I had the pleasure of working with Allison Weaver, and I can't recommend her enough. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, attentive, and always made me feel like a priority.

After engaging another law firm following my car accident, I was deeply disappointed with the treatment I received throughout the entire case and the meager reimbursement. However, my experience with Bart Bernard Injury Lawyers was the complete opposite. Every staff member treated me with respect, starting with Bart himself, and this level of respect continued until I received my check, which exceeded my expectations by a significant margin. Your staff is simply the best. I will enthusiastically recommend your company to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney for a car accident.

Scott Webre, Whitney Ikerd, and the staff of Webre and Associates went above and beyond for my wife and me. They stuck with our case for over 10 years, were patient with our questions and anxieties over what seemed like an unfair situation, and communicated with us so we understood the process and did not feel so helpless. They were also good about returning phone calls and keeping us up to date on any new developments in our case. I really can not thank them enough. At a time when even some family and friends weren't there for us, Scott, Whitney, and their team were. Thanks to them we can get the help we need for my wife and make both of our lives brighter.
I would recommend them to everyone.

My family and I had an unfortunate situation. The minute I hired Mr. Webre I knew I had made the right decision. I could breathe again. I had complete faith in this attorney. He and his staff were helpful and reassuring and I was very distraught from our case issues. I am sure having to deal with some of my anxiety was not easy for Mr. Webre and his staff. They were always friendly and professional. At the end near the settlement I was uneasy and ready to just take a lower settlement but just seeing Mr Webre's unwaivering status to keep fighting and waiting I also waited. The end result was more than expected and I cannot say enough about the compassion of this attorney and overall great man. "Thank you" is still not enough, however, I know this attorney receives ten fold of the goodness he provides.

I was hit from behind by a company truck with a trailer. I needed surgery and physical therapy. Got connected with Mr. John Roy and Mr Andrew Quakenbos. My experience with them changed my life. They took very good care of all my needs, including the ability to continue caring for my daughter. Their professionalism and guidance has been such a great experience and they have changed my life for the better. I received a wonderful and fair settlement and I’m so thankful for all of the hard work and dedication they provided for my family and I. I can not thank them enough for this new start of our lives. I know I won’t be in this position and able to move forward with life if it wasn’t for their concern for my well being and quality of life. Truly amazing attorneys and even better people, I thank them for everything and every minute of their time and efforts. Will definitely recommend them to anyone who asks!

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.
What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?
A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?

- Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?

Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?
Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
- Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
- Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
- List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
- Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
- Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
