Medical Malpractice Attorney in Owensboro

Medical malpractice is when a doctor, nurse, or any healthcare professional does not provide the quality of care needed to ensure a safe recovery. To put it simply, if a medical professional goes against their oath and causes you more harm than good during their treatment plan, it could be considered medical malpractice. 

For example, if you hurt your shoulder and your doctor assigns you physical therapy rather than giving you an MRI, and this causes more damage to your shoulder, it is an incident of malpractice. 

Examples of malpractice can range from inaccurate diagnoses, failed treatments that cause more harm than good, or even injuries, surgical errors, incorrect doses of medicine, etc. However, it is best to receive legal advice immediately since specific cases are not always black and white, and the grey areas could be very important. 

It is important to call our office as soon as possible so an experienced lawyer can access whether or not you are eligible for a medical malpractice case.

• Enlist medical experts: We will contact Kentucky’s most notable medical experts to help strengthen your case. 
• Negotiate on your behalf: Insurance companies can be onerous and negotiating for full coverage can be challenging, but having our track record of success gives our clients peace of mind that our lawyers can obtain as much coverage as possible.
