Medical care that left an open question
When the outcome is serious, the explanation is unclear or the documents do not appear to match what was understood at the time.
Medical Malpractice and Torts
When the legal question begins inside the medical story.
To understand whether a medical event warrants legal review, the first step is to understand what actually happened: the treatment sequence, the record, the decisions made at the time and the connection between those decisions and the harm.
There is no need to send medical records or sensitive information with the initial inquiry.
Starting point
When is it worth stopping and looking more closely?
You do not need to know in advance whether malpractice occurred. Sometimes the right question is simply whether something in the medical sequence, the explanation given or the outcome warrants a structured professional review.
Pregnancy, birth or newborn care
Obstetric events can require close reading of the record and careful understanding of the decisions made in real time.
Harm that extends beyond the treatment itself
When the medical event affects function, work, rights or related proceedings, the matter should be viewed as a whole.
Process
Separating a sense that something went wrong from a question that can be tested.
The aim is to build an accurate picture before deciding what should happen next. There is no good substitute for a disciplined review of the event.
01
Initial mapping
What happened, when, who was involved and what central question needs to be clarified.
02
Medical sequence
Collection and review of relevant medical records and documents as needed.
03
Medical and legal assessment
Review of the conduct, information provided, relationship to the harm and issues requiring further inquiry.
04
Decision on next steps
Whether further review is justified, what steps are needed and what course is appropriate.

Anna Deutsch is also a midwife with approximately 20 years of nursing experience. That background supports reading medical material not only as legal evidence, but as part of a complete care process.
Professional difference
Understand the record from the inside, then ask the right legal question.
In medical malpractice matters, a single entry, timing sequence or clinical decision can change how the event is understood. Combining practical familiarity with healthcare and legal analysis helps identify earlier what matters, what is missing and what requires further review.
Reading the treatment sequence, not only individual documents
Understanding the professional context of pregnancy, birth and newborn care
Connecting the claim, the harm and social security proceedings where relevant
Legal framework
The law is part of the review, not a substitute for the facts.
A responsible legal assessment starts with the specific circumstances. A few legal foundations help frame the review.
Negligence and harm
The Israeli Civil Wrongs Ordinance governs negligence. A serious medical outcome alone therefore does not establish malpractice; the conduct and its relationship to the harm must be examined.
Informed consent
The Israeli Patient Rights Law establishes informed consent requirements and requires the patient to receive medical information reasonably necessary to decide whether to accept the proposed treatment.
FAQ
What should you know before contacting us?
You do not need to arrive with a legal conclusion. The first step is simply to explain what concerns you and what you want to understand.
Do I need to send the entire medical file with the first inquiry?
No. An initial conversation can map the event without sending documents or sensitive medical information. If additional material is needed, that can be defined later.
If the outcome was serious, does that mean there was malpractice?
Not necessarily. An adverse medical outcome and malpractice are different questions. The review focuses on the circumstances, the conduct and the relationship to the harm.
Can the firm review pregnancy, birth or newborn matters?
Yes. Obstetric malpractice, including events involving pregnancy, birth and newborn care, is among the firm's practice areas.
