Settlement Offer

In the last few years, we’ve seen hospitals particularly aggressively trying to settle potential claims. By going to the patient and explaining that they made a mistake and offering a level of compensation.

So, it’s possible for compensation by the hospital that is adequate for a person without any lawyer being involved. But medical malpractice lawyers who do this kind of work will generally review those kinds of offers. Evaluate the offers in light of all of the information that’s available. And advise the person whether the offer can be exceeded substantially. Then work out a compensation basis above the amount that’s been offered by the hospital or the health care facility.
