PRACTICE AREAS

No attorney fees unless successful

Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC offers professional legal representation in the area of medical malpractice to those injured as well as to the families of those whose lives were lost. Thousands of people are injured or die needlessly each year as a result of avoidable mistakes committed by doctors, nurses, hospitals, nursing homes and other medical care professionals. When these medical personnel fail to meet the appropriate standard of medical care in their community, patients’ lives are profoundly affected.  These errors can occur at any stage of medical care, including testing, diagnosis, treatment, or the subsequent care. Experienced and aggressive legal help is usually necessary to answer your questions about whether this event was truly the result of a medical mistake or not. Doctors, hospitals and their insurance companies seldom cooperate voluntarily in this regard, and intervention from an experience attorney is often required to obtain the proper medical records for review.  Valuable records may be lost or altered if investigation is delayed, so it is vital to promptly undertake a skilful review of the events by a qualified medical malpractice lawyer such as those affiliated with Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC. In the event that our investigation discloses that medical malpractice has occurred, no attorney fees will be charged unless a settlement or verdict is reached resulting in a monetary recovery for our client. In other words, no attorney fees will be charged unless we win.
