  5. Medical Malpractice Attorneys A victim of medical malpractice needs a good lawyer as these cases are complicated, expensive and difficult, and insurance companies and their lawyers know it, fighting tooth and nail to pay nothing.The first step in presenting your medical malpractice claim is to meet a lawyer. The lawyer and potential client needs to assess whether there is a case and whether the attorney and client can work well together.
