If you have been injured or your loved one, family member or friend has been injured or killed in a Medical Malpractice Accident, immediately contact the Law Offices of Huffman & Huffman at (757) 422-4357.

Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are expected to follow a high standard of care in the performance of their medical responsibilities. When their treatment of patients falls below the expected standard of care and the patient gets injured or dies, medical professionals can be held accountable for their negligence if upon careful review a physician or qualified health professional is prepared to testify that the proper standard of care was violated and this violation caused injury or death.

Medical malpractice cases require an abundance of time and resources in order to prepare a case against a physician or health care professional. When examining a case of malpractice we must determine if we believe a claim exists, this almost always requires that we obtain copies of all of the medical records related to the care and treatment in question. These records must be reviewed by an independent physician or qualified medical expert to determine the nature of the malpractice which may have resulted in injury or death. Under current Virginia law before a medical malpractice claim can be filed in the court, a physician or an appropriate health care professional must be prepared to render an opinion that the doctor or nurse who we believe caused the injury or death to the client departed form the appropriate standard of care.

We at Huffman &Huffman are prepared as in all other cases to aggressively pursue any case of medical malpractice against a physician or health care provider whose negligence causes injury or death.

We also are prepared to examine injuries that occur while persons are being cared for in nursing home facilities or any other health care facility proving care to persons under a disability or long-term medical management.
