I met Daniel 4/21 after my no fault accident. The insurance company tried to screw me. I called Daniel and he we went over my case for a review. Daniel took matters over for me. Morgan Dan's assistant kept me well informed thoughout the process 👏 Bravo to Daniel and his team in getting a settlement to my satisfaction.

He was very real about possibilities, relatable and easy to talk with. Jenn was also super communicative and kind when she would provide updates with my claims. I would work with both of them again in a heartbeat! Thank you RBB!

Exceptional young man who is highly skilled and effective. No one in our area (Durant) would take our difficult, messy case. Ryan did…and he got us a settlement that made us whole again. He was patient with us during our most difficult of times. He was professional and polite when dealing with our opposition and handled all matters with grace and class. We are now happy to call him much more than our attorney. Thank you, Ryan.

If you find yourself in the regrettable circumstance of needing a family lawyer, you cannot do better than Grant Brown. What impressed me most was his preparedness. Grant takes the time to get to know his clients, as well as the opposing side and the case particulars. On court day, nobody will know more or be better prepared. Secondly, I found his demeanor to be very appropriate. Grant is the guy who is READY for an ugly fight, not the guy who provokes one. He's calm and pleasant without fail right up until it's time not to be.

Ryan Childress (RC Law Group) recently helped me with a civil case where I was sued for negligence. From the beginning he told me how frivolous this case seemed. Throughout the process, we had a few settlement offers, which I was considering just to settle the case. Mr. Childress was honest and advised me properly. I am very happy to disclose my case was dismissed with prejudice due to Mr. Childress' honesty, consistency and dedication to my case. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Childress (RC Law Group) if you are in need of an attorney.

Taylor is an incredible Family Law attorney who made a world of difference in my child custody case. Her expertise and proactive approach ensured every detail was handled with precision, and I always felt like she was one step ahead in preparing for what was needed. Her communication skills were exceptional—she kept me informed at every step, answered all my questions, and explained everything thoroughly in a way that made it easy to understand. Taylor’s proactive mindset and dedication gave me confidence and peace of mind during a challenging time. Beyond her professional abilities, Taylor’s warm and approachable demeanor made her a joy to work with. I also loved her personal touch—her love for pink brought a bit of brightness and comfort to an otherwise difficult process. If you’re searching for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I cannot recommend Taylor enough. She is a true advocate and a remarkable ally in family law matters!

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.
