Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Has a healthcare provider given you the wrong medicine? Made the wrong diagnosis? Delayed proper treatment so long that you have permanent problems? Injured you or someone in your family? If any healthcare provider has failed to meet the "standard of care" when treating you, you may have a medical malpractice case and may be entitled to compensation.

The Wisconsin laws governing malpractice actions change frequently, and exceptions often require a complex analysis of statutes and case law, and even then can be unclear. We encourage anyone injured by malpractice to contact an attorney promptly so your rights can be protected.

Under Wisconsin law, when you have been injured by malpractice, you may be entitled to recover:

Past and future income lost

Past and future medical and other treatment expenses

The cost of required medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, Advil® and Tylenol®

The cost of help in your home, including nursing care and help with household chores

Mileage to and from treatment appointments

Compensation for your pain, suffering, disability, and/or disfigurement

If your parent or spouse was injured by malpractice, compensation for the loss of the patient's society and companionship.

In addition, you may be entitled to make a complaint to the provider's licensing board. Addresses and links to the most commonly needed licensing boards are:
