Medical and Dental Malpractice

Sometimes people are injured as a result of a doctor, dentist, nurse, hospital, or other medical provider making a mistake or failing to act in a way that conforms to the accepted standards of care. In some circumstances, that medical provider may be liable for the injured person’s damages. We have represented individuals and their families who have suffered as a result of a medical provider’s deviation from an acceptable standard of care in diagnosing or treating a medical condition.

Malpractice means negligence by a professional. A doctor, dentist, or hospital can be sued for failing to order tests, missing a diagnosis, delaying treatment or other unreasonable conduct which causes injury to a patient. Malpractice cases are almost always hotly contested. Doctors rarely will admit they have done wrong—and can almost always find a colleague to defend their professional judgment. Law firms accepting malpractice cases must invest substantial time and lots of money to help prove that the care (or lack of it) caused the patient’s bad outcome.

We handle the following kinds of malpractice cases:

• Bacterial Meningitis,
• Birth Injury,
• Heart Attacks,
• Hospital Mistake and Nursing Error, and
• Wrongful Death Lawsuits.

The Blankenship Law Firm has the resources and experience to handle this challenging area of law. We have experience with many different areas of medical malpractice. If you have a possible medical malpractice case, please call us or contact us for a case evaluation. Medical malpractice cases are taken on a contingency fee basis—we don’t get paid unless you get paid.
