Medical negligence
cases are among the most difficult cases that trial lawyers face.
Often times the facts involve difficult questions of medical judgement.
Virtually all cases that are settled are accompanied by a confidentiality
agreement insisted on by the insurance carrier. The cases described

only be described in general terms. At Cox & Burns, we carefully screen medical negligence cases and probably
turn down twenty for every one that we accept. We recognize that
doctors are human and that a bad outcome does not necessarily mean
negligence. There are, however, occasions where profit has been
placed before prudence and good judgment, or where hospital or
nursing home staff have simply failed to meet their obligation
to care for the patient. The cases below illustrate those situations.
