Medical Malpractice

RI Medical Malpractice Lawyers

"First do no harm" is a primary principle in the medical field. It reminds doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals that sometimes the treatment can be worse than the illness or injury itself.

The majority of medical professionals are caring and responsible, but some do harm their patients needlessly through their own negligence. In fact, preventable medical errors are responsible for up to 195,000 hospital deaths per year, according to a study by HealthGrades, Inc.

We will have a medical professional review your medical records to determine if you have an actionable claim. Particularly in the case of wrongful death, people appreciate having an independent medical review to determine whether or not malpractice was the cause of the fatal injury.
