- Medical records and bills
- Medical expert testimony
- Injury photos, if applicable
- Proof of lost income
We will handle evidence collection for you. Our investigators will do all the work of building your case file rather than taxing you or your family with this potentially overwhelming task.

Our Vandalia Personal Injury Lawyers Represent Medical Malpractice Victims
Medical malpractice can take many forms, so our legal team will identify the required elements of medical negligence to support your right to financial recovery. These elements include:
- Duty of care: The healthcare provider owed you an acceptable standard of care.
- Breach of duty: The care they provided failed to meet their legal obligation.
- Causation: Their substandard care harmed you.
- Damages: Your injuries had negative financial consequences.
Medical malpractice claims we accept include:
- Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis
- Delayed medical treatment or failure to treat
- Medication errors
- Birth injuries
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
Along with identifying medical negligence, we will also identify the at-fault party or parties. You may be able to sue a negligent physician, nurse, dentist, technician, pharmacist, or another medical provider. You could also have a valid claim against a treatment facility (hospital or clinic), lab, or medical equipment manufacturer.
