Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases are complex and require expertise in both the underlying medicine and legal theories. The first challenge is evaluating whether a claim can be filed. In order to prove that medical malpractice occurred, there needs to be evidence that a medical professional violated the standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. States like Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire have specific statutory requirements for medical malpractice cases that restrict when a claim can be brought, limit the damages that can be collected, and require specialized types of evidence to establish liability.

Our trial attorneys have been overcoming these challenges on behalf of our clients for over thirty years. Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys understand both the legal and medical complexities involved in successfully pursing medical negligence claims.  We know how to properly assess and prove liability, as well as quantify both the tangible and intangible loss to you and your family. Supported by registered nurses, the trial attorneys at Jones Kelleher have the experience and resources necessary to successfully represent victims of medical negligence.

OUR RESOURCES

In states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire successfully proving a medical malpractice case involves complex medical issues and forms of evidence that are often the subject of dispute among medical experts. Through our many years of practice, we have developed a network of accomplished and reputable medical professionals across all areas of medicine. We trust these professionals to not only provide us with the critical information necessary to resolve your case successfully, but present the information in a simple and compelling way to the judge or jury.

Often the best way to persuasively present complex medical evidence is through the use of sophisticated trial presentation technology. Depending upon the nature of the claim, we often utilize the following resources to help our clients prevail:

  • Computer-generated animations;
  • Movies and videos;
  • Models of body parts in three dimensions;
  • Blow-ups of multi-page depictions of overlapping layers of tissues;
  • Full screen images of ultrasound, x-ray, MRI, CAT-scan, PET-scan or other images; and
  • Other state-of-the-art technological presentations.

We understand how to incorporate current trial presentation technology and testimony from medical experts in a way that educates a judge, jury, arbitrator, or mediator about the critical and pivotal medical issues in your case, thus enabling us to maximize your potential recovery.
