My name is Terry Crouppen, I, along with my partner Ron Brown, founded Brown and Crouppen almost 20 years ago. There was never any doubt from the beginning, that medical malpractice would be an area of the law we wanted to concentrate in. Many lawyers believe medical malpractice cases are the most intellectually challenging in all of tort law. We believe that a great law firm must work on the most difficult cases; medical malpractice provides these difficult cases every day.

Medical malpractice is a problem that has reached almost epidemic proportions in the United States. A recent study funded by the federal government has determined that up to 100,000 Americans die every year as a result of medical malpractice. This means that malpractice may kill more people each year than motor vehicle accidents, aids or breast cancer. Similar studies suggest that only one in ten acts of malpractice are ever discovered by the victims. The sum total of all these facts is that medical malpractice is real, it injures and kills and frequently is deliberately concealed.

A successful malpractice case has two essential elements. First, an act of malpractice (negligence) by a medical professional or organization usually a doctor, nurse, hospital or HMO. The second element is an injury that is the direct result of the above act of malpractice. It’s important to understand that a case must have both to succeed. Malpractice without injury means you don’t have a medical malpractice case but more important you are a very lucky person who encountered a “bad” doctor and lived to tell about it.

At Brown and Crouppen we want to answer your malpractice questions. We know that modern medicine can be very difficult to understand. Many successful cases begin with just a suspicion following a bad outcome from medical treatment. Just a “hunch” that something wasn’t right. Over the years, I’ve learned to listen carefully to these “hunches” they’re often right on the money.

The following are a list of questions you might consider in determining if you want to talk to us further about medical malpractice.

1. Have I, a member of my family or a friend suffered a severe injury or death while under the care of a doctor or hospital?
2. Was there a delay in getting proper medical treatment because of a failure to timely diagnose: a heart attack or stroke; breast, colon, cervical or any other forms of cancer?
3. After talking to another doctor, nurse or other health care professional do you suspect that certain medical treatment was inappropriate or that the outcome of the treatment was in any way unusual?
4. When you ask the doctor, nurse or hospital questions regarding the medical situation do you feel they are hiding something?
5. Has your medical insurance company questioned the appropriateness of any procedures, tests or diagnoses?
6. Do you have any questions about any of the prescription drugs, other medicines, or any other medical devices or products used as part of the medical treatment?

Donald and I were never the kind of people to run to lawyers when we had a problem. That’s why I waited before I contacted Brown and Crouppen about a possible medical malpractice case. None of the doctors ever came forward and discussed why the tests were misread, as a matter of fact no one would even admit it had happened. I learned that when doctors and hospitals mess up they cover up, at least that’s what happened when I tried to get answers to my questions.    CONTINUE

Unfortunately, this is true. There are definite time limits in taking care of your case. These time limits are called statutes of limitations and if you wait past this time set out in the statute your case is over, forever, regardless if you have gotten any money or not. Don’t let this happen to you, if you have a medical malpractice case don’t wait until it’s too late, call Brown and Crouppen now.  CONTINUE
