Medical Malpractice

We are your advocates – passionate, tireless, and with a record of success.

The stories are everywhere. A pharmacy gives parents the wrong prescription for their premature baby, who becomes a quadriplegic. A woman has an abnormal pap smear but her doctor fails to tell her and she develops cervical cancer. A man with neck pain is sent home from the ER after X-rays are taken but not read – he returns paralyzed, from a broken neck.

One instance of negligence leads to another and a cascade of events results in an untimely and preventable death or serious injury. Adding to the pain, hospitals and physicians often refuse to settle – they bank on victims who do not have the energy or determination to go to trial.

We are your advocates. We stand up for people who have suffered terrible loss. Our expertise in medical procedures and diagnoses, combined with our tenacious investigative spirit, means we do not stop until a settlement is reached. In addition to each case we win, we are driven to create a safer environment for all patients requiring care.
