Philadelphia, PA personal injury attorney Leon Aussprung M.D., ESQ. gives his advice for someone who thinks they have a medical malpractice claim. He advises that if someone believes a medical error caused their injury, the first step is to ensure the incident is properly documented while still at the doctor’s office or hospital. Patients should ask their physician or nurse to include a detailed account of what occurred in the medical record. This documentation is critical, as it can significantly strengthen any future claim related to the injury.
