Most healthcare professionals can be trusted with our well-being, but doctors and nurses are still human and they are bound to make mistakes. Regretfully, every year patients are harmed by negligent medical care.
Medical malpractice can occur for several reasons such as:
- neglect by a health care professional
- substandard treatment that caused harm, injury or death
- incorrect medication or the wrong dosage prescribed
- a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
- unnecessary delay of treatment
- surgical errors
- even miscommunication can lead to medical malpractice
Entering into mediation, negotiations, or even into a courtroom with an experienced medical malpractice attorney on your side can mean the difference between success and failure in obtaining deserved compensation.
Consider these significant benefits to working with a professional malpractice attorney:
Documentation
Our lawyers are experienced in obtaining medical records and other pertinent information including insurance records, medical bills, and proof of lost income to show the extent of the damages a patient has suffered.
Expert Testimony
Medical malpractice cases are usually complex and technical. In order to prove a case, expert witnesses may be required. A skilled attorney has multiple resources and understands the process of obtaining qualified medical and other witnesses who can speak on your behalf.
Representation
The attorneys at Gerling Law are experienced in fighting insurance companies for your rights. A medical malpractice attorney can secure a far larger settlement than you could going at it on your own.
A Final Word
Every malpractice case is unique and requires a detailed analysis of all elements of fault, liability, causation, and damages to determine the value of the claim.
At Gerling Law with locations in Evansville, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Owensboro we are dedicated to getting the compensation you deserve through aggressive advocacy, high-quality legal representation, and a commitment to results.
