Hawaii Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Were you injured by a medical practitioner?
Society depends on medical providers to offer us quality care and treatment, and the majority of medical practitioners do just that. When a health care professional doesn't comply with accepted standards of care and their negligence causes illness or injury, they can be held liable for malpractice. A malpractice claim can result in compensation for many different types of injury related expenses, including hospitalization, medical care, pain, suffering, emotional trauma, rehabilitation and home care.
If you were injured or became ill because of a medical practitioner's carelessness, contact a Hawaii personal injury attorney to discuss your case. A knowledgeable injury lawyer can determine if you qualify for compensation and explain how to file a claim.
