Share Lawyers commissioned a survey of healthcare professionals and talked to them about the experience of their patients. We found out the most commonly diagnosed conditions in their practice, and about how people feel during their medical consults. The results were surprising.

Of all the healthcare professionals we spoke to, 81% thought patients want an experienced lawyer after receiving a serious medical diagnosis, and 51% of healthcare professionals have received inquiries from their patients about legal issues.

What these results show us is consistent with what we see every day at Share Lawyers. A lot of our clients have strong feelings about their medical condition and their experience with insurance companies. It is nice to know that they are not alone in what they are going through.

Take a look at the results below.
