Medical-focused legal advocacy you can trust.

Not every bad medical outcome is medical malpractice. To have a valid medical malpractice case in Alabama, you must show that a healthcare provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care and that failure caused serious injury or harm.

If you believe a doctor, hospital, or medical provider made a preventable error, an experienced medical malpractice attorney can review your records and determine whether the law supports a claim. We offer confidential case evaluations to help you understand your options.

Southern Med Law represents clients in complex medical malpractice cases, including:

• Birth injuries

• Surgical errors

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

• Medication errors

• Anesthesia negligence

• Hospital and nursing negligence

• Catastrophic injury and wrongful death

We focus on serious cases involving significant harm and long-term consequences.

Alabama law generally requires that a medical malpractice lawsuit be filed within two years of the act or omission that caused the injury. In some cases, the timeline may differ depending on when the injury was discovered or whether a minor is involved.

Because strict deadlines apply, it is important to speak with a medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Most medical malpractice attorneys, including our firm, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf.

During your initial consultation, we will explain how fees and case expenses are handled so you can make an informed decision before moving forward.

Medical malpractice cases are complex and require careful investigation. After an initial review of your records, the process typically includes:

• Consulting qualified medical experts

• Filing a formal complaint in court

• Written discovery and depositions

• Settlement negotiations

• Trial, if necessary

These cases often take time, but our role is to guide you through each stage and advocate for accountability when the standard of care has been violated.
