Medical Malpractice

When you seek medical care, you trust doctors and hospitals to prioritize your health and safety. When that trust is broken due to negligence or a failure to meet the standard of care, the results can be catastrophic. At Korte Law Firm, we provide the sophisticated legal representation needed to navigate complex medical malpractice claims and secure the justice you deserve.

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Cases where a failure to identify a condition, such as cancer or heart disease, led to preventable harm.

• Birth Injuries: Representing families affected by medical negligence during labor and delivery.

• Medication Errors: Holding providers accountable for prescribing the wrong dosage or the wrong medication.
