Baton Rouge Medical Malpractice Lawyer
You went in for medical treatment or a procedure and something went wrong.
You ended up with complications, new health conditions, injuries, the need for further procedures, or even long-term impairments.
We all know there’s some risk that comes with any significant medical intervention. But what if this really doesn’t feel right? What if this really should not have happened?
You may have a claim for compensation for medical malpractice.
When does a health care breakdown cross the line from common hazard into malpractice?
- When the doctor or other health care provider failed to follow their profession’s “standard of care.”
- When their actions led directly to your injury or illness.
- When witnesses or other evidence suggests they acted with negligence.
If you think this has happened to you in Baton Rouge, talk to the medical malpractice attorneys at The Bowling Law Firm, who can help you pursue payment to put your life back together.
From our office in New Orleans, we have Baton Rouge medical malpractice lawyers with experience spanning more than 40 years helping people all over Louisiana.
What Compensation Can You Seek for Medical Malpractice in Baton Rouge?
In medical malpractice cases in Louisiana, you can pursue payment for two major kinds of losses:
- Economic Damages: These are costs you can put a number on, such as medical bills, lost income because you missed work, reduced ability to work and earn an income in the future, and any other expense imposed on you because of the medical treatment failure.
- Non-Economic Damages: These are costs that take a toll on your life but don’t come with a simple price tag, such as the pain, suffering and distress you endured and diminished ability to enjoy life.
The amount you could claim in a medical malpractice case varies widely, with important variables such as severity of your injury, types of damages you claim and type of medical provider you went to for care.
Your Baton Rouge medical malpractice attorney can help you maximize the compensation you are entitled to receive. And when you work with the medical malpractice lawyers from The Bowling Law Firm, you’ll always be able to work directly with your lawyer and not just the firm’s support staff.
