Are You the Victim of Medical Malpractice?
At the Studstill Firm, LLP we know that most doctors and nurses are talented, caring and dedicated professionals. Several members of our own family are themselves doctors. However, mistakes do happen and medical mistakes can have a devastating impact on an individual or family.
Medical malpractice (commonly called med mal) usually occurs in one of two ways: a medical professional fails to perform his or her job properly, or an institution (such as a hospital) fails to properly coordinate patient care processes. Either form of medical negligence may result in worsening of existing injuries, creating new health problems, or even causing premature death.
If you or someone in your family has been injured or had an illness worsen due to surgical errors, medication mistakes, improper diagnosis, or a birth injury, we can help you obtain the full cash value for your injuries, losses, pain and suffering, medical expenses and lost wages.

- Birth injuries (such as shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy or cerebral palsy)
