What Medical Malpractice Means
Medical professionals are required to meet certain standards of care that are established by the medical community. When they fail to meet these standards, and their actions result in the injury or death of a patient, medical malpractice may have occurred.
For example, if a gastroenterologist performs a colonoscopy on a patient and fails to identify observable symptoms of colon cancer, the patient may be able to sue the doctor for damages caused by the delay in diagnosis that prevented them from seeking timely treatment for their cancer.
What Our Attorneys Can Do for You
Investigate your case. Our medical malpractice lawyers can carefully review your medical records, examine comparable cases, and gather other evidence to determine whether the care you received met accepted standards.
Consult medical experts. Our Charleston medical malpractice attorneys work closely with some of the most respected medical experts in West Virginia. These credible witnesses are often critical in proving medical malpractice cases.
Negotiate with insurance companies. In some cases, the insurance company of the medical professional or hospital accused of malpractice may offer the victim a settlement to keep the lawsuit from going to trial. Our attorneys can present evidence about the severity of your injuries to the insurance company and fight to make sure that you receive full compensation for past and future damages.
Take your case to trial. If an appropriate settlement cannot be reached, Morgan & Morgan is ready, willing, and able to take your case to trial. Our medical malpractice attorneys have a proven record of winning large awards for our clients, and we will work tirelessly to recover the compensation you deserve.
