 90%

Falling
Below the Medical Standard of Care
Very
Strict Time Limitations
The
vast majority of physicians, nurses and other
health care professionals are very dedicated men
and women. Unfortunately, injuries and death due
to medical mishaps and malpractice is an all too
frequent occurrence. Often, it happens without
serious injury, but sometimes the result of medical
negligence is serious injury or death.
The
attorneys at CKRR review hundreds of possible
medical malpractice claims, working closely with
nurses, doctors and other professionals to determine
the validity of a claim. We carefully provide
you with answers to your questions on a time-sensitive
basis.

90%
of Claims Never Filed
Most
malpractice is never subjected to review by litigation.
Statistics reveal that as much as 90% of medical
malpractice claims are never filed. However, you
do have the right to have a review of your claim
to determine if there was a breach of the standard
of care that was supposed to have been employed
by medical professionals.
Falling
Below the Medical Standard of Care
There
is a misconception among the public that physicians
and medical health care professionals are subjected
to malpractice claims simply because of a bad
result. This is not true. In order for a doctor,
nurse, or other health care professional to be
liable under the Alabama Medical Liability Act,
that medical health care professional must have
acted in a way that is below the standard of care
anticipated by other professionals in his or her
field. That is, not acting in a way that would
be expected of another professional in a similar
situation or circumstance.
Very
Strict Time Limitations
Claims
for medical malpractice come with very strict
time limitations both to discover claims and also
to file any actions concerning those claims. If
you suspect medical malpractice, do not delay
in having your matter reviewed at the first belief
or inclination that a medical professional's conduct
may have been beneath the anticipated and/or expected
standard of care in handling your or a loved one's
health matter.
