Medical Malpractice

You trusted a medical professional to help, but instead, you were left with more pain, confusion, or permanent harm. Medical malpractice isn’t just a mistake; it’s a violation of trust with serious consequences. At Ryan Pinkney Law, we stand up to hospitals, insurers, and healthcare providers to demand answers, justice, and recovery.

When Doctors Fail You, I Fight for You.

Doctors and other medical professionals have a duty to provide their patients with a high standard of care. Unfortunately, they do not always fulfill their obligations. When medical professionals fail in their duty of care, the consequences can be devastating. The aftermath of suffering injuries from medical malpractice can be overwhelming, and you may not know where to start in seeking the justice and compensation you deserve. Ryan can help you determine if you have a medical malpractice case and guide you through the complex legal process with clear and honest communication.

Common Medical Malpractice

When care falls below the standard you deserve, the effects can be life changing. At Ryan Pinkney Law, I handle a range of complex malpractice cases and connect clients with independent medical experts to support their claims.

Misdiagnosis

When a serious condition is missed or caught too late, it can cost a patient their life or reduce recovery chances. We’ll prove where the system failed and fight for the compensation you need to recover physically and financially.

Medication Errors

Being prescribed the wrong drug or dosage or receiving another patient’s medication can result in dangerous, even fatal, side effects. Ryan ensures the error is documented and those responsible are held accountable.

Surgical Mistakes

Wrong site surgery, retained tools, or preventable infections should never happen. We uncover what went wrong and work with surgeons and healthcare experts to hold hospitals responsible for these devastating errors.

the legal solutions

Not every personal injury case requires a lawyer.  However, if you attempt to negotiate directly with an insurance company, you may lack the negotiation leverage required to force a reasonable settlement.  Having Ryan in your corner means there will be "teeth" behind your demand for compensation.  Personal injury claims can be incredibly complex.  Ryan can help you navigate the process and secure the compensation you deserve.
‍
There is no such thing as a fixed price associated with a given injury.  Each case is unique and the value of your claim depends on a number of factors, such as the nature of your injuries, the amount of available insurance, and the percentage of fault.  Other factors can include:

Severity of injuries

The severity of your injuries is one of the most critical aspects in determining the value of your claim.  The more severe the injuries, the greater the potential compensation you may receive.  Minor injuries, like sprains or bruises, may result in lower compensation than more severe injuries, like broken bones, spinal damage, or traumatic brain injuries.

Medical Treatment and Expenses

Insurance companies consider the cost of your medical treatment, including doctor visits, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.  Every medical expense related to the injury is added to your claim.  Make sure to keep track of all bills and medical records, as they will help substantiate the cost of your recovery.

Lost Income and Earning Capacity

Injuries that affect your ability to work or perform daily activities can increase the value of your claim.  If your injuries have led to a loss of income or future earning potential, this will be factored in.

Duration of Recovery

How long it takes to recover from your injuries can also affect the value of your claim.  The longer your recovery period, the more compensation you may be eligible for due to extended medical care and potentially lost wages.  Injuries that result in long-term or permanent disability will increase the overall value of your claim.

Emotional Distress and Pain and Suffering

Beyond the physical injuries, emotional distress is another factor in personal injury claims.  Experiencing trauma, anxiety, or depression as a result of the accident may qualify you for additional compensation.  Pain and suffering damages are subjective and can vary, but they play an important role in determining the total value of your claim.

Loss of Consortium

When an injury impacts your relationship with your spouse or partner, damages may be awarded for loss of companionship and support.

Punitive Damages

In rare cases where the opposing party's actions or inactions were particularly egregious or reckless, punitive damages may be awarded, intending to punish the opposing party and deter similar future conduct.

Thank You Ryan!"
