Medical Malpractice and Healthcare Negligence Law

Medical malpractice is the cornerstone of our accomplished personal injury litigation services.  Medical negligence or “malpractice” occurs when a physician, surgeon, dentist, or other healthcare provider deviates from the generally accepted standards of medical care and either intentionally or carelessly causes harm to the patient.  Frequently, negligent medical care takes the form of a doctor’s failure to diagnose a serious condition, such as cancer, that another doctor would have easily been able to detect with proper examination but which becomes life threatening because it was not properly diagnosed.   Alternatively, medical malpractice may arise from the incompetent delivery of a baby where the baby or mother suffers injury, or from the negligent over-prescribing of medication that causes injury or death to the plaintiff patient.  Health-care providers must strictly follow certain standards when caring for patients, and must also carry malpractice insurance for negligence and mistakes.

We aggressively investigate and pursue claims for catastrophic injuries and death arising out of:

  • Birth Trauma
  • Failure to Diagnose Cancer and Other Diseases
  • Negligently Performed Surgery
  • Disfigurement
  • Inappropriate or Dangerous Treatment Practices
  • Inadequate Hospital Training or Maintenance
  • Improper Hospital Care
  • Pharmaceutical Injuries and Prescription Drug Errors

There are strict statutes of limitations that limit how long after your injury you are allowed to file a claim for compensation.  If you do not file within these deadlines, compensation for your injury and suffering could be permanently barred.  This is why it is imperative to consult with our experienced medical malpractice attorneys, who can advise you on whether you should pursue a claim and what your legal options are.  We can help you determine whether or not malpractice has occurred and how to proceed in filing a claim.

Motor Vehicle and Truck Accidents

Serious car or motorcycle accidents and other motor vehicle accidents require the guidance of an experienced attorney to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Our Maryville Tennessee truck accident and injury lawyers have years of practice and an impressive track record of successfully representing people who have suffered significant injuries in motor vehicle accidents involving either commercial vehicles (such as 18 wheeler tractor trailers) or personal vehicles. We communicate directly with insurance companies and with physicians and other health care providers to assess and review all the short and long-term medical aspects of your case.

Our detailed knowledge of Tennessee’s automobile, insurance and liability laws means we understand the different sources of recovery available to car accident victims and their families as well as the various theories of liability that enable those victims to collect from the parties who caused them harm.  We are in contact with investigators and experts all over the country to assist in these claims whenever necessary.

Plaintiff Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

We represent individuals and the families of individuals who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others. We understand how insurance companies and lawyers on the other side think.  Insurance companies are interested in minimizing their economic exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred. They hire attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of the your claim and prevent you from receiving the greatest compensation possible. We know their tactics. We take on each case as if it will proceed to trial and we are not afraid to pursue your claim through a jury verdict if that is what your best possible result requires. Our firm represents individuals injured in all types of situations including industrial, construction, and equipment-related accidents.
