According to the Institute of Medicine, preventable medical errors kill an estimated 98,000 people every year at a cost of $29 billion. Because of the nature of the industry, it's important for patient safety that attorneys are willing to undertake medical malpractice suits to bolster rather than undermine accountability — no other alternative promotes this kind of ownership and responsibility to the same degree.
At the same time, malpractice personal injury cases can be extremely complicated and are some of the most expensive to undertake. Often times a lawyer or firm advances much of the cost.

Providence Medical Malpractice Attorney
It's worth noting that most of the time medical professionals do an exemplary job. Our job is to find out if/what went wrong with your procedure, how and why. From there, we can work toward compensation that will help you elevate the quality of life for you or your loved one.
One example of our successful results:
Our client went in for surgery to her cervical spine and as a result of the surgeon causing an injury to vertebral artery she did not survive the surgery. We represented her son and the estate, and were able to reach a confidential settlement for the benefit of her son without him ever having to endure a day in court.
