Medical Negligence
Medical negligence actions are among the most difficult and time consuming of all legal actions. They are complex, lengthy and expensive.
They are complicated because of the specialized medical knowledge necessary to pursue them successfully.
They have unique legal requirements because we must locate and retain expert medical witnesses who will testify against the negligent doctor or hospital. This is often difficult.
To be successful in an action for medical negligence, it is necessary to prove that a physician or hospital staff breached the appropriate standards of care in the diagnosis or treatment of the medical condition presented to them. It is also necessary to prove that the acts of negligence were the probable cause of the resulting damages.
The proof that a doctor or hospital was negligent is more difficult than in an ordinary case. If a physician made an honest error in judgment, he or she will not be held liable.
These actions routinely take 3 to 5 years to complete. Because such actions are so difficult and expensive and because they involve such an intensive commitment of time from our clients and from our firm, we will only proceed from one phase of an action to the next if there continues to be a very strong probability of continued success.
If we do proceed, however, we guarantee that we will use our experience and knowledge in fighting for your rights and the compensation you deserve.
We are always prepared to meet with you to discuss whether or not your case has the elements for success at trial.
Personal Injury
If you have been injured and someone else is at fault, the consequences can have an overwhelming effect on your life. However, you do have rights, including the right to sue the responsible party for your losses. You may be entitled to damages for pain and suffering, and to financial compensation for lost income or medical expenses. We strive to protect your rights and to ensure that you are compensated for such losses.
It takes time, however, for such a process to be successful. The process should only be handled by an experienced personal injury lawyer. There are many aspects involved in ensuring that all relevant information is collected and all expert medical opinions are obtained, to ensure that you are represented in a way that maximizes your success.
