If you have been injured by medical care, you need help. We are dedicated to helping people with medical negligence cases. Unfortunately, many doctors and hospitals will not let you have a copy of your own medical records. We are able to get your medical records. Then we review the records. We can translate the records from technical medical terms to easily understood words. If it appears that a medical review would be appropriate, we can obtain that for you. In fact, if we are to go forward with a medical negligence case for you, we are required to obtain an opinion from an appropriately qualified health care provider concluding negligence.

We can organize the review. Through an "Of Counsel" relationship with Faison & Gillespie, we have a staff of medical professionals to help advance your case. They are available to review your medical records, to help evaluate your case and to help find outside experts to review your case. We have a doctor and a pharmacist along with two nurse consultants.
