Most doctors and other health care workers are well-trained, conscientious professionals who do a wonderful job improving their patient’s quality of life. At some point in our lives, almost all of us will put our health and well-being into the hands of a trained medical professional — and receive careful and excellent care.
Unfortunately, though, the simple fact is that some doctors and hospitals make unnecessary mistakes that cause preventable injury or untimely death. When this happens, doctors must be held accountable — just like the driver of a car would be held accountable for injuries caused by reckless driving.
The law allows victims of a doctor's mistake to seek financial compensation via a lawsuit for medical malpractice or medical negligence.
Experienced and Knowledgeable Medical Malpractice Attorneys
The law firm of Wiseman Bray PLLC, with offices in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee, has tremendous respect and admiration for medical profession. Many of our close friends and family work in the health care field, and we take allegations of medical negligence very seriously.
Every year, we investigate a large number of potential medical malpractice claims, but only a few of them end up being viable legal cases. Medical malpractice cases are time-consuming and costly — and they are difficult to prove. It is not enough to suffer an injury at the hands of a doctor.
What Does Medical Malpractice Mean?
A successful medical malpractice case requires proving that the injury occurred because the doctor did not perform his or her duties with the same professional standard of care as another doctor would have performed the same duty under similar circumstances.
Because the standard of proof is so high in medical malpractice cases, our team of medical malpractice attorneys carefully scrutinizes every medical malpractice case. The types of medical malpractice and medical negligence cases we review include:
- Pharmacy errors
- Chiropractor malpractice
- Birth injuries
- Nursing home negligence and abuse
- Emergency room errors
- Surgical errors
- Mismanagement of care by a hospital
- Failure to diagnose and misdiagnosis cases
