Medical Malpractice
Have you been injured due to medical negligence or medical malpractice? TCB Law has represented individuals and their families in medical malpractice cases against physicians and hospitals that have misdiagnosed illnesses.
We have won a case against a physician who kicked a ureter during a routine laproscopic procedure; a man who went to the ER for knee pain and was overdosed with morphine, dying 24 hours later; a mother who took her daughter for a physical exam and the lab misreading a test and determining that the child had been sexually molested when she in fact had not been; we won against the lab that mixed up the results and hid the findings; a man who had a cut on his foot and went to a podiatrist who failed to notice an infection in the foot, resulting in an amputation of the leg from the knee down. These are just a few of the examples of medical malpractice cases handled by TCB Law.
