Medical Negligence Legal Services

Pursue Legal Options After Medical Negligence

When you go to the doctor, you have the expectation of quality care. When medical professionals fall short in their duty, the consequences can be devastating for patients and their families. In these cases, Smith Barkett Law Group can help with a medical negligence lawsuit to achieve relief.

Medical professionals can be held liable when they do not uphold a professional standard of care. If their lapses result in injuries or wrongful death, it could be considered medical malpractice. Lawsuits are viable in cases when procedures, devices, or medications are handled negligently, recklessly, or incorrectly.

At Smith Barkett Law Group, we know how heartbreakingly common these situations are. One study out of Johns Hopkins suggests that 250,000 people die of medical errors in the United States each year. Medical malpractice is actually the third leading cause of death in this country.

Obviously, a lawsuit can't undo the damage. Nothing can give you back the life you had. However, getting compensation can give you the support you need to recover. You may be eligible for economic damages, such as medical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and more.

It's also possible to recover non-economic damages. This could include compensation for wrongful death, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, and grief. These factors may be less tangible, but they can be even more important.

You don't have to face this difficult situation on your own. Smith Barkett Law Group can help you understand your options, and we'll build a strong case for medical negligence to meet the evidentiary requirements needed to maximize compensation.

Call now and we'll be there for you. We can meet you at your home or hospital room to discuss your case. Our consultations are free, and you won't pay any attorney fees until your compensation is received.
