Washington, DC, has some highly respected medical facilities and hospitals and is in the vicinity of some top medical schools and research facilities in the U.S. Therefore, most people expect to highly trust the doctors and other professionals they see for injuries or medical conditions.

TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers also handle wrongful death claims related to medical malpractice.
You can claim damages that cover funeral and burial costs, medical bills for the deceased, and any financial support the decedent would have given until their retirement age, including companionship, personal instruction, and provisions for education. You can’t ask for damages for emotional distress or the loss of love and affection.
Whether you file a personal injury medical malpractice lawsuit or a wrongful death claim, there are no caps on the damages in Washington, DC.
In DC, you can bring medical malpractice claims against anyone with a professional medical license – doctors, nurses, physician’s assistants, chiropractors, dentists, and EMTs, for example. You can also file a claim against a corporate healthcare provider such as a nursing home, urgent care facility, or hospital.
While most states enforce medical malpractice claims with a certificate of merit, this document is not required to file a lawsuit in the nation’s capital. The certificate of merit represents a signed statement from another physician that validates medical malpractice may have happened. Otherwise, the court will dismiss the case.
Washington, DC, is one of the few jurisdictions that does not require the certificate. Therefore, you can file a medical malpractice case without getting the certification from another doctor. DC legislation only requires that plaintiffs give the intended defendant a 90-day written notice and proceed with a non-binding arbitration process before proceeding with a lawsuit.
In Washington, DC, medical malpractice cases are pretty tricky. So, when you face this type of claim, you should contact a qualified lawyer. Below are some must-know benefits of seeking legal counsel from TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers.
Filing a medical malpractice claim is challenging – no doubt about it. It requires in-depth knowledge of specific legal standards and medical practices as well. The right lawyer can assess your situation, analyze your records, and determine the validity of your malpractice claim.
Malpractice cases often involve complex jargon that only professionals can comprehend. By contacting a lawyer, you can also interpret any confusing terms. Your lawyer will speak to expert witnesses and build a logical argument. This will help you prove negligence more easily, increasing your chance of receiving a larger settlement.
Insurance companies have aggressive tactics – all lawyers know that all too well. Lawyers are skilled negotiators who can properly voice your best interests while effectively shutting down an insurer’s attempts to make money.
Legal deadlines limit you to the time you can file a claim. A lawyer will file everything correctly and on time.
Lawyers can provide emotional support and guidance, helping you understand what you’re getting into and how to deal with any challenges.
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. They won’t get paid unless you win your case and receive a settlement.
Each state has its own unique laws. Therefore, you need a lawyer based in DC who knows all the nuances of D.C.’s laws and regulations – again, this maximizes your chances of success.
Lawyers can access doctors, investigators, financial analysts, and similar professionals – all of whom can lend their knowledge for a better outcome.
If you believe you have a medical malpractice claim, you must act quickly. Contact Washington, DC, personal injury attorneys at TopDog Law at (202) 875-6047. We can provide a complimentary in-person case review and consultation at our DC office. Give us a call right away.
