Harmed by a Healthcare Provider’s Mistake? We’ll Help You Seek Justice
When you put your health in the hands of a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional, you trust them to provide the skilled and careful care you need. But when that trust is broken due to negligence, the results can be life-changing.
At Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC, we represent patients who have been seriously harmed by medical malpractice. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial impact that can come from a healthcare provider’s mistake—and we’re here to help you hold them accountable.
If you believe a medical professional’s carelessness caused your injury, don’t wait. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the sooner we can begin building a strong case for the compensation you deserve.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical professionals—like doctors, surgeons, dentists, and nurses—are held to a higher standard of care because their actions can directly affect a person’s life and well-being. When they fail to meet that standard and cause harm, it’s known as medical malpractice.
You may have a valid malpractice claim if:
-
A licensed healthcare provider failed to act with reasonable care, and
-
You suffered injury or harm as a result.
These cases are complex, but our team is experienced in investigating medical negligence, reviewing records, consulting with medical experts, and fighting for full compensation on your behalf.
