Medical Malpractice

Knoxville, Tennessee, Medical Malpractice Attorneys

In today’s healthcare industry, HMO’s and insurance companies often control how doctors practice medicine, how many patients they see, and how much time they spend with each patient. This practice endangers patients and has increased the number of medical malpractice claims.

For over 30 years, Attorney Doug Nichol has dedicated himself to assuring that individuals injured due to a physician's medical malpractice receive the compensation they need to recover physically, emotionally, and economically following their injury.

Victims of medical malpractice deserve the compensation necessary to help them recover from the injury they suffered. Unfortunately, doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies rarely admit mistakes.

Failure to Diagnose
Improper Diagnosis
Improper Treatment of a Diagnosed Illness
Failure to Monitor a Patient
Improper Administration of Drugs, or Using the Wrong Drugs
Improper Use of a Medical Device
Injury to a Child or Mother During Birth
Unnecessary Surgical Procedure
