Southern Illinois and Missouri Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Many people injured as a result of the negligent acts of a health care provider are reluctant to see a lawyer. Accusing a doctor or a hospital of malpractice can be difficult and traumatic. Most of our clients come to us because they want answers and they want justice. They may know that something went terribly wrong during a medical procedure or hospital stay, but they cannot get the doctor, hospital or nursing home to tell them what happened.
Our founding attorneys have more than 20 years of experience handling complex and emotionally sensitive cases. We offer free initial consultations to understand the specific details surrounding the case, so that we can best meet our clients' needs. Contact us today to schedule yours.
Protecting Victims of Medical Malpractice
At Weilmuenster & Wigginton in Belleville, Illinois, we work hard to get answers for victims of medical malpractice. The lawyers at our firm prove fault through carefully investigating allegations of medical negligence resulting in:
- Birth injuries
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Hospital infections
- Prescription errors
- Nursing home abuse
- Emergency room errors, including misdiagnosis of stroke or heart attack
- Failure to diagnose cancer or other conditions
When something goes wrong during a surgery or another medical procedure, doctors and hospitals often avoid the victim and his or her family, or hide behind their legal representation. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help you get answers, though. We conduct thorough investigations and consult medical experts to develop a persuasive legal argument on your behalf.
Compensation is important for many families, but so is prevention. Our clients want to make sure the same mistakes do not happen to anyone else. In the past, one of the leading emergency rooms errors was failing to diagnose a heart attack. As a result of medical malpractice lawsuits, emergency rooms have changed protocols for treating patients complaining of chest pains.
Personal Attention. Exceptional Results.
We invest substantial money and resources in every medical malpractice case we handle, and we will not spend the time and money necessary to bring a case we feel is frivolous. Furthermore, we only take cases involving significant injuries or wrongful death.
Due to our success and reputation for aggressive representation, hospitals and doctors often retain us to oversee their insurance companies' lawyers in medical malpractice defense cases.
