Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice happens when a health care provider such as a doctor does something that competent doctors would not have done, or fails to do what a competent doctor would have done, resulting in injury or death.

Medical malpractice claims are complex and time consuming and expensive. Because of the significant expense involved in pursuing medical malpractice cases, along with the high degree of complexity, only claims of very serious injuries are typically pursued by our firm.

Davis Levin Livingston has achieved significant results in handling medical practice cases. Some of our recent successes include the following:

• A $11.3 million settlement on behalf of a brain-damage infant who failed to receive appropriate care at a military hospital.

• A $15 million judgment on behalf of a Navy family whose wife became brain damaged as a result of inappropriate care during an operation.
