Bridging the Breach in the Standard of Care

Every year thousands of people are killed, injured, or disfigured by medical malpractice. And while medicine is not an exact science, a patient is entitled to expect that he will be treated with a high degree of skill and care by physicians, therapists, and nurses operating within recognized standards of practice. In a medical negligence case, to establish liability, you must prove that the professional breached the standard of care that others in the profession would employ in the same or similar circumstances. This often requires the use of expert witnesses to testify what the appropriate standard was and how the doctor, therapist, nurse, etc, failed to apply the standard. To bridge this gap, we use expert witnesses from all over the country for this purpose. If we can prove for you that there is liability, you are entitled to damages as awarded by a judge or jury.

The Ball, Kirk, & Holm Law Firm works on a contingency fee as a portion of the damages it recovers on behalf of a plaintiff. No recovery, we receive no fee!
