Medical malpractice includes personal injury claims against physicians, hospitals, nurses, nursing homes, dentists,
chiropractors, podiatrists, and in some instances managed care organizations like HMO’s.Medical malpractice is the failure of a health care provider, such as a doctor, to meet the minimum acceptable standard of care
or performance under the circumstances in treating or making medical decisions for a patient. Determining whether there has been a failure to meet the appropriate treatment standard almost always requires an expert in
the field, usually a doctor, to review the medical records and be willing to testify in court that there was a deviation from acceptable care. If the care of more than one person or organization is in question, several
expert witnesses are frequently needed to evaluate and prove the case. Medical malpractice cases are expensive. Typically it takes from $1,000 to $5,000 for medical records and experts just to find out if there’s a
good case. Pursuing a malpractice case through completion usually requires expenses of $15,000 to $50,000 and sometimes it requires more. Ordinarily we pay all of these expenses and we don’t require our clients to
repay them, unless the case results in a favorable settlement or verdict. We know how to find the expert witness physicians needed to prove a case, and we are willing to take malpractice cases on a contingent
basis, usually a fee of 40% of the recovery, if there is one. Cerebral Palsy and other Birth Defects Bill Parsons and Barry Hill take a special interest in preventable fetal brain damage and other preventable injuries to the newborn. If you suspect more could have been done by
doctors, nurses, or the hospital to prevent such an injury, contact Bill or Barry.
