Medical Malpractice Law

Doctors spend years studying and training to learn everything about the human body and how to treat and heal the almost infinite number of illnesses and injuries that can afflict their patients. Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are highly educated and skilled, dedicated to helping and healing. But they are also human. That means they can and do make mistakes or errors in judgment. Tragically, these failures often come with catastrophic consequences.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans suffer every year from avoidable medical mistakes. In fact, if medical malpractice were a disease, it would be an epidemic. Only heart disease and cancer kill more Americans yearly than preventable medical mistakes. In 2016, Johns Hopkins University researchers concluded that medical errors kill 250,000 every year. That is almost 700 deaths every day – and 700 families left in shock and grief, wondering why and how things went so horribly wrong.

When those charged with healing cause harm because they failed to follow the appropriate standard of care or otherwise breached their responsibilities to a patient, they may face a medical malpractice claim. That claim may be the basis for the recovery of compensation for the losses and suffering caused by medical negligence.

Medicine is complicated, and not every bad outcome is the result of a mistake.

We are allied with teams of medical experts and other professionals who can provide critical insights, and we work seamlessly with them to craft the strongest possible case.
