Once a claim for medical malpractice is initiated, a lawyer will attempt to investigate the claim to prove the case. This investigation can involve interviewing doctors or nurses with knowledge of what occurred.  It will also include reviewing medical records.  A lawyer can assist gaining access to records that may be otherwise difficult to obtain.
