Serious Medical-Malpractice Litigation throughout the
United States

Helping victims of medical malpractice  recover compensation
A special relationship exists between physicians and their patients. Physicians have a duty to their patients to provide a certain standard of care — using at least the level of skill, care and diligence that is generally exercised by fellow practitioners in the medical professions. It is considered medical malpractice when a medical professional breaches that duty through negligence or carelessness and causes injury to a patient. Medical-malpractice victims may recover compensation for their injuries, including for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost income.

Sumner Medical Law routinely obtains generous settlements and awards on cases involving birth injuries, orthopedic surgeries, anesthesia, emergency medicine, hospital nursing care, and prescription drug mistakes.

To prevail on a medical malpractice claim, expert medical testimony is generally required to establish that the medical care or diagnosis was negligent and that this negligence caused the patient’s injuries. Sumner Medical Law regularly consults with a number of licensed medical professionals and retains prominent medical experts who have a gift for clearly explaining medical mistakes to jurors.
