A Unique Combination of Medical Knowledge and Legal Experience
When you contact us, we do not expect you to know for certain that you have a claim. Our representation starts with getting to know you, understanding your situation, and conducting a thorough evaluation to determine whether we believe we can win your case. JFS Law partner Phillip W. Farthing, M.D., J.D. plays a critical role in this process. Prior to becoming a medical malpractice attorney, Dr. Farthing practiced as a board-certified anesthesiologist and general practitioner. He also taught medicine as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Anesthesia at Indiana University Medical Center. His medical background is a unique and valuable asset to JFS Law that allows our team to thoroughly and effectively evaluate clients’ cases, communicate with experts in the field, and challenge the defense’s assertions about the facts of your case.Signs that You May be a Victim of Medical Negligence
People often struggle to even consider that their suffering may be due to a medical error. We place a great amount of trust in hospitals, physicians, and nurses, and it can be difficult to know whether your condition is the result of medical negligence, or simply a byproduct of your original illness or injury.While not foolproof, the following is a list of circumstances that can be indicative of medical negligence:
- Your injury or illness was not diagnosed until after your condition worsened.
- You were not adequately informed about your treatment plan or the risks involved.
- Your doctor failed to order common tests or follow standard procedures.
- Your condition worsened or failed to improve despite medical treatment.
- You have fallen ill or experienced pain or discomfort following a medical procedure.
