Medical Malpractice

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
- Helen Keller

When we entrust medical professionals, hospitals and clinics with our care, we expect that we can rely upon their professional judgment, extensive training and experience to bring about a healthy outcome.

We don’t expect to sustain serious injuries due to medical negligence. We don’t expect the medical professions to fail to follow standard procedures that might lead to a wrongful death.

If you have suffered an injury or your illness or injury was made worse because of medical malpractice—from misdiagnosis, a failure to diagnose, a surgical mistake, or a childbirth mistake—the experienced medical negligence lawyers at the law firm of Bley & Pfeiffer, P.C. help injured people and grieving families to recover financial damages for their injuries.

This is undoubtedly a difficult time for you and your family. You are suffering from the injuries you’ve received. You may be unsure of the full consequences of the damage and what it will mean for your life, now and into the future.

Our law practice is dedicated to personal injury litigation to help people overcome difficulties and move on with their lives. Our medical negligence lawyers—Wally Bley and Mark Pfeiffer—are board certified Trial Advocates* who have demonstrated superior legal ability in the courtroom, winning favorable jury awards and large settlements for many clients.

We understand how to investigate medical malpractice cases to prove injuries and damage due to prescription drug errors, birth injury, surgery errors, misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose. We understand how to present complex medical facts to a jury so they understand the impact of injuries on your home and work life.

Birth injuries may have lifelong effects on your child. Distress during delivery may be a sign of hypoxia leading to brain damage, cerebral palsy, and learning disabilities. Extraction difficulties can result in shoulder dystocia or erb’s palsy.
