Doctors, nurses and medical staff typically do an excellent job of caring for the sick, saving lives and providing the right medical care. However, they are still human. This means mistakes can be made because of an error or a lapse in judgment when caring for patients. Often, medical errors are the result of failing to take adequate time in examining the patient, and failing to appropriately listen to the history given by the patient or the patient's family.
Based in Fayetteville, the law firm of Anderson, Johnson, Lawrence & Butler, L.L.P., features experienced attorneys who have represented patients injured by medical errors, as well as doctors and health care practices against whom malpractice claims have been made.
