Medical Malpractice

In matters of health, we rightly turn to a doctor or hospital for help.  We place our lives and the lives of our loved ones in their hands.  We trust them to be knowledgeable.  We trust them to be skillful.  We trust them to be careful.  When that trust is broken, when that trust is betrayed, when those whom we look to for care and protection fail us, where then can we turn?

FALLGATTER FARMAND & CATLIN, P.A. understands the needs of victims of medical malpractice.  We understand the need to trust our medical providers and to be able to trust them.  We also understand they, too, make mistakes.  When a doctor or a hospital makes a mistake, the results can be catastrophic and fatal.  Unless doctors and hospitals are forced to answer and be accountable for their conduct, we are all at risk.  Our knowledge and skill in protecting and enforcing your rights in these matters is the answer.

Where malpractice has occurred, victims are alone and hurt.  It can seem like the entire system closes against them.  It often seems like an unwinnable situation, like David against Goliath.  This is where skillful and effective  advice, counsel, and help are most needed.  We recognize the needs of victims of medical malpractice.  We recognize your burdens.  We are here to help.

Not every case of an unwanted result means a doctor or hospital was negligent.  Not every act of negligence means malpractice.  Even where there is malpractice, there are many hurdles and procedural rules that can block a genuine claim.  There are strict and short time limits, and much to do within them.  We know the rules.  We have experience.  We care and want to help.  Talk to us.  Talk to an attorney.  Do it now.  The consultation is free.  There are no fees unless we succeed.*  You have rights and there are remedies.  Let us fight for your rights and get you the relief you are entitled to under the law.

* In some cases, clients will be asked to pay the costs associated with providing services.  These costs, which will be fully explained, never include fees for a lawyer’s time.
