If you have suffered due to a negligent action or inaction performed by a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare professional, you could have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

These types of personal injury cases are incredibly complex and require the skill of an experienced Salt Lake City medical malpractice lawyer associated with Craig Swapp & Associates . For this reason, we only partner with the most experienced medical malpractice law firms to help you get the best litigation help possible with your case.

Types of Medical Malpractice

There are several different types of medical malpractice claims we see on a regular basis, including all of the following:

Gathering Evidence

Proving medical malpractice requires proof beyond what you would need in a standard injury case. Our Salt Lake City medical malpractice lawyer partner will seek to prove all of the points listed below:

Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations

We recommend that you call our office now, so that our medical malpractice litigation attorney partner can file a lawsuit as soon as possible. This is for several reasons:

First, it allows the gathering of evidence and interviewing of witnesses while the information is still fresh and easily accessible.

Second, there is a statute of limitations of two years for medical malpractice. If you wait until this time has passed, you may lose your ability to seek monetary compensation. You can still file your lawsuit while you are recovering, but if you wait to file until after the statute has been reached, your case could be thrown out of court.

The Legal Process

Hiring a Salt Lake City medical malpractice lawyer does not necessarily mean you will end up going to trial. Hospitals, doctors, and their insurers will often choose to settle a claim outside of court because it limits their public exposure and liability.

Once our medical malpractice attorney partner has fully valued your claim, a demand letter is prepared and sent to the doctor’s insurance company. This is a settlement-negotiation tool: If the other party responds positively and is willing to make a fair settlement offer, your attorney may recommend that you accept the offer instead of going to court.

If, however, they offer you an amount that is insufficient, we recommend proceeding to trial so that you can receive as much compensation as possible.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
