We trust doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to care for us when we are sick or injured and need medical attention. We trust them with our lives and the lives of our loved ones. The vast majority of the time that trust is well placed. However, all too frequently, physicians, dentists, chiropractors, therapists, and other medical professionals make preventable errors that harm their patients, sometimes fatally.

If you have been the victim of a medical error, please contact a medical malpractice/pharmaceutical liability lawyer at Hornsby, Watson & Hornsby in Huntsville, Alabama, today to arrange a free consultation and case evaluation. We represent medical malpractice clients on a contingency basis, so you will pay no up-front fees and no fees at all unless we win your case.

Preventable medical errors cause up to 195,000 deaths a year, according to a study by HealthGrades, Inc. That makes medical mistakes the sixth leading cause of death in America, ahead of diabetes, pneumonia, Alzheimer’s disease, and renal disease.

Please contact us if you have been injured or if a loved one suffered a wrongful death from any type of medical error, including those involving:

• Surgical errors
• Emergency room errors
• Prescription errors
• Operating on the wrong body part
• Instruments left behind
• Birth injury
• Failure to diagnose cancer or other conditions
• Misdiagnosis

Our attorneys will find reliable medical experts to review your medical records and determine whether standards of care were violated or if a doctor’s negligence caused you harm.

Our focus is to help you receive the full amount of compensation you deserve and to help prevent others from suffering the same injury as you or your loved endured.
