Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Mississippi

Need Experienced, Reliable Legal Help? Our Mississippi Lawyers Can Help!

When you visit a medical facility, you expect the doctors, nurses, and other staff members who help you to have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide a certain standard of care. Medical staff members must be experienced and professional because any mistakes they make could lead to serious injury or even death. If a medical facility or practitioner engages in a doctor-patient with either you or your loved one, they should be held responsible for any injuries caused by inexcusable errors or acts of negligence.

At Richard Schwartz & Associates Injury Lawyers, P.A., we can investigate the circumstances of your injury and work to hold the negligent parties accountable for any damage they caused you or your family. With over 40 years of legal experience behind us, you can rest easy knowing your case is in good hands.

Establishing a Medical Malpractice Claim

If you were injured due to the negligence or mistakes of a medical professional or medical care facility, a few things must be true in order for your situation to qualify for a medical malpractice claim.

  • There Existed a Legal Duty: The potential claimant must establish that the medical professional who caused harm had a doctor-patient relationship with the harmed individual.
  • Breach of Legal Duty: The medical professional must have failed to provide competent care to the patient who was harmed. This means the doctor, nurse, etc. must have failed to act in a way that any other qualified medical professional would have under the same circumstances.
  • The Breach of Duty Caused Harm: It must be proven that the error or negligence the medical professional committed caused harm to the patient. In other words, it was the doctor’s mistake, and not some other factor, that caused the injury in question.
  • Injury or Damages Existed: Injuries or other damages must exist. These injuries can be physical or mental, and can also include financial damages.

Common Questions

This depends on your situation. People who have been injured are oftentimes better off if they get professional representation. Insurance companies are in the business of making money for themselves, and the less they pay the more they make! That being said, not everyone needs to hire an accident attorney, but please call our firm anytime for a 100% free consultation to speak with a specialist who can analyze your individual circumstances.

This depends a lot on three factors: 1) the severity of your injuries; 2) who was at fault in the accident; and, 3) the insurance policies available to cover your claims. Generally speaking, the more severe your injuries, the less you were at fault, and the more insurance coverage available to cover your claims -- the more your case will be worth. If you'd like a free assessment of the strength of your case -- please call us at 601-988-8888.

If you've been seriously injured in an accident, we don't recommend it. Speaking with the insurance company before speaking with an attorney, even if it's your own insurance company, can, unfortunately, be detrimental to your case. And it is always best to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney near you about your case before giving any kind of recording statement.
