Ballantyne Medical Malpractice Attorney

As reported by Johns Hopkins Medicine, a study reveals that medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in the U.S., with more than 250,000 deaths resulting from medical error every year. While we understand that medical professionals have a very difficult job, if someone under their care suffers serious or catastrophic injuries or dies, the parties involved must be held accountable. 

Serious injury or death can result from medical negligence. You have rights. If a medical professional fails to deliver the “accepted standard of care,” a lawsuit can be filed to pursue justice and full compensation. The accepted standard of care refers to the type of care that a reasonably competent healthcare professional would have provided under similar circumstances. The law provides a means of obtaining compensation so you can move on with your life and focus on your health, your family, and your future.

If you have lost a loved one or have suffered serious or life-threatening complications due to a medical error or lack of proper care, it is critical that you seek legal counsel immediately. These cases are typically very challenging, in large part because members of the medical community may be hesitant to provide testimony against their colleagues. Thankfully, at Law Office Thomas D. Bumgardner, PLLC, we have access to respected medical experts to assist in our medical malpractice cases.
