We all trust our healthcare providers, but sometimes they make errors that are harmful to their patients. Malpractice cases occur when a patient suffers an injury from a medical treatment or after failing to receive adequate medical treatment. A bad medical result is not always malpractice, and knowing how to tell the difference is critical.

Not every bad outcome is medical malpractice. There must be substantial injury and evidence that physicians, nurses or hospital staff deviated from the accepted standard of care.
Medical malpractice can take many forms:
Malpractice litigation is extremely expensive and the legal threshold is high. As of November 2009, a certificate of good faith from an independent physician is first required to even file a medical negligence lawsuit. Going to trial or negotiating a settlement requires extensive documentation and expert testimony.
Of all the malpractice inquiries we receive, The Cantrell Law Firm will ultimately pursue only a few lawsuits. However, you may have one of those viable cases. It costs you nothing to have your potential malpractice claim evaluated. If we do pursue your case, there are no attorney fees unless we recover compensation.
