Medical Malpractice

Accomplished Virginia Medical Malpractice Lawyers

The trial lawyers at WAW in Virginia have the experience to properly help people who are injured due to medical malpractice. As Harrisonburg, Staunton and Lexington medical malpractice attorneys, we aggressively pursue compensation for clients with injuries caused by the negligence of doctors, nurses and other medical staff.

Proving a medical malpractice claim

Medical practitioners are required to give care that falls within accepted standards of practice. An act or omission that falls outside this standard is considered professional negligence, and may be grounds for a malpractice lawsuit. However, not every instance of medical negligence meets the criteria for medical malpractice. Our Virginia medical malpractice attorneys must show that:

• The health care provider failed to meet the standard of care
• The medical failure resulted in your injury
• Your injury caused you to suffer losses

Hospital lawyers are skilled at breaking this chain of events in order to deny insurance claims and defeat medical malpractice lawsuits. We know this because our firm also has experience defending medical providers. We understand the trial tactics that the other side employs and we know how to anticipate their strategies to provide excellent representation for our injured clients.

Medical experts support our trial work

The use of medical experts is the key to our success in medical malpractice litigation. To overcome a hospital lawyer's vigorous defense, a team of medical experts is required. Not every law firm has the resources necessary to handle a medical malpractice case. But WAW is one of the largest law firms in the Shenandoah Valley and we work with a broad network of medical experts who have extensive experience supporting malpractice cases at trial. We also have a legal nurse consultant on staff.

When you hire our firm, you can be confident that your medical injury lawsuit is fully supported by a professional team with the skills to persuade a jury that damages are due.
