Medical malpractice is not limited to medical doctors. It applies also to osteopaths, nurses, dentists, health care facilities and others providing health care services. If you have questions about a potential medical malpractice claim, contact our firm to schedule a consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney.
Dealing with Medical Malpractice
Doctors, nursing staff and other medical professionals have the responsibility to follow established standards of care when treating patients. Unfortunately, when these individuals fail to follow those standards, patients can suffer catastrophic and fatal injuries. For victims and their families, obtaining compensation is important for recovery and for the psychological closure, justice and accountability that it provides.
At the Edwardsville, Illinois, law firm of John J. Hopkins & Associates, our lawyers have more than 30 years of legal experience and provide knowledgeable and compassionate legal service to victims and their families. To discuss your situation with us and learn more about whether filing a claim is in your best interests, contact us for a free initial consultation at 888-779-6064.
