It is most important that a plaintiff's medical malpractice lawyer
screen cases and accept only those that are worthwhile. (In some states,
the lawyer must certify that he has reviewed the matter with a qualified
physician who states that the case is "meritorious.") Often the
experienced lawyer can tell if the case is worthwhile from the first
contact with the client. If it is not, the client should be informed
immediately; the legal and medical systems should not be cluttered with
the prosecution of worthless cases.

True medical malpractice consists of negligent conduct that causes
damage. There may be "malpractice" from a theoretical point of view, but
if the conduct has not caused injury it is not a matter for the legal
system. Sometimes there may be true "malpractice" but no residual
damage. These are not strong cases. Juries are not all interested in a
past history of damage; they do become interested when a plaintiff can
show permanent injury. (1) The following are examples of such cases.
