As the capital of Connecticut, Hartford is one of the largest cities in the state. In addition to its wealth, beauty and history, it is famous for being "the insurance capital of the world." Unfortunately, getting those local insurance companies to deliver on your claims isn't any easier in Hartford than other regions of the country unless you have a Hartford medical malpractice lawyer helping you.

As you search for a qualified lawyer to handle your case, one of the most important qualifications they can have is experience. Ask questions about the cases they've worked on, the success they have earned and the years they have been practicing. You might also want to learn a little about their education and their reputation.

Even though medical errors occur unintentionally, they can have debilitating and even fatal consequences. That's why so many people take doctors to court and sue for the compensation they feel entitled to receive. Since it is very hard to put a price tag on something as precious as life or the ability to walk, awarded medical settlements often exceed a million dollars.

Before you take your case to court, you want to make sure that there really was negligence or malpractice though. This is why so many lawyers offer to evaluate potential cases free of charge. And, if a family member dies after a risky surgery, you might just need to recognize that the doctor did do everything in his or her power. Trying to punish a doctor for working to save your loved one's life is a pretty effective way to drive talented physicians out of the medical profession.
