Getting Victims the Compensation They Deserve.
As a trial law firm with decades of experience pursuing justice, we understand how devastating medical malpractice can be for our clients. The last thing patients — and their families — expect is for a medical professional to cause harm in the course of treatment.
Sadly, medical malpractice incidents occur all too frequently, often leaving injuries unaddressed and responsibility unacknowledged. Malpractice can be committed by workers at any level and in any field of the medical profession, by either a negligent act or the omission of an act.

Our medical malpractice attorneys have tried or settled thousands of cases regarding birth injuries, traumatic brain injuries, failures to diagnose, surgical errors, laboratory mistakes, and more.

Medical malpractice lawyers help people who have been hurt by medical mistakes get compensation for the harm done. They look at medical records and documents to prove that a doctor or hospital made a mistake and can argue in court to get the person money.

A skilled medical malpractice lawyer can:
When choosing an attorney, consider the following questions:
After a case is filed by the plaintiff’s medical malpractice attorney, the discovery process begins—a period in which both sides share information about the case, such as medical records, and patient histories.
Many medical malpractice claims are settled during this time, but if the parties cannot agree on a fair resolution, the case will proceed to trial. There, the plaintiff must prove, by a preponderance of evidence, the four elements of his or her medical malpractice case.
Expert witnesses are individuals with specialized knowledge, training or experience regarding specific medical issues. These witnesses are crucial in helping the plaintiff establish the prevailing standard of care and how the defendant’s action or omission deviated from it.
At the end of the trial, a jury will weigh the evidence that was presented and determine which side has the more credible case. If that determination is a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, the jury or judge will calculate damages, typically awarding a monetary sum to compensate the injured party.
Awards can consist of punitive damages as well, though these are typically granted only when the negligence was particularly outrageous. Either side can appeal the court’s judgment; a losing defendant can also ask to have a large judgment reduced. These requests may – but often do not – succeed.
