Compensation for Medical Malpractice Claims
Our Tennessee malpractice attorneys understand the losses you can face after receiving improper medical care. We’re here to help you secure the funds you need to pay for your:
Economic Damages
Your economic damages can include your medical bills and lost income. In some cases, you could get additional compensation for your reduced earning potential, depending on the severity of the physical harm you sustain due to a medical worker’s mistakes.
Non-Economic Damages
You may also receive compensation for the non-economic effects you face after experiencing malpractice. The at-fault party may need to pay for your emotional distress, mental suffering, and any pain you experience due to their actions.
Punitive Damages
Finally, some of our clients qualify to receive punitive damages. These damages directly punish the party responsible for your injuries and financial losses. The court does not award this form of compensation in every case. We can carefully consider your situation to determine if you qualify for this type of payment.

Medical Malpractice Frequently Asked Questions
A Tennessee medical malpractice attorney from our team can quickly address any uncertainties you have about your legal situation. We’re here to offer answers to questions like:
Do I Qualify to File a Medical Malpractice Claim?
You may qualify to file a medical malpractice claim if our team can show that a healthcare worker failed to uphold a proper standard of care when treating you and directly caused you harm.
For example, you may have a claim if a doctor misdiagnosed a condition, failed to diagnose a condition, or even gave you the wrong medication. We need to review your specific situation to see if you qualify.
How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Claim?
Tennessee will typically give you one year to take legal action after you experience medical malpractice. However, this deadline can shift. If you wait too long, you’ll lose your chance of securing compensation, so it’s important that you discuss approaching deadlines with our team right now.
How Much Money Will I Get for My Claim?
The value of your medical malpractice claim will depend on several factors, including the extent of your losses and the severity of your injuries. We’ll work with you to fully understand the effects of malpractice on your life so we can determine a fair value for your claim.
Do I Need a Malpractice Lawyer to Handle My Claim?
The medical professional responsible for your injuries and financial losses will have a powerful legal team on their side. Healthcare professionals push back hard on these claims and often try to force those they injure to take subpar deals or even ignore these claims altogether.
Our medical malpractice lawyers level the playing field and work to ensure you get treated fairly throughout every stage of the legal process.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Medical Malpractice Attorney?
We work on a contingency basis, so it costs you nothing up front to hire our medical malpractice attorneys. Instead, we’ll receive a percentage of your final compensation as payment for our legal services.
The total amount it costs to work with us will depend on the final value of your claim, and you only pay legal fees after we resolve your case.
