Professional Liability Law

The most important principle of our American system of justice is that everyone is equal in our courts of law.

We believe in this principle. When you hire a professional, you do so to obtain expert advice and skilled services. You place your health, happiness, and in some cases your life in their hands with the expectation that they will meet or exceed the standards of their profession. We further believe that lawyers, doctors, and other professionals should be held accountable for substandard practices that damage their clients and patients.

The law of professional liability, and professional liability insurance, exist to provide a system to compensate people injured by the negligence of professionals, including lawyers and physicians.

Medical and legal malpractice cases are difficult, expensive, and complex. You should only hire an attorney who is experienced and who makes you feel comfortable.

Medical Malpractice

Doctors, nurses, technicians, and any medical professional offering healthcare services may make grievous errors resulting in serious personal injury. Common types of medical malpractice include:

• Birth injuries or trauma
• Failure to diagnose, treat, or monitor a condition
• Delay in diagnosis or misdiagnosis
• Medical negligence
• Surgical or anesthesia errors
• Prescription drug errors
• Misuse of medical devices
• Failure to obtain the informed consent of the patient
