Medical Malpractice Attorney in Mobile

Medical malpractice comes in many shapes and sizes. A surgical error, like an organ getting cut and no notice or attempt to repair it being made, would qualify. But many different things count, including:

• Misdiagnosis, as well as the failure to diagnose a medical condition in a timely manner;
• Prescribing wrong drugs, causing harmful side effects or overdose;
• Over-prescribing drugs and helping cause a harmful addiction;
• Waiting too long or failing to perform a circumstantially necessary medical procedure, such as a C-section;
• Failing to follow proper medical hygiene procedures, leading to dangerous infections; and
• Failure to monitor patients.

This list isn’t exhaustive. Whether you’re going under the knife or not, if you leave a medical professional feeling worse than you started, and think they might be the one to blame, contacting an attorney could mean getting the help you need.

Medical malpractice is one of the most complex areas of the law because it includes concepts in both the medical and legal field that are advanced and difficult to explain, not to mention constantly evolving to meet new standards.

Alabama state law also imposes special procedural requirements on medical malpractice claims in an effort to discourage them, and encourage settlement before trial.

Our attorneys comb through medical records to get the most accurate depiction of what occurred as possible. These records are reviewed with medical professionals to determine their importance in relation to the case. If they hold any information that can help get you compensation, such as evidence of a breach of duty of care, you may be able to seek help. Our team of attorneys is well-versed in what it takes to win medical malpractice cases.
