Malpractice Lawsuit Cases
Was your trust in a medical professional violated?
Whenever a health care provider or medical practitioner omits or neglects to provide proper and adequate treatment to a patient and this results in an injury it is medical malpractice.
No healthcare provider is perfect, and hospitals, nursing staff, surgeons and physicians are all capable of making mistakes, sometimes with tragic results.

Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
Successful malpractice lawsuits have been filed for chiropractic injury, OB/GYN negligence, dental injuries and misdiagnosis, psychiatric malpractice, nursing home neglect, orthopedic errors, and cosmetic surgery malpractice as well as many other areas. When the sacred trust between you and a healthcare provider was violated, you may have compensation options under medical tort law.
A medical malpractice law firm with experience handling these cases becomes all too familiar with these errors, and the terrible impact they have on the surviving family members and victims.
If a medical professional failed to perform their medical duties and caused patient injury, your first step should be to share what happened with our medical malpractice lawyers to learn your options. Your legal team will investigate what happened on your behalf and help you determine who was responsible for your injury.
Medical malpractice claims can cover not only the actions of physicians, but the all the healthcare professionals involved in providing care, including nurses and other medical staff responsible for patient care and treatment.
You aren't limited to suing your doctor, either. A hospital can be held responsible for professional negligence, and so can a health maintenance organization (HMO).
HMO liability can arise when the organization refuses to pay for treatment based on cost, denies appropriate care, or refuses coverage to eligible members. The details of your case and your state of residence will determine what your options are. Our attorneys will lay them out plainly so you can choose what is best for your family.

What Can a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Recover?
It seems hard to believe, but most patients who are seriously harmed by medical negligence never file a lawsuit. Some never learn that negligence caused the injury. Others assume a case against a hospital cannot be won. The result is that families absorb costs the negligent provider should be paying.
Research on medical error has repeatedly ranked it among the leading causes of death in the United States. Of the malpractice cases that do get filed, the great majority resolve by settlement rather than a jury verdict.
A settlement is only part of what these cases accomplish. A malpractice lawsuit forces the provider to answer for what happened, creates a record of the negligence, and secures compensation for the harm it caused your family.
No amount of money can restore your health. What the courts attempt to do is compensate victims fairly, so they can repair the financial damage and lead as normal a life as possible after the injury. In cases where the victim has died, the surviving family members may be eligible as distributees in a wrongful death lawsuit.

A lawsuit against negligent health care providers may recover the financial losses you experienced, such as unnecessary surgery or health care costs and lost wages, both present and future.
Depending on the laws in your state and the severity of the injuries, your medical malpractice lawsuit may also compensate you for less easily quantified expenses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of relationship benefits and even loss of life's enjoyment.
In an effort to overhaul the medical liability system by doctors' groups, insurance companies and patient groups, tort reform laws have been enacted in a number of states limiting the amount of damages for pain and suffering. Intended to limit frivolous lawsuits, it may instead impact the amount of rightful compensation you may be entitled. Your lawyer will be able to explain if your state is among the medical tort reform states how it may apply to your case.
In most cases, your medical malpractice attorney filing a lawsuit on your behalf may be the only way for victims to recover from their financial burdens and the loss of employment. Without these legal options victims would be left alone to suffer financial, emotional and physical hardship for the remainder of their lives.
Review My Case NowWhat Is a Medical Malpractice Settlement Worth?
No two malpractice recoveries look alike, and an attorney who quotes you an average settlement figure before reading your records is guessing. What drives value: the severity and permanence of the injury, the cost of corrective and future medical care, lost income and earning capacity, the strength of the expert testimony on the standard of care, and whether your state caps non-economic damages. A serious, well-documented case gives the defense a real incentive to settle rather than face a jury. We also believe it is critical to hold health care providers accountable for negligent behavior, mistakes and preventable injuries.
The National Practitioner Data Bank, which records the claims against physicians, shows that 5.1 percent of physicians account for 54.2 percent of medical negligence payouts. Your silence only lets bad doctors continue to practice medicine without responsibility for their actions.
Sharing what happened to you with an experienced medical malpractice litigation team is the last line of defense to prevent the same from happening to other patients.
Doctors who lose multiple malpractice cases are rarely disciplined by their state medical boards. Unacceptable.
If you or someone you know may have been the victim of medical negligence, share what happened with our medical malpractice attorneys and get your legal options.
The damages calculation in a med-mal case turns on the same building blocks as any catastrophic personal injury claim: future damages projected through life expectancy, the multiplier method or per diem method applied to non-economic harm, the eggshell plaintiff doctrine answering the carrier's pre-existing-condition arguments, and the independent medical examination as the defense's primary tool to challenge severity. Our malpractice attorneys handle each piece of the damages presentation in coordination with treating physicians and life-care planners.
Malpractice deadlines are among the shortest in personal injury law, and some states require pre-suit notice or an expert affidavit months before you can even file. The records that prove your case are easier to secure now than a year from now.
