Medical Negligence Happens

Doctors can and do make mistakes and when they do the results can be catastrophic. Medical negligence kills more people each year than motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS. We sue doctors and hospitals who make preventable errors in order to hold them accountable for their actions and to obtain fair compensation for their victims.

Our Experience

Often times when someone comes to see us with a potential medical malpractice case they come to us and they report, “Gee if only the doctor had said he or she was sorry. I probably wouldn’t be here.” An apology from a doctor or a hospital when they make a mistake is rare. While it’s a good start a sorry is rarely enough because sorry doesn’t pay for future surgeries. Sorry doesn’t pay for around the clock nursing care for a quadriplegic. Sorry doesn’t pay to improve the life of a child with cerebral palsy who should have been born perfectly healthy. Sorry is nice but it’s only a beginning. It isn’t enough.
