MEDICAL MALPRACTICE Doctors and other medical professionals provide care and healing. Sometimes however, hospitals and medical personnel fail to provide the appropriate standard of care. Injured persons and their families may experience physical, emotional, and financial strain, and are entitled to financial compensation for their damages. We handle medical malpractice claims - all types of medical malpractice including wrongful death, birth injuries, dental injuries. A successful medical malpractice case requires proving the injury occurred because the medical professional’s treatment fell below the acceptable standard of care within the medical community. Some of the types of medical malpractice and medical negligence cases we review include: * Emergency room errors * Surgical errors * Mismanagement of care by a hospital * Mismanagement of care by a doctor * Birth injuries * Failure to diagnose * Mis-diagnosis * Wrongful death Most medical malpractice claims result from one of the following: * Failure to properly diagnose a condition in a timely manner. * Failure to provide proper treatment once a diagnosis is made. * Failure to obtain informed consent prior to a medical procedure. It is important for injured persons and their families to have attorneys who are aggressive for the injured person’s rights and have the experience and compassion for a successful resolution of the claim. Initial Consultation We will ask you questions. We will examine your medical records. We will look for evidence that your injury was caused by a breach of the medical standard of care. We will evaluate your legal options. If we find evidence of a breach of the medical standard of care, we will ask you to sign releases so we can acquire further records and talk to your doctors. Often ongoing medical care is required. We will need to know medical opinions of your estimated recovery time, if you can return to work, when you can return to work, or will you need vocational training. We encourage you to call us at 901 526-0000 for a free consultation to discuss your situation.
