We Take the Complexities Out of Medical Negligence
Many people believe that winning a medical malpractice injury or wrongful death case is nearly impossible. Doctors have earned a lot of respect in our society and most of them deserve it. We follow a simple road map to determine whether a doctor's mistake led to an injury or death. We prepare every case to answer these three simple rules of the road that all medical professionals adhere to:
- A doctor is responsible for everything on the X-ray and other diagnostic tests
- A doctor must check and double-check everything, before making a cut or prescribing a treatment
- A doctor must take reasonable precautions to identify and preserve important body structures that may be affected by the treatment or surgical procedure
With over 30 year's experience, Steven Watson knows how to make it clear when a doctor has erred.
Examining Safety Standards and Regulations
Several nationally-respected organizations publish professional safety standards for doctors. They include the Joint Commission on Health Care and Accredited Organizations, the Institute of Medicine and the Institute for Safe Medicine Practices. By examining the facts of your medical malpractice case, we can demonstrate precisely how negligence caused the injury.
Omaha has many of the nation's top medical professionals, but that does not mean that critical errors do not occur. Our firm has successfully obtained settlements and jury awards for victims of medical negligence at:
