We fight for your rights.

Tennessee Medical Malpractice, Wrongful Death Lawyers.

We make a commitment to medical malpractice.

Doctors, chiropractors, and pharmacists make mistakes. Nurses do as well. Hospitals fail to adequately care for their patients. They all fail to follow the basic principles that are required in the health care industry. Failing to follow these basic rules of the road causes injury to real people. Diseases are misdiagnosed, patients are neglected, test results misread. People can and unfortunealy do die. Both myself and attorneys in our firm have made a commitment to help those who have been injured by medical malpractice. We will devote our time, resources and energy to fighting for you.

What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is professional negligence by act or omission by a health care provider in which care provided deviates from accepted standards of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death to the patient. Standards and regulations for medical malpractice vary by country and jurisdiction within countries. In Tennessee, you must show

• The standard of care in the medical profession, and the specialty practiced by the person or company you sued, in your community or in a similar community.
• The health care provider breached his or her duty to you, in that they failed to comply with that professional standard in your community.
• You were injured.
• Your injuries were proximately or directly caused by the breach of the health care provider

There can be numerous types of medical malpractice, including:

• Failure to properly diagnose a medical condition
• Failure to provide timely and proper treatment
• A lack of your informed consent for an operation or surgical procedure
• Failure to perform surgical techniques correctly
• Failure to monitor a patient after surgery
• Prescription errors
• Mistakes in the administration of anesthesia
• Failure of nursing staff to provide proper care

Time Limits Exist

You must file your lawsuit within a set period of time. Generally, you only have 1 year from the date of injury to file a medical malpractice claim in Tennessee. If you believe you have been injured by a physician, nurse, hospital or other health care provider, please contact me at once at (901) 527-2125, via EMAIL or via the form below.

What are the indications that medical malpractice has occurred?

Most potential cases of medical malpractice are easily recognizable by patients and their families. If you notice a dramatically different or unexpected result from treatment or surgery (such as serious brain injury, paralysis, loss of organ function, or death), you should consider asking an attorney to review your case for you. Pay particular attention to comments made by doctors, nurses or administrators following the procedure. Sometimes a nurse or doctor will later comment on the methods or work of your care provider. These statements are also strong indicators of medical malpractice and should urge you to schedule a consultation with a competent lawyer.

How can I determine if medical malpractice has been committed?

The complexity of the medical and legal questions makes it extremely difficult for patients or relatives of an injured patient to determine on their own whether or not suspected medical malpractice has in fact, and in the eyes of the law, occurred.  If you suspect medical malpractice has occurred, you are welcome to contact me. Call Ed Wallis or Tim Edwards today at (901) 527-2125. I will want to schedule a time to talk to you with other attorneys in my office. When you come to the meeting, you will need to bring your medical records with you, so you should first go to the doctor’s office, hospital or other facility and ask for a copy of your treatment records.

The Personal Difference

When you contact us, you will personally receive a telephone call back from either Tim or Ed, not an assistant. If you send usan email, you will receive a return email from Tim or Ed, or another lawyer in our firm, not a paralegal or assistant or third party. You will receive our email addresses, our cell phone numbers, and a number that rings directly to our desks (not a receptionist you screens telephone calls). We want our clients to have access to us at anytime they need us.
