If someone is considering surgery, the experience of the surgeon would certainly be an important concern. Few people would want a surgeon who had never performed the same surgery. No one would want to be the surgeon’s first patient to undergo a particular operation. As Orlando medical malpractice lawyers, we believe that patients and families would want to have a medical doctor who is also a lawyer represent them in medical malpractice cases.

Unfortunately, when medical malpractice strikes few people know where to turn. Even fewer people realize that there are lawyers who are also medical doctors who handle medical malpractice cases. Yet, what better advantage could a patient have than to have a lawyer who is licensed as a medical doctor. Dr. Walter Ward has a distinct advantage to be able to confront the doctors involved by going into the case with a complete understanding of the medical issues involved. Obviously, it is much more practical when a lawyer has first hand experience as a medical doctor who was educated and trained from the standpoint of the doctors who are responsible for the medical malpractice.

When selecting an Orlando medical malpractice lawyer hiring one that is a medical doctor/lawyer should bring a higher level of confidence. These cases are complex and can be lost if the patient’s lawyer does not understand the medicine involved.
