Medical Malpractice:

When a doctor makes a mistake in your health care, it can have life long consequences. A medical error can cause serious injury, disability, permanent damages, and even death. When a doctor or hospital makes a medical error that causes an injury or death, the injury victim and their family may be able to recover damages to compensate them for their losses. Medical malpractice and wrongful death claims have a time limit known as a statute of limitations. A medical malpractice attorney can make sure the claim is filed in a timely manner. If a complaint is filed even one day late, the injury victim may be barred from recovering any damages. There is also a pre-suit investigation period that is complex, and must be adhered to according to very specific guidelines.

Simply put, I was victorious because I chose Knight Law! They are the best!! The scope of my specific performance suit was complex involving federal and state courts. For almost a year I searched for a firm that could handle the case. Was only met with disappointment and frustration, but then by the grace of God I found Knight Law. The Knight Law team are legal geniuses, they will find a way to get it done and be successful. That being said, I won every motion, got my property, and recovered all costs. In addition to hard results, they were a pleasure to interact with. Kept me together when I was falling apart, and walked the miles when I lost the strength. They cared about me, my case and a great outcome. Yirmi and the team were outstanding in every way! Hire Knight Law!! Just do it!! You will be happy!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is defined as negligent treatment by a medical provider, including doctors, hospitals, nurses, chiropractors, therapists, or other medical practitioners. A medical provider who does not act in a manner that is considered the accepted standard of care in diagnosing or treating a condition can be held responsible for all damages that result, including pain and suffering, medical bills, loss of wages, or wrongful death. Knight Law has experienced attorneys ready to guide you on how to proceed in pursuing legal action to seek the appropriate justice for your loss.
How do I know if a medical malpractice occurred?
Medical malpractice occurs when someone is injured because a health care provider’s treatment deviated from the accepted standard of care for medical professionals in his or her practice area. However, being injured while being treated by a doctor does not necessarily mean that you will have a claim for malpractice. You will have the burden of proof to show by a preponderance of the evidence that each of the elements of malpractice occurred. These elements include the following: There was a provider-patient relationship, the medical provider’s treatment fell below the expected standard of care, the incompetent treatment caused your injuries, and you suffered calculable losses as a result.
