Medical Malpractice

Find out if it is worth pursuing an Iowa medical malpractice case

Has your life been permanently changed by a preventable medical error?  Did a family member die after a “routine” medical procedure?  Did a doctor or nurse miss obvious warning signs of a serious medical emergency?

We at RSH Legal know this happens all too often.  Unfortunately, getting fair compensation after “botched” medical care is difficult in Iowa.

Medical malpractice cases are tough to win.  According to a recent study, patients will win only 23% of medical malpractice cases that go to trial in front of a jury.

Medical malpractice cases are also expensive to prove.  Recent Iowa law requires a signed report from a medical expert before most medical malpractice cases can go forward.  Qualified doctors charge thousands of dollars to review a potential medical malpractice case before they will sign such a report.

Because Iowa law stacks the deck against medical malpractice victims, we consider it our ethical duty to take only legitimate medical malpractice cases with a strong likelihood of success for the client.  We pride ourselves in not wasting our clients’ time or giving them false hope.

RSH Legal has a statewide reputation of successfully fighting for injured patients and their families but we must be VERY selective.

Because of our track record of success, RSH Legal gets hundreds of Iowa medical malpractice inquiries every year.  For that reason, we must be very selective and use strict criteria when considering whether to accept a medical malpractice case.

Call us right now if your case meets these criteria:

1. The injury must be very serious – resulting in permanent injury or death.
2. The injury must be directly related to the suspected medical malpractice.
3. The malpractice must have occurred in Iowa within the last 18 months (unless it involves an injury to a child during birth).
4. You must not be represented by another lawyer, and we will accept no case that has already been filed in court.
5. Your case must not involve a claim you got an infection from a hospital stay.
6. Your case must not be about “bad bedside manner” or injuries that only frightened or angered you.
7. Your case must not be about problems that “might” happen in the future.
8. We will not take a case against an orthopedic surgeon in Linn County, Iowa.

What to do if your Iowa medical malpractice case satisfies under our criteria:

The imbalance of power after medical malpractice can be overwhelming. The patient’s family is usually lost, dealing with unexpected death, disability or a lifetime of medical bills.  The medical professional and his or her malpractice insurance corporation have the upper hand – they know the rules and they have the money.

We want to help balance the scales for as many patients as we can.  Contact our experienced medical malpractice lawyers at RSH Legal today to find out if we can fight for fairness for you.

The second thing you must do is download a free copy of the Law Guide to Iowa Medical Malpractice Claims.
