Protecting Clients While Holding the Negligent Responsible
A negligent doctor or hospital can cause staggering harm to a patient, change the course of people's lives and leave families in turmoil. Whether through wrongful or negligent action, or failing to treat a serious condition through inaction, medical malpractice can have devastating results for those affected.
If you have been the victim of a medical error, we can help. At Howerton, Dorris & Stone, we have worked for more than 100 years to be that voice for the people of Southern Illinois.
Working Toward Real Results
There is understandable criticism of lawyers and attorneys who file frivolous suits, and as strong advocates for the genuinely injured, we share that frustration. The reality, however, is that there are negligent doctors, nurses and healthcare workers, some right here in Southern Illinois who are causing genuine harm.
We work to hold people who commit medical malpractice accountable and to preserve and protect the rights of the individuals they harm. Our office is proud to have established a lasting reputation as an effective and ethical personal injury law firm. We bring decades of experience and an unwavering commitment to client advocacy to every case.
By responsibly pursuing truly negligent doctors and hospitals, we not only secure the rights of our clients - we help to ensure that future patients are not victimized. We are not working to drive dependable and professional doctors out of business - we are working to stop people who, through inaction, negligence or ignorance, cause serious harm.
