How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, and that deviation causes you harm. Not every bad outcome is malpractice — but if your condition worsened because of a doctor's error or negligence, you may have a claim. We review medical records with independent experts to determine if your case has merit.

Are medical malpractice cases expensive to pursue?

These cases require expert medical testimony and extensive investigation, which can be costly. We advance all case costs and you pay nothing unless we win. This allows you to pursue your claim without financial risk.

Can I sue a hospital, or only the individual doctor?

Both. Hospitals can be held liable for the negligence of their employees, for inadequate staffing, and for systemic failures. We investigate the full chain of responsibility to identify every liable party.

The Situation

A bad outcome is not the same as malpractice. To have a claim, the provider must have deviated from the accepted standard of care AND that deviation must have caused your harm. Proving both requires independent expert review of your medical records. We advance all case costs — you pay nothing unless we recover.
