Medical Malpractice

Most of the time, medical care and treatment is performed upon you or your loved one with professionalism and accuracy such that even complicated procedures may appear to be routine. In a small number of instances, however, medical providers may fail to perform a test or procedure, or may negligently provide treatment or case and cause serious permanent injuries – even death.

 Sample Settlement in this Area

We represented a woman in a medical malpractice suit who had weight reduction surgery and then became ill as the result of a leak in a portion of her colon. We recovered $450,000 in a settlement with the surgeon and hospital. She had missed some work as a teacher’s assistant in an elementary school but thankfully did lose quite a bit of weight as a result of the surgery and made a full recovery.
