About Medical Malpractice
“First, do no harm” is a cardinal rule of medicine, and yet each year, an estimated 100,000 Americans die because of medical mistakes in hospitals. The most well-known publication in the healthcare industry—the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)—has stated that medical negligence is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., ranking just behind heart disease and cancer.
Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider deviates from the recognized “standard of care” when treating a patient. The standard of care is what a reasonably prudent healthcare provider would do (or would not do) under the same or similar circumstances.
Many patients don’t even realize—or want to believe—that they have been victimized by completely avoidable medical errors.

- Drug prescribing and administration errors
The Medical Malpractice Lawyers With Unmatched Results
In the past decade alone SMB medical malpractice lawyers have settled more than $200 million worth of medical mistake cases for our clients.
Because doctors and hospitals seek to avoid negative publicity, they usually agree only to confidential settlements in malpractice cases. The numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements we have secured include:
-
$13,000,000 $13 million recovery due to a birth injury.
-
$10,000,000 $10 million recovery for medical malpractice case resulting in kidney failure.
-
$7,500,000 $7.5 million recovery for patient with delayed cancer diagnosis.
The Medical Malpractice Lawyers with Unmatched Experience
Always working in teams, SMB’s malpractice lawyers rely on highly experienced consulting nurses and independent physician experts to determine precisely what went wrong in our clients’ medical care. Together with our lawyers, these experts:
- Exhaustively review all medical records
- Review hospital policies, procedures, and protocols
- Investigate competencies of doctors and nurses
SMB has pioneered the innovative use of high-tech visual tools—including illustrations, audio and video, animation, and customized 3-D models—to reenact what happened. These powerful techniques are very effective in proving the case.
Hospitals, physicians, nurses, EMTs, pharmacies, and other healthcare providers may all be liable in any given malpractice claim. SMB’s lawyers work tirelessly to help you get all the compensation to which you may be entitled—including payments for pain and suffering, emotional trauma, past and future medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost income, and future earnings.
