My client experienced negligence by hospital staff and now seeks to file a medical malpractice claim. However, an expert testimony report of negligence is required to support the claim, but my client cannot afford this. What steps should we take next?

I have worked in multiple areas of healthcare, including Acute and Long-term care.

The settlement checks are generally deposited in the attorney’s attorney-client trust account. The client is then given a check from the trust account. If the check was not from the trust account, it would be suspicious.
