Knoxville, TN Malpractice Attorney
We obtain justice and compensation for our Tennessee clients involved in legal and medical malpractice lawsuits.
Medical malpractice lawsuits can be filed against hospitals, doctors, surgeons, care givers or related healthcare staff whose services resulted in additional sickness, injury or death. Many malpractice lawsuits involve misdiagnosis, prescription errors, surgery mistakes, elder care negligence, or birth problems.
Each and every year thousands of people are injured or die as a result of medical malpractice. A study conducted in 1990 by the Harvard School of Medicine estimated that some 3% of patients treated in New York State Hospitals suffered as a result of some kind of medical mistake, which resulted in a serous injury.
Nationally, the same study estimated that each year over 180,000 people die in scenarios related at least in part to some form of medical malpractice. Public Citizen, the non-profit consumer advocacy organization, estimates that each year 1.3 million injuries are caused by professional negligence, and that more than two thirds of such injuries are preventable.
These lawsuits are designed to hold medical providers accountable while securing appropriate compensation for losses and suffering. Since a Statute of Limitations may apply to malpractice lawsuits, the victim or the victim's loved ones should file a complaint as soon as possible.
