Burnett & Williams - Personal Injury Lawyers

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases are especially challenging. Burnett & Williams’ specialization in personal injury law increases the likelihood of your favorable outcome. To prevail in a malpractice action, a plaintiff is required to prove that a doctor, hospital, or other health care provider was negligent and that the negligence caused injury. Proof of each element, negligence and causation, generally requires expert testimony. We work with doctors throughout the country to determine whether malpractice has occurred and then to determine what the result would have been if the health care provider had complied with the standard of care required by law. Of course, the defendants will have their own experts and that is what makes most of these cases such a challenge. Countering the defendants’ experts requires comprehensive knowledge of the client’s case and an understanding of the medical issues involved. We are proud of our ability to overcome these challenges and to help make a difference for our clients who have been injured by malpractice. Because these cases can be so difficult to prove, we are selective about the cases we take. Our entire organization is build around the needs of PI clients and once we take a case we are dogged in our pursuit of justice.
