Medical Malpractice
When you turn to any licensed healthcare provider for treatment, you have the right to expect safe and competent care. Though instances of mistreatment or negligence are relatively rare, there are still far too many doctors, medical staff members, and other caregivers who make mistakes or act with unintentional or willful negligence. Whether in a medical setting or nursing facility, such lapses are responsible for thousands of preventable deaths and injuries each year in Louisiana. At Hunter and Beck, our medical negligence, medical malpractice and birth injury attorneys are skilled trial lawyers with years of collective experience. We will protect your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Medication Errors
There is an epidemic of medication errors in America today. The American Heart Association has noted that “more people in the US are killed by medication errors each year than by highway accidents, breast cancer and AIDS combined.” Negligence Lawyers at Hunter and Beck have successfully represented many victims of devastating medication errors.
Surgical Mistakes
Patients place a great deal of trust in the competency of surgeons. In some cases, mistakes may require additional visits to the doctor to be corrected, while in more extreme cases, they can lead to injury or death. If you have been impacted by surgical malpractice, our attorneys at Hunter and Beck can provide skilled representation for your medical malpractice case.
Hospital Negligence
Medical negligence and malpractice are increasingly common threats in Louisiana due to the busyness of hospitals. Despite the best efforts of hospitals, some institutions may fall short of the accepted standard. If you have been affected by hospital negligence, the attorneys at Hunter and Beck can provide skilled representation.
