Medical Malpractice Lawsuits ◊ Greenville, South Carolina, Lawyer
Doctors undertake many years of study and training in order to earn society's trust and practice their trade. When we as patients put our lives in their hands, we trust that they will live up to those high expectations. Sometimes, that trust is misplaced. However, the law recognizes that doctors are human — they are allowed to make mistakes. It's only when those mistakes cause serious damage, and when they fall far from the bounds of acceptable professional behavior, that you can (or should) file for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

An Expert-Intensive Approach to Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice lawsuits involve a highly technical subject matter. You can't show that a doctor performed improperly unless you understand the proper way for doctors to perform. I may bring a number of experts to testify and help clarify the mistake. In addition, I have a strong background in science and technology. My undergraduate degree was in Biochemistry, and I served as general counsel and then CEO of a tech startup company. I can understand the issues that will decide your case.
