MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEYS

ALL BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIC SURGEONS

25+ Years of Experience

The Footlaw.com website is an informational and medical malpractice resource which is provided and sponsored by trial lawyers who practice in different law firms and who are also foot and ankle specialists (podiatrists). The focus of the Footlaw.com website is medical malpractice and personal injury litigation, including those cases which involve the treatment, surgery, or injuries to the foot, ankle, or leg.

The physician-attorneys who are listed on the Footlaw.com website include current and formerly practicing board certified podiatrists. The fact that each podiatrist-attorney has practiced podiatric medicine and surgery for 22 or more years allows each client to have the benefit of that individual’s legal knowledge and experience as well as that physician’s medical and surgical expertise.

A recent study found that 95% of patients who sought legal representation for injuries or damages suffered as a result of negligent medical treatment were denied assistance from attorneys, primarily for economic reasons. As a lawyer may have to invest $50,000 or more of his own money to pursue a case, the study concluded that in general, lawyers would not accept a case, despite the liability being obvious and the chances of success likely, if the expected ultimate verdict or settlement did not exceed several hundred thousand dollars.

The fact is most doctors that we are involved with maintain malpractice coverage of only $250,000.00. That amount is likely the most an insurance company would ever offer or pay an injured victim of negligence, regardless of the trial verdict or damages to the patient for the rest of their lives.

The lawyers at Footlaw.com do NOT support nor endorse that idea. Our lawyers believe every patient or victim of medical negligence is entitled to representation. Further, our attorneys will never receive an amount from a trial verdict or settlement that is larger than the client receives, once costs are reimbursed. We feel that is simply unfair.
