THE SPENCER LAW FIRM
Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
When someone’s failure to do their duty to you or your loved one causes you harm it is called negligence. Negligence occurs in a variety of situations – in a car crash or accident at work, by using a defective product, and through medical malpractice.
A variety of injuries can result from negligence – as well as medical expenses. Claimants may be awarded pain and suffering and lost wages, among other possible damages.​Your rights do not end when your loved one dies – you can take up their claims and seek justice in their stead.
Claims for “survival” – the same claims that the deceased had – exist and pass to the deceased’s heirs or estate. What’s more, the heirs also have claims for wrongful death, to recover all they lost because of the deceased’s absence from their lives. Funeral expenses, final medical costs, loss of income, and loss of companionship – all of these can be recovered in a wrongful death action.
If you or a loved one has been injured, or a loved one has died, and you believe someone else may be at fault, we may be able to help you seek justice and can answer your questions about your legal options.
Medical Malpractice
Patients put their lives in the hands of medical professionals every day – and while most repay that trust with superior service, some fail to live up to the standards of their profession. Healthcare providers’ errors can cost patients years off their lives and thousands in medical bills.
Injury from medical malpractice takes a variety of forms. The most well-known is when a procedure was performed improperly. Malpractice also occurs when a patient is not given the right treatment for a diagnosed condition – or when a patient receives the wrong treatment, such as a prescription that conflicts with another condition.
But patients can also be harmed by a failure to diagnose a disease – especially an illness like cancer that can be treated if caught early – and which a negligent medical provider may not catch in time.​
The Spencer Law Firm can help you determine if you have a viable medical malpractice claim – and if we cannot take your case, we may be able to find someone who can. We know the qualified experts you need to advance your medical malpractice claims, and can help you obtain the recovery that you were denied.
