Medical Malpractice

There is virtually no one we trust more than our healthcare providers. They care for us in our most vulnerable moments, when our health and lives are on the line. But despite their years of education and training, health care professionals can get it wrong. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide the appropriate standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient.

At Breedon Litigation, we have a team of experienced lawyers who specialize in medical malpractice cases. We understand the complex legal and medical issues involved in these cases and are committed to helping our clients receive the compensation they deserve.

“I became involved with Breedon Litigation due to a medical malpractice case against my doctor …. I worked with both Ryan and Jessica, with Ryan handling the initial dispositions and Jessica handling trial prep and trial. Both were excellent throughout.”
