We handle medical malpractice cases on a contingent fee basis, so we will charge you no fees unless you end up getting financial compensation.
Getting Answers for Injured and Grieving Clients
As highly trained professionals, doctors are held to certain medical standards of care. These standards do not necessarily prevent anything from going wrong, but they substantially reduce the risk involved in medical procedures. When doctors fail to follow their professional standards, they can be held legally responsible for the consequences, including the following:
- Birth injuries
- Surgical errors
- Nerve injuries
- Failure to diagnose an illness
Every medical injury case is different. If you believe you've been injured by a doctor, we can help you determine whether you have a valid claim for medical malpractice. The first thing we must do under Iowa law is get expert opinion from a qualified doctor. There are strict deadlines for medical malpractice cases, so you should see a lawyer right away for a case assessment and investigation.
We will give you our honest opinion on your case, and if we believe you have a valid claim, we will vigorously pursue the compensation you deserve.
Holding All Types of Professionals Responsible
While medical malpractice is the most commonly litigated form of professional malpractice, other professionals are required to follow certain standards of care and can be held legally accountable for violating those standards. We help clients pursue compensation for malpractice by all types of professionals, including the following:
- Dental malpractice
- Attorney malpractice
- Engineering malpractice
Like medical malpractice cases, other professional malpractice cases also require an expert opinion to be prepared. If you've been injured due to the negligence of a doctor, lawyer or any other professional, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your options.
