How do you go about with a malpractice lawsuit? What information is most?

important to provide the attorney up front?

[macquaid35]

The most important information to the attorney is what happened and who the players are.

Malpractice is difficult to prove, and is a way over the top charge against an individual practitioner. In most jurisdictions, you not only have to prove harm, you have to prove intentional harm. Very difficult for the most experienced lawyers to take on.

The facts of what happened is always the most important information you can provide. As for how you go about the lawsuit, that will depend on what type of malpractice (legal, medical, other) and the laws of your particular jurisdiction. The one universal is element is that you act NOW! Most (if not all) states have very specific time frames in which you must take action or forfeit your claim.

All of the information is important. A medical record is a good place to start, though chances are you can't get this without the attorney anyway.

All of it. You'll have to provide him with all information on this supposed malpractice, so he can evaluate if you even HAVE a decent case

The facts of the case. No who was mean or who didn't do what you wanted. just straight facts.
