What should I look for when choosing a Tennessee medical malpractice lawyer?

There are many traits that good Tennessee lawyers share. These include having a good reputation in the community, a winning court record and lots of experience. That said, a medical malpractice lawyer needs all these traits and more. Here are a few things you should look for as you decide on an attorney who can handle your Tennessee medical malpractice case. Your lawyer should:

Possess experience in medical malpractice cases. There are many personal injury attorneys out there, but yours needs to know the Tennessee laws that specifically address the specifics of your claim. This comes from experience.
Be honest and up front. Your attorney should be very clear with you about how the financial arrangements for your case work. In addition, a good medical malpractice lawyer is honest about your chances and will advise you accordingly.
Understand medical law. Your lawyer should not only understand the law as it applies to your case, but also have expertise in how the law applies to medicine in general. In addition, he or she should know competent medical experts who can testify on your behalf should your case go to trial.
Have your best interests at heart. In the end, a lawyer who takes any old case and settles quickly isn’t representing his clients’ best interests. A good lawyer will be honest with you about your case and be willing to take the suit as far as necessary to get you the fairest compensation possible. A good lawyer works for you, not for himself.
