At Cohen Medical Consulting, our goal is to help you and your attorney understand whether the medical treatment you received was up to standard. We also evaluate your injuries to see if a breach of the of standard of care was responsible for the injuries which you suffered. If you believe that you were the victim of medical negligence, we will help you understand the medical issues in your case. We are not attorneys. We are medical doctors with over thirty years of experience in analyzing complicated medical issues and helping our clients and their attorneys determine if they suffered medical negligence. Most typically we are contracted with through your attorney. We analyze the medical records of the claimant, help secure expert testimony and assist in discovery, expert depositions and preparations for trial. We work to secure proper exhibits and demonstrative evidence for presentation at trial. We frequently attend the trial and help throughout the trial to prepare didactic trial jury education we help with cross examinations of the defense experts. For example, if you had surgery and had an unexpected outcome that has caused you disability or suffering, we will evaluate your records, meet with you, and let you know whether your treatment was below the standard of care. If you decide to pursue legal action, we will help you identify qualified attorneys and will assist those attorneys in obtaining monetary compensation. If you feel that you were misdiagnosed and did not receive the proper care, we will assess how the doctor came to the diagnosis and whether the diagnosis was proper. We will then advise you on whether there was a deviation from the standard of care for which you may seek compensation damages.
What is the “standard of care”? The standard of care is generally defined as the level at which the average, prudent provider in a given community would practice. It is how similarly qualified practitioners would have managed the patient’s care under the same or similar circumstances. If the health care provider who evaluated and treated you did not meet this standard, you may be able to seek compensation. It can be difficult to determine whether the standard of care was met, particularly in complicated medical situations. For this reason, Cohen Medical Consulting, will assist you in making this determination while avoiding seeing a lawyer who does not have the required medical expertise.
