TYPES OF CASES
CASE RESULTSMedical Malpractice Confidential Settlements
In most cases, medical malpractice settlements are confidential. The road to settlement can bring with it an intimidating mix of medicine and law. It can be overwhelming. While formal litigation and taking cases to trial can resolve medical malpractice disputes, settlement through mediation reduces the emotional and financial risks to our clients. Settlement through mediation can bring some closure that our clients need in a way that is not only just and fair, but comfortable for the client.
Mediation and settlement may be appropriate in many cases. Even so, the attorneys at Watson & Carroll, P.C., L.L.O. are not afraid to go to trial to seek justice from a jury. We will take the time to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case to determine what strategies will bring the best outcome possible for your case. Over the years, our attorneys and staff have built a trusted reputation among our peers throughout the community. We are here to protect you and your loved ones.
Everyone on the Watson & Carroll legal team recognizes that each case has unique and specific needs. Our firm gives every person who walks through our door the chance to tell their story. While we cannot turn back time and reverse the tragedy you or your loved one experienced, we will fight for you to bring what happened to light and to help you obtain financial justice for your injury. Please call us today to share your story. We do not charge anything to investigate your case. We are here to help.
