What should I look for if I suspect medical malpractice?

The most obvious indications are that the provider took too long to diagnose or begin treatment, a condition became worse after treatment, or an unexpected bad result occurred such as paralysis, brain damage or death. Be especially suspicious if the doctor or provider cannot give you a logical and satisfactory explanation for a worsened condition. If, at this point, you still believe that malpractice has occurred, the next step should be to contact an attorney. From there, they will be able to conduct a more thorough investigation of your case.
