Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Abuse

Medical negligence is avoidable if the doctor follows the standard of care, but not all doctors practice medicine the same. Barnes Law Group has a licensed physician on staff to help evaluate and prosecute cases involving cardiology, surgical negligence, obstetrics or birth injuries, emergency medicine, family practice, neurology and neurosurgery, pediatrics, gynecology, and the failure to diagnose cancer.

Nursing home abuse takes many different forms.  Neglect and inappropriate care of our elderly can result in bedsores, open wounds, cuts, bruises, dehydration, malnutrition, weight loss, burns, falls, bowel impactions, medication errors, poor personal hygiene, verbal or physical abuse, over-sedation, and general disregard for the health and welfare of the residents.

Our attorneys and staff are experienced and have educations and backgrounds in life science disciplines that help victims apply the law to bad medicine.
