Dealing Realistically with the Unimaginable

You don’t want to think about it.  You don’t even want to imagine the possibility of it.  But you cannot escape it.  The doctors in whose hands we place our lives, to whom we entrust our entire well-being, sometimes make mistakes.  Sleep deprived residents cannot concentrate, fail to administer the correct tests and miss diagnoses.  Or they fail to read your medical charts, and they overlook a drug allergy.  Overworked primary care physicians miss the obscure symptoms and fail to treat your illness at all.  The unimaginable happens.  Doctors sometimes make very painful and costly mistakes.

If your physician or therapist has failed to treat you, done something to aggravate your illness or injury, or caused permanent damage through an improper or faulty procedure, the law guarantees your rights and reasonable compensation.

If you suffer the consequences of medical malpractice, you need a skilled attorney’s assistance. 

A knowledgeable, experienced attorney will guide you step-by-step through the process of filing suit against and recovering damages from the physician who hurt you.  With extensive training in both medicine and law, and with a long history of successful advocacy on behalf of people just like you, an expert medical malpractice attorney will secure the benefits to which you are entitled. 

Thoughtful, insightful, and compassionate, your medical malpractice attorney will make the case for your “loss of the enjoyment of life”—the exact legal phrase they use.  You have missed a great deal of work; you deserve compensation for those days, weeks, and months.  You have incurred extra medical costs because of your physician’s mistake; the physician should pay those expenses.  Your illness has cheated you of your favorite activities and fun times with your family; you deserve some recompense for those losses.  And the physician must learn that you and people just like you will not tolerate mistakes like he made in your case: punitive damages send a very strong message.

Although your attorney certainly will understand no amount of money ever can make-up for the betrayal of your trust, the quality of your health, the pain and suffering you have endured, nevertheless she can bring some measure of relief to your pain and suffering.  And she can help you begin rebuilding your life.  In many cases your attorney’s aggressive representation costs you nothing and you pay only if you win.
