Q: I have more then 1 suit in this case should I get 2 or 1 firm 4 mis diagnosis, malpractice, fabrication of emr record?
A:
In a case where you have multiple claims, like misdiagnosis, malpractice, and fabrication of electronic medical records (EMR), it’s usually better to work with one firm that can handle all the aspects of the case. The reason is that all these issues are likely intertwined and related to the same set of facts or medical care. Having one firm would allow for a more streamlined approach, where the lawyers can see the full picture and coordinate a strategy that addresses all your claims together.
By having a single firm, you avoid the risk of conflicting strategies, and it can also save time and resources. A good medical malpractice firm will have the expertise to handle each of these claims—misdiagnosis, malpractice, and tampering with medical records—all under one roof. Plus, keeping it with one firm will make it easier for them to communicate with experts, doctors, and other professionals they’ll need to consult to build your case.
However, if the claims are so distinct or involve completely separate entities or doctors, it might make sense to consider two firms. But generally, one firm is better, as they’ll have a cohesive understanding of the case and can fight for the totality of your damages and justice in a unified way.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A: Until you are able to speak with a Montana attorney about state-specific procedural issues that might be relevant, it could be better to have a single law firm oversee everything if they are related to the same central cause of action. In addition to the good points raised by my colleague, it could also help contain costs for expert testimony, which is a major expense in med mal actions. Good luck
