I get quite a few queries about potential medical negligence cases. One of the things that I have tried to do, given that there are vast expenses involved in most medical negligent cases, is to basically turn away smaller cases. That sometimes causes irritation with people, because they feel that they do have a case and they are not sure why an attorney does not want to sue the doctor or the hospital that is involved in their medical negligence that has led to them suffering. It is very hard to explain to people that sometimes one does have to make an economic decision when it comes to these medical malpractice cases and quite simply, if there is not a lot of future treatment involved, or loss of income or either combined with fairly serious injuries, that it may not be economically worthwhile doing a claim.
