Absolutely not! Medical malpractice claims require experience. Some lawyers handle only certain types of malpractice claims. You should ask the lawyer how many malpractice claims he or she has handled and what the resources of the firm are. Because the lawyer advances the costs after the initial investigation, the lawyer or firm has to have the financial resources to fund the case. Defense firms know they can outspend the average lawyer.
