Medical Malpractice

Birth injury

A birth injury can alter the course of your child's life and place an enormous emotional and financial burden on your entire family. Our attorneys understand the profound impact these cases carry, and we are committed to standing by your side from investigation through resolution. We work to secure full compensation for every loss you have faced, including past and future medical expenses, rehabilitation and special education costs, home modifications to accommodate a disability, lost future earnings, and damages for pain and suffering.

Birth injury cases demand a deep understanding of obstetric and neonatal medical standards, which is why we work closely with medical experts to establish the full extent of your child's injuries and prove negligence before, during, or after delivery. Our team includes a physician and two registered nurses who assist directly on these cases, giving us an unmatched ability to evaluate and challenge the medical decisions that led to your child's harm.

Common types of
birth injuries

Our attorneys handle the full spectrum of birth injury cases, including those involving brain injuries such as cerebral palsy and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, hypoxia and asphyxia, shoulder dystocia, brachial palsy and other forms of nerve damage, broken and fractured bones, paralysis, and wrongful death.

If your child suffered any of these injuries, or a similar injury resulting from medical negligence, our Jackson, Mississippi birth injury lawyers are here to help. We will walk you through your legal options, answer every question you have, and make sure you feel confident and informed in every decision you make about your case.

Failure to treat

When a doctor fails to diagnose or treat a serious condition, the consequences can be devastating. Delayed or withheld care can accelerate injury, shorten a life, or in the most tragic cases, cause death. Healthcare professionals have a legal and ethical duty to their patients, and when negligence breaches that duty, our attorneys are prepared to hold them accountable.

We represent clients who have suffered harm resulting from a failure to provide appropriate treatment, including heart conditions and heart attacks, strokes and aneurysms, disabilities, brain injuries, back injuries, and chronic pain. These are just a handful of the conditions that can result from medical negligence, and whether your symptoms are new or an existing condition has been worsened by a provider's failure to act, we are here to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Failure to treat cases require expert-level knowledge of current medical standards and practices. Our team includes a physician and two registered nurses who work alongside leading medical experts to build the strongest possible case for our clients. Backed by over 40 years of medical malpractice experience, our attorneys bring a depth of healthcare litigation knowledge that few firms in Mississippi and Tennessee can match.

Medication errors

We trust doctors, pharmacists, and anesthesiologists to prescribe and administer the right medication at the right dose. When that trust is broken through error or negligence, the consequences can be severe, leaving patients with serious side effects, worsening conditions, or injuries that could have been entirely prevented.

Our attorneys represent clients harmed by all types of medication errors, including incorrect dosages, where too much of a medication can cause overdose and lasting side effects while too little allows an underlying condition to worsen; incorrect medications, which can cause dual harm through adverse side effects and the absence of proper treatment for the actual illness; preventable drug interactions, where doctors and pharmacists fail to account for the combined effect of all medications a patient is taking; and incorrect directions, where a lack of clear guidance on frequency or dosage leads to improper use and preventable injury.

These errors can have a lasting impact on your health, your finances, and your quality of life. Our Jackson, Mississippi medical malpractice attorneys are committed to holding negligent medical professionals accountable and securing the full compensation our clients deserve.

Misdiagnosis

A misdiagnosis can set off a chain of serious, life-altering consequences. While your real condition goes untreated, you may be subjected to the wrong medications, unnecessary procedures, and mounting medical expenses, all while your actual illness continues to progress. In the most serious cases, a missed or incorrect diagnosis can lead to permanent injury or wrongful death.

Time is critical. Mississippi and Tennessee impose strict statutes of limitations on medical malpractice claims, meaning that waiting to contact an attorney can permanently forfeit your right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you believe you have been misdiagnosed, do not wait to seek legal counsel.

For more than 40 years, our attorneys have represented clients in complex misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment claims, reviewing thousands of medical malpractice cases across Mississippi and Tennessee. We conduct thorough investigations into your medical records, examine whether proper tests and procedures were followed, and work alongside leading medical experts to establish exactly how and why you were misdiagnosed and the full extent of the harm caused.

Cancer and heart conditions are among the most frequently misdiagnosed serious illnesses, and in both cases a delayed or incorrect diagnosis can mean the difference between recovery and wrongful death. If a medical professional failed to correctly identify your condition, our Jackson, Mississippi misdiagnosis attorneys are ready to fight for the accountability and compensation you deserve.
