Louisville Medical Malpractice Lawyers Serving Jefferson County and Surrounding Counties in Kentucky
When we are sick or in need of care, we place our trust, as well as our health and our very lives, in the hands of doctors, hospitals and medical professionals with the education and training to treat us and care for us properly. When physicians and other healthcare providers fail to perform their jobs with the necessary degree of competence or care, they can and should be held liable for the damage their medical malpractice has caused. For the personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at the Louisville law firm of Ewing & Willis, medical negligence is a particular area of focus and concern. Our lawyers handle all types of medical malpractice cases, including those involving the following:
- Surgical Errors and Medical Mistakes
- Foreign Objects left inside patient after surgery
- Misdiagnosis/Failure to Diagnose
- Hospital/Nursing Negligence
- Pharmaceutical and Prescription Negligence
- Nursing Home Negligence
Medical Malpractice Cases Are Often Challenging and Complex
Proving a case of medical negligence usually requires proving that a physician failed to perform according to the acceptable standard of care expected of other doctors in the region of comparable education or training. Often this requires the use of medical experts to testify as to the appropriate level of care and also to give their opinion as to whether the doctor in question failed to live up to that standard on the occasion in question. Both sides have their own experts, and the testimony can be quite technical and difficult to understand. At Ewing & Willis, our experienced courtroom litigators are skilled in the art of communicating with juries; we work to present even the most complicated medical testimony in an understandable and persuasive manner.
