Knoxville Medical Negligence Attorneys
Medical malpractice is not about physicians having all the answers. Not every illness can be cured. Not every surgery has the desired outcome. But when doctor mistakes lead to severe injury or death, they should be held accountable.
The Hurley Law Firm, P.C., led by accomplished trial lawyer, D. Scott Hurley, has won jury verdicts and negotiated substantial settlements in medical malpractice and hospital malpractice claims. Our Knoxville-based practice represents clients across East Tennessee. We offer a free case evaluation to determine if you have valid grounds for a lawsuit. We handle select cases involving:
- Failure to diagnose cancer or other grave illness
- Misdiagnosis leading to harmful treatment or unnecessary surgery
- Surgical errors (wrong procedure, nerve damage, non-sterile techniques)
- Nursing medication error (wrong drug, wrong dose, allergic reactions)
- Birth injury or fetal death (delayed C-section, failure to monitor)
Medical Malpractice Litigation
Few medical malpractice claims settle out of court. D. Scott Hurley has over 20 years of trial experience in the most complex litigation. His thorough documentation of claims and courtroom skills are helpful to clients in court. But the legal threshold to prove medical negligence is very high. Another physician must certify the claim to even bring a lawsuit, and going to trial can cost $100,000 or more.
For this reason, we can only take the most serious cases, such as delayed diagnosis leading to a wrongful death, a catastrophic surgery mistake, permanent injury from an adverse reaction to medicine or brain damage to a newborn.
Let us determine if you have a good case for medical malpractice. Mr. Hurley is not intimidated by medical experts or insurance company defense lawyers. Call our Knoxville office at 865-523-1414 for a free initial consultation, including evening or weekend appointments. We front all costs and collect no attorney fees unless we secure compensation.
