We like to believe that our doctors are very knowledgeable and always do things correctly. But, the fact of the matter is that doctors and medical professionals make mistakes. Unfortunately, these mistakes sometimes cause significant injuries, lifelong problems, and even death.
Physicians, anesthesiologists, surgeons, nurses, physicians assistants, residents, and even medical devices can be the cause of these mistakes.
As a former paramedic, Attorney Rummel understands the medicine and that these mistakes can have tragic results. Not all bad results, however, are due to a mistake. A lot of times, people just want an answer and someone to talk to them about it because their doctor has stopped talking. When you contact The Rummel Firm, you will speak with a compassionate attorney with a medical background who will review your case.
Some examples of medical malpractice cases include:
Medical negligence can occur in many different places: the emergency room, a doctor's office, a surgery center, the ICU, or anywhere where a doctor is treating you.
