Mobile, Alabama – A Medical and Legal Malpractice Lawyer Will Pursue Restitution
Healthcare providers and attorneys are supposed to be capable and trustworthy. When they are not, it can often feel like an immense betrayal. At the Mobile, Alabama firm of Burns, Cunningham & Mackey, P.C., a medical or legal malpractice attorney can provide dependable representation in seeking recovery of damages incurred as a result of the professional negligence of a lawyer or healthcare provider. It is distressing that in Mobile and other Alabama communities, claims of medical or legal malpractice are becoming more prevalent. A skilled and knowledgeable lawyer from our firm can protect your right to capable and effective care or representation and assist in the return of compensation for any injuries or damages incurred.
Understanding Medical and Legal Malpractice
Healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners are held to delivering a particular standard of care. Lawyers are supposed to uphold a reasonable expectation of competent and judicious representation. When these benchmarks are not met, and performance or conduct dips well below the accepted norm for the profession, concerns of professional malpractice or negligence can surface, and the need for an effective medical or legal malpractice attorney may arise.
Medical Malpractice
When we are sick, we go to the doctor to get better. No one expects to receive an inaccurate diagnosis or to be injured or made even sicker from treatment or surgery. As much as we would like to believe otherwise, medical professionals are not infallible. For whatever reasons, accidents do happen.
In these instances, you can turn to the Mobile, Alabama firm of Burns, Cunningham & Mackey, P.C., for a medical malpractice lawyer to settle your claim and obtain the compensation to which you are entitled.
Some causes of medical malpractice suits include:
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose or treat
- Inaccurate X-ray and diagnostic imaging diagnoses
- Delayed diagnosis
- Mistakes or errors made in surgery
- Birth injuries
Medical malpractice is a form of personal injury and can result in severe brain damage, paralysis, and death. Medical malpractice typically leads to exorbitant medical expenses and emotional damages suffered by the victim and/or his or her family. Medical professionals have a professional and ethical obligation to provide uncompromising care to their patients. It is unfortunate that the failure of living up to this obligation is becoming a far too disturbing reality.
At Burns, Cunningham & Mackey, P.C., we employ a professional paralegal who is also a registered nurse. We also retain the consulting services of a practicing medical doctor. These individuals have proven to be valuable assets to our Mobile, Alabama firm, and can assist the medical malpractice attorney in your lawsuit by providing expert opinions and guidance that can strengthen the validity of your claim.
