Doctors swear an oath to protect their patients and act in their best interests. When a healthcare professional acts with negligence and violates the standard of care, they should be held accountable. Medical malpractice injuries can result from a healthcare professional acting in damage-causing negligence, omitting information, or making a serious error in diagnosis, treatment, or aftercare. Since malpractice cases are highly complex to navigate and must be acted on soon after the personal injury occurs, it's crucial to have an experienced medical malpractice attorney guide you through the process.

Motorcycles are over-represented in Alabama accident statistics and across the country. Riders were 24 times more likely to be fatally injured than car passengers in 2021.

While Birmingham drivers are legally required to treat motorcycles the same as any other vehicle, too often they behave negligently, putting riders at risk for death. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact an attorney from Wettermark Keith today.
