Injuries From Medical Negligence
When the medical professionals entrusted with your health cause lasting injury through error or neglect, there may be a claim for medical malpractice. However, there is a high standard of proof in these cases, and doctors and their insurance companies are reluctant to settle.
Mallon & Hale, Ltd., has secured settlements and verdicts in medical malpractice cases. From more than 35 years of combined experience in injury litigation, we know what questions to ask and what documents to look for in order to prove the negligent actions or inaction of doctors, nurses or hospitals.
We handle cases in the greater St. Louis area, Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri. If you suspect medical negligence caused a loved one's injury or untimely death, contact our law office in Wood River for a free case evaluation with an experienced trial lawyer.
Medical Malpractice Claims in Illinois and Missouri
Tort reform in Illinois has made it even tougher to win "med mal" cases. It is not enough that a physician's mistake had an adverse outcome — we must also prove that the malpractice is directly linked to permanent injury or death. Mallon & Hale has handled all types of medical negligence cases:
- Surgical error
- Failure to diagnose cancer
- Medication errors
- Birth injury
- Failure to monitor patients
We have recovered damages for brain injury, nerve damage, organ damage, heart attack, stroke and other conditions leading to fatalities. Our law firm has the resources to retain top experts in various medical fields to testify that the doctor or facility deviated from the standard of care. We work with many professionals to calculate the financial impact and appropriate damages for the personal impact of a disabling medical outcome. And we have the courtroom experience and confidence to take medical malpractice cases to a jury when necessary to hold medical providers accountable.
Call Mallon & Hale at 888-854-2495 or e-mail us. We give our honest analysis in a free consultation, and we do not recover our expenses or attorney fees unless we reach a settlement or win damages at trial. Our law office is handicapped accessible with a ramp for our clients to use.
