Helping Those Injured by Medical Negligence
A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that medical errors cause up to 98,000 deaths annually. The medical research group, Healthgrades, reported that preventable medical errors cause up to 195,000 hospital deaths each year. Either way, medical malpractice has become an epidemic. Patients are paying the price — sometimes with their lives.
If you were harmed by medical malpractice or if a member of your family died a wrongful death due to a doctor's mistake, you should speak to a lawyer about your legal rights. You may be able to recover financial compensation for your losses, including pain and suffering, lost wages, current and future medical and rehabilitation expenses and other damages.

Simple Errors With Tragic Results
Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals never mean to cause harm. But simple mistakes can have tragic results. We settled a case against an Alabama hospital involving a doctor who wrote a prescription for a hospitalized child, but the drug was never administered. Because of that error, the child slipped into a coma.
Do You Have a Case?
Not every bad outcome is a case of medical malpractice. If a mistake was made, but you suffered no permanent or serious damages, you probably do not have a case. Our lawyers are happy to review your case and determine whether you have an actionable claim. We will assess the extent of your damages and determine who might be legally responsible for your losses.
