Medical Negligence and Professional Malpractice in Lafayette, Louisiana
When a professional receives an education, passes an exam, acquires a certification and takes an oath, he or she commits to upholding a certain standard of professional care. Failing to adhere to that standard can ruin lives, cause millions of dollars worth of damage and irreversibly injure or kill innocent people. However, many cases raise difficult questions about whether an individual has breached a professional standard or duty.

Medical Malpractice
Among all professional malpractice lawsuits, medical malpractice is the most common. This is because doctors work with the human body and have the potential to cause extraordinary injuries. Surgical errors, birth errors, medication errors, anesthesiology and other errors happen far more often than is reported in the news. However, filing a successful medical malpractice lawsuit can be extremely difficult.
Before you can file a lawsuit, you must first submit the claim to a medical review panel made up of three doctors. These panels usually rule in favor of the doctor, and if the case proceeds to trial, the members of the panel will likely testify against you. While you face an uphill battle, the challenge is not insurmountable. I will review your case, and if I believe we have a chance at prevailing, I will work diligently to help you recover the compensation you need.
I have extensive medical knowledge and I am able to discuss injuries and medical treatments fluently. I will recruit medical experts to help, and I can also argue against your doctor and the members of the medical review panel in court. My office has a Registered Nurse on staff to help make sure you receive the medical care you need.
