evaluation.

How Much Is My Case Worth?

The value of a medical malpractice case varies from case to case. Factors that could influence the value of your claim include but are not limited to the following:

the extent of injuries suffered;
financial losses incurred;
the strength of the evidence against the party you believe was at fault; and
whether you were also partially at fault

To get a better idea of how much your case could be worth and if taking legal action is the best option, you should contact our medical malpractice specialists in Reno.

How Much Will an Attorney Cost?

Attorney fees in medical malpractice cases should be the last thing you're concerned about, that is, if you choose Morgan and Morgan to fight for you. These fees are often contingency-based, meaning the attorney only gets paid if you win the case and recover a settlement or verdict.
