Charleston Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Each day, millions of Americans place their trust — and their lives — in the hands of healthcare professionals and facilities. But these professionals are not above error. In fact, mistakes are common among medical professionals and entities such as:

  • Doctors
  • Nurses
  • Chiropractors
  • Physician assistants
  • Dentists
  • Psychologists
  • Psychiatrists
  • Podiatrists
  • Anesthesiologists
  • Physical therapists
  • Occupational therapists
  • Hospitals
  • Government agencies that operate hospitals or provide medical care

In West Virginia, medical malpractice claims must be filed within two years of the date the injury occurred or should have been detected under a reasonable standard of care. West Virginia allows minors to file a medical malpractice lawsuit up to two years from the date of the injury or until age 12 — whichever is longer.

Medical malpractice in West Virginia

Medical errors can have tragic consequences. At Michael Martin & Associates, our West Virginia personal injury lawyers represent victims in a range of medical malpractice suits, including:

  • Misdiagnosis
  • Permanent injury as a result of a spinal cord stimulator
  • Incorrect anesthesia
  • Incorrect medication dosage (overdose)
  • Improper treatment
  • Delayed diagnosis that resulted in permanent injury
  • Surgical errors
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Labor and delivery injuries
  • Inadequate sanitation
  • Performing a procedure without the patient's informed consent

Medical professionals are required to provide a certain standard of care. We firmly believe that those who do not should be held liable. We go toe-to-toe with their insurance companies' lawyers and do not back down unless it is a strategic move made in your best interest. Our goal is to obtain the best possible verdict or settlement for you in an efficient manner. We use our extensive knowledge and experience in the courtroom and at the negotiating table to achieve those results.
