The National Institute of Medicine estimated 98,000 Americans die each year due to preventable errors. Many more are injured. These are not just bad outcomes. They are mistakes that should not occur.
Preventable medical errors cause devastating injuries to patients and their families. There are not only the obvious physical injuries but the sense of betrayal that the health care field failed.
We can help answer questions so you know whether a mistake was made and whether someone should be held accountable. These are complicated questions that require experience and expertise. These are among the most difficult and complicated cases. Medicine and science are technical subjects and not easily mastered. Our experience since 1980 allows us to help our clients.
Insurance companies have the money, resources, and desire to defend every case vigorously. The victim's lawyer must be able to match that effort. Our years working in the field give us the ability to fully represent you.
Each case is fully investigated to determine whether it has merit. This typically includes collecting all pertinent medical records and reviewing them with qualified experts in the field. We have contacts in all medical fields and seek objective medical opinions to evaluate the care and learn the cause of an injury or death.
The firm has extensive experience in these cases. We have handled hundreds of cases involving misdiagnosis, medication errors, birth injury, improper surgery, and failure to monitor.
