Free initial consultation about your physician malpractice claim

We know that most medical malpractice victims never thought they would need to sue their doctor. Most of the people we talk to about physician malpractice have a profound faith in the standard of care offered by medical professionals and feel terrible that it would take a lawsuit to recover the loss caused by their injuries. It is a terrible thing when a doctor betrays the trust of a patient, and sometimes there is no alternative but to fight back for justice and truth.

We have a record of investigating and prosecuting malpractice cases such as:

• Hospital malpractice
• Nursing home malpractice and abuse
• Surgical errors
• Improper diagnosis or treatment
• Birth injuries, obstetric mistakes, erb's palsy
• Failure to recognize and treat a stroke
• Failure to treat a heart attack
• Wrongful death claims

Every physician malpractice case must have three elements present:

First, the doctor must have preformed a negligent act or acted in such a way that indicates professional misconduct. That negligence is generally defined as a doctor not following the standards of good and accepted medical care in the community.

Second, you must be able to show actual damages or harm caused by the negligence. If a doctor prescribed the wrong medication that did not result in physical harm, your case may not have legal merit. If the wrong medication caused you to be sick or resulted in serious harm, you may be entitled to sue for damages.

Third, you must be able to show that a definite link existed between the doctor's mistake and the harm it caused. If the wrong medication gave you headaches, but did not result in mistreatment of cancer, you may not be able to show a specific link. If the headaches resulted in unnecessary brain surgery, a definite link exists between the negligence and the harm it caused.
