Medical Malpractice Lawyers Serving Scranton and Lackawanna County
Medical malpractice cases require more than a poor outcome. The treatment timeline, medical records, applicable standard of care, and connection between the alleged error and the injury must be carefully evaluated.
Our attorneys review the providers and facilities involved, preserve records, develop the medical timeline, and work to understand how the injury has affected future care, work, and daily life.

What Information Can Help Evaluate a Medical Malpractice Claim?
The records and timeline are usually more important than assumptions made immediately after a bad outcome.
- Keep discharge instructions, test results, medication lists, and patient-portal communications.
- Write down the sequence of treatment, symptoms, providers, and important conversations.
- Request copies of relevant records and imaging when appropriate.
- Continue medically appropriate follow-up care for the injury or condition.
- Keep records of additional treatment, lost work, and out-of-pocket expenses.
- Have the matter reviewed promptly because malpractice deadlines can be complex.

Scranton Medical Malpractice Lawyers FAQs
Does a bad medical result automatically mean malpractice?
No. A claim generally requires evidence that the care fell below the applicable standard and that the failure caused additional harm.
Why are medical records so important?
They help establish the timeline, treatment decisions, testing, medications, communication, and resulting injury.
Are medical experts usually needed?
Many malpractice claims require qualified expert review of the standard of care, causation, and prognosis.
How long do I have to bring a medical malpractice claim?
Deadlines can depend on the facts and should be evaluated promptly rather than relying on a general assumption.
