Collecting evidence in Miami medical malpractice cases is essential. Many types of evidence can be provided by victims, their families, and other witnesses. However, some types of valuable evidence may be difficult for victims and their families to collect.
If a healthcare provider or institution harmed you or a loved one, call the seasoned attorneys at Kaire & Heffernan today. Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys can assist with the more complex aspects of evidence collection, and we can also connect your case with expert medical witnesses who are renowned in their field.
When a patient is harmed during medical treatment, certain types of evidence will be readily available. A court will accept cell phone photos and videos taken by family members, for instance. Original documents are always helpful.
Some examples of helpful evidence in malpractice lawsuits include:
In the most unfortunate cases, medical malpractice leads to the death of a patient. In those instances, the victims’ families can also provide a coroner’s report, autopsy reports, third-party autopsy reports, and funeral bills.
Coroners and medical examiners are expert witnesses. When someone dies, they collect and study human remains to help determine the actual cause of death. Those causes are shown on the Certified Copy of a Death Certificate, another critical piece of evidence to collect for a Miami malpractice lawsuit that involves a wrongful death.
The Miami-Dade coroner’s office may utilize dental records, X-rays, fingerprints, toxicology reports, and a range of other tools and techniques to determine precisely how, why, and when a person passed away. Their information is always helpful evidence.
When a victim is recovering or a family is grieving their shocking loss, attorneys can take the reins by collecting evidence in Miami medical malpractice cases. This takes a massive load of responsibility off the shoulders of a victim or their family.
Medical malpractice lawyers will consult with coroners and staff, hospital records departments, and other expert witnesses to help a family prepare their case with high-quality evidence.
Healthcare providers, hospitals, and other institutions may give the victim trouble when it comes to collecting evidence for a medical malpractice claim.
Providers may claim to have lost a file. Alternatively, they may be reluctant to provide records, making it difficult for a family member to gather information. A seasoned attorney will use a subpoena to compel them to provide these records.
