MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEYS - SETTLEMENTS

If you have been the victim of a negligent doctor choosing the right firm of medical malpractice attorneys can be a difficult and confusing task especially when all of them claim to be experts and specialists. All to often law firms claim to be experts in every possible discipline of law even when they have little or no experience in that particular matter.

In 1946 the National Association of Claimants' Compensation Attorneys was formed by a group of personal injury lawyers and in 1972 the name was changed to the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. ATLA is a broad-based, international coalition of 56,000 members worldwide including many medical malpractice attorneys which promotes justice and fairness for injured persons, safeguards victims' rights and strengthens the civil justice system through education and disclosure of information critical to public health and safety.

ATLA provides an extensive schedule of education programs for lawyers to ensure that clients receive the best legal representation possible. Educational programs include week long courses which assist medical malpractice lawyers to hone courtroom skills and techniques together with two to three day seminars on specialist subjects.

All members of ATLA automatically receive the following publications to help keep them up to date with legal developments :

• 'TRIAL' which is a monthly magazine written primarily by trial lawyers that focuses on recent developments in skills training and substantive legal topics.
• 'The Law Reporter' which is published 10 times a year and is a case reference periodical designed to be a research aid for lawyers which contains summaries of recent verdicts, settlements and court opinions.
• 'The ATLA Advocate' which is circulated 10 times a year and reports Association activities, committee actions, upcoming events, and member services

Doctors usually provide a high standard of excellence for their patients however there are occasions when things go wrong. We can get you the best representation available anywhere in the country from members of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
