Medical Malpractice

Doctors and those who practice medicine have a very important and valuable role. While the majority of health care providers aim to exercise the highest standard of care for all patents, there are times when things can go gravely wrong. The law states that doctors are held to a higher standard of care when practicing medicine than the ordinary reasonable care owned by a lay person in conducting his or her daily affairs. As a result, when a doctor fails to maintain this heightened standard of care, the consequences can be disastrous.

Medical malpractice cases are generally sought by patients who have been harmed or injured due to poor medical provision by a doctor, nurse, technician, hospital, or medical worker. A variety of situations can lead to medical malpractice claim – from an error in anesthesia to failure to diagnose cancer.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a medical provider, it is important that you contact us immediately. Due to statute of limitations (i.e. how long you have to file your medical malpractice lawsuit) issues, you may only have a short period of time to file a case. Don’t let the complexity of the medical field make you a victim of negligence. The Walker Firm welcomes the opportunity to discuss your case with you.

Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing homes and various living assistance facilities are set up with the purpose of caring for elderly loved ones when they can no longer fully care for themselves.
