Southern Illinois and Missouri Medical Malpractice and Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers
Many people who are injured as the result of negligent medical care are reluctant to see a lawyer. It is difficult for anyone to accuse a doctor or a hospital of malpractice. The reason most of our clients come to us is that they want answers. Something went terribly wrong during a medical procedure and the doctor, hospital or nursing home won't tell them why.
At the law firm of Weilmuenster & Wigginton in Belleville, Illinois, our lawyers have developed particular expertise in getting answers and compensation for victims of medical negligence in:
- Birth injuries
- Misdiagnosis of cancer, heart attack or other conditions
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Hospital infections
- Drug errors
- Emergency room errors
- Nursing home abuse
When something goes wrong during a surgery or other medical procedure, doctors and hospitals often avoid the victim and his or her family. It usually takes a medical malpractice attorney to get answers. Our law firm conducts thorough investigations and consults the foremost experts in the relevant medical field.
Compensation is important for many families, but so is prevention. Our clients want to make sure that the same mistake does not happen to anyone else. In the past, one of the leading areas of personal injury in emergency rooms was the failure to diagnose a heart attack by misdiagnosing that complication as indigestion. As a result of medical malpractice lawsuits, emergency rooms have changed the protocol for treating patients who now complain of chest pains.
Personal Attention. Exceptional Results.
Our firm typically invests substantial money and resources in every medical malpractice case we handle. We won't invest our time and money in a case we think is frivolous. Our lawyers only take cases involving significant injuries or wrongful death. Our lawyers represent all medical malpractice victims on a contingency fee basis.
Due to our success and reputation, we are often personally retained by hospitals and doctors to oversee the insurance companies' lawyers' defense of medical malpractice lawsuits.
