At Morgenstern & Herd, P.A., we understand that the effects of a medical mistake can be life changing for your entire family. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional deviates from the standard of care and when that medical negligence injures a patient. Medical malpractice lawsuits are often extremely complicated and it is important that your attorney is familiar with medical terminology and the appropriate standard of care to be applied.

It is said that they key to success in medical malpractice lawsuits is medical records review, interpretation, evaluation, and presentation. As with any personal injury case that involves medical treatment, the medical records in medical malpractice cases are the key to recreate the medical mistake that resulted in the medical injury. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer knows the importance of understanding, interpreting, and presenting the medical chronology in terms that a jury of laypersons can comprehend. This is why at Morgenstern and Herd, one of our partners reviews the medical records pursuant to each case as soon as the records are obtained. Using this method we ensure that the medical information is viewed through the legal lens from the very beginning.

Drawing on her own medical experience to reach legal conclusions, Betsey Herd personally combs through hospital records, nurses' notes, care plans, and other relevant information in order to pinpoint deviations from the appropriate standards of medical care. Independently a professional nurse practitioner analyzes the medical records, and then impressions are compared, giving clients a comprehensive and reliable view of potential medical mistakes.
