Screening Is the Real Cost

Every practice area has unqualified enquiries. Medical malpractice is unusual because investigating one properly is expensive.

A plausible-sounding enquiry can require medical records to be obtained and reviewed, and frequently a preliminary expert opinion, before anyone knows whether there is a case. That is real money and real hours, spent on matters that mostly will not proceed — and in many states a merit certification or similar requirement makes it unavoidable.

So the marketing objective inverts. In most practice areas more enquiries is better. Here, more unqualified enquiries is actively expensive, and an agency reporting enquiry volume as success is reporting your costs as a win.

Qualifying in the Content

The cheapest screening happens before the call, and it is done by content that is honest about what does not qualify. Firms resist writing it because it appears to turn work away. It turns away work you were going to decline anyway, after paying to assess it.

Four pages that do this well:

A page explaining the difference between a bad outcome and negligence. Written respectfully, because the reader has usually been harmed and is being told their case may not exist. Done properly, this is the single most valuable page in the practice area — it screens, and it converts the genuine matters better because the reader recognises that you are not simply taking everything.

A page on what makes a case economically viable. Naming, in general terms, why severity matters. Uncomfortable to write and it saves enormous time.

A page on time limits in your state, including the discovery rule and the shorter notice periods for public facilities.

Pages on the injury types you actually take. Birth injury, surgical error, delayed diagnosis of a specific condition, anaesthesia, medication error, retained object. Specific rather than general, because specificity is itself a screen.

Targeting by Injury, Not by Claim

People do not search for “medical malpractice attorney” nearly as often as they search for what happened to them, and the claim-level terms are both expensive and poorly qualified.

Injury-specific and situation-specific terms — a delayed cancer diagnosis, an infant with a specific birth injury, a surgical complication, a missed fracture, sepsis after a procedure, a medication given in error — carry less competition, cost less, and arrive far better qualified because the searcher is describing facts rather than a legal theory.

This also helps the economics in the right direction: the severe injuries that are economically viable tend to be searched with specific language, while the general claim terms attract the full spread including the many non-viable matters.

Exclusions before launch: free medical malpractice lawyer, legal aid, how to sue a hospital myself, medical board complaint, how to report a doctor, plus the injury types you do not take.

Referral and Co-Counsel Are Part of the Channel

Medical malpractice has an unusual secondary market: other lawyers. General practitioners, injury firms without the appetite for medical cases, and firms outside the jurisdiction all refer these matters out.

That makes lawyer-facing visibility a genuine channel rather than an afterthought — and a different kind of content. Substantive writing about the procedural requirements in your state, the merit certification process, expert availability and notable procedural developments is read by referring lawyers, not by injured patients. It serves a different audience with different search behaviour, and most firms publish none of it.

Fee-sharing on referrals is governed by your state's rules and requires client consent and reasonable division in most jurisdictions, so the arrangements need structuring accordingly — but the visibility that generates them is ordinary marketing.

What to Require of an Agency

1. Enquiry quality as the reported metric, not enquiry volume.
2. Qualifying content that explains honestly what does not make a case.
3. Injury-specific and situation-specific targeting rather than claim-level terms.
4. A structured intake screen before any records are requested — date, facility, injury severity, treatment since, whether another firm has reviewed it.
5. Lawyer-facing content if referral and co-counsel work matters to you.
6. Call recordings, because in this practice area the enquiry screen is the main operational cost worth optimising.

Attorney Pro Marketing builds med mal programmes around qualification rather than volume, with injury-specific pages and the honest screening content most firms will not publish. Content comes from Alon Darvish, a former attorney of 17 years with over 5,000 cases filed, written from your input on exactly which matters you take and which you decline — which in this practice area is most of the brief. Call tracking with recordings from the Growth tier is what makes enquiry quality measurable rather than asserted.

Published pricing at $2,500, $3,500 and $4,500 a month, advertising billed to your firm directly by Google with no percentage of spend, month to month with 30 days' notice, and rankings recorded on day 0 with the movement reported on day 14 before you are billed for that period.
