Health care providers, just like any other human beings, make mistakes, sometimes with devastating consequences and huge costs of future care. Although they are rarely uninsured, and many states have enacted legislation substantially limiting your recovery in these cases, most providers are still subject to having claims reported in the public record, which, of course they will attempt to avoid. Some jurisdictions will sanction licensure upon a threshold number of claims. Thus, health care providers will vigorously defend claims of professional negligence or misfeasance. Any suspicion a health care provider has of a potential claim against them will commence the orchestration of their defense, thus you need to very discretely get legal advice as soon as you think you have suffered any kind of medical injury.
