When Malpractice Occurs, We Demand Accountability.

People place their faith and trust in professionals. Malpractice refers to the failure of a doctor, lawyer, or other professional's failure to live up to their standard of care.

Types of malpractice cases handled at the Heenan Law Firm include:

Medical Malpractice. The doctor and medical staff treating you are not the only people responsible for your care. The hospital has the responsibility of ensuring that the physicians, nurses, and any other employees perform their jobs without causing harm. It is the hospital’s duty to hold its staff accountable for their actions and to remove any staff member found to be performing his duties below an acceptable level. Sometimes, errors do happen. The lack of competent care can have devastating effects on the patient. When a mistake occurs, it is the patient and their family who pay the price, sometimes with their lives.

Legal Malpractice. Clients rightly place their trust in attorneys to shepherd them through the complexities of the legal system. When lawyers miss critical deadlines or otherwise fail to live up to their obligations, good claims can disappear.

John Heenan is a proud member of the American Association for Justice, a nationwide organization of attorneys committed to ensuring that any person who is injured by the misconduct or negligence of others can obtain justice in America’s courtrooms, even when taking on the most powerful interests.
