When Medical Professionals Violate Trust
We trust doctors, nurses, and hospitals with our lives. But when that trust is broken due to negligence, the consequences can be devastating. Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and delayed treatment are not just unfortunate outcomes—they may be grounds for a medical malpractice claim. At Moore Payne, we fight for individuals and families who’ve been harmed by substandard medical care.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury, illness, or death. These cases often involve:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – When a doctor fails to identify a serious condition like cancer, stroke, or infection in time for effective treatment
- Surgical Errors – Including wrong-site surgery, anesthesia mistakes, or leaving instruments inside a patient
- Medication Errors – Incorrect dosages, prescribing the wrong drug, or dangerous interactions
- Birth Injuries – Harm to mother or baby due to negligent prenatal care or delivery practices
- Hospital Negligence – Unsanitary conditions, inadequate staffing, or failure to monitor patients properly
These errors can cause long-term disability, emotional trauma, or loss of life—and families deserve justice.
Recognizing Signs of Medical Malpractice
Patients and their families may not always know when malpractice has occurred. Common red flags include:
- A sudden, unexplained decline in health following treatment
- A condition that worsens after being cleared by a doctor
- A second opinion that contradicts the initial diagnosis or treatment
- Lack of informed consent before a risky procedure
- Medical staff failing to document or disclose adverse events
If something feels wrong, trust your instincts—and seek legal guidance immediately.
Who Can Be Held Accountable?
Medical malpractice claims can be brought against a wide range of healthcare providers and institutions, including:
- Physicians and surgeons
- Nurses and anesthesiologists
- Hospitals and urgent care centers
- Pharmacies and pharmacists
- Dentists and specialists
- Physical therapists or rehabilitation providers
At Moore Payne, we investigate each case thoroughly to determine every party responsible for the harm done.

What Damages Can You Recover?
Medical malpractice cases often involve significant and long-term losses. Victims may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses and future treatment
- Lost income or earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Disability or loss of quality of life
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages, including funeral costs and loss of companionship
We work with medical experts, economists, and life-care planners to ensure no detail is overlooked when calculating your damages.
Why Medical Malpractice Cases Are Complex
These cases involve intricate legal and medical issues, making them among the most challenging in personal injury law. Key challenges include:
- Proving that the provider breached the standard of care
- Linking that breach directly to the injury or death
- Facing powerful hospital defense teams and insurance companies
- Meeting strict filing deadlines and procedural requirements
Moore Payne is experienced in navigating these complexities with diligence, precision, and aggressive advocacy.
