When you are injured or ill, you trust that your medical team will take the appropriate steps to properly diagnose and treat your condition efficiently. When that trust is betrayed, you may be able to pursue legal action against a careless physician, nurse or hospital for professional negligence or medical malpractice.
At the law office of Timothy H. Leigh-Bell, we help accident victims and their families seek recovery in personal injury or disability claims, including injuries or disability caused by medical malpractice. We will work with you to identify all possible options for recovery of medical expenses, lost income and, in certain cases, the pain and suffering you and your family have endured.

Success Story — Birth Injury, $2,000,000.00 compensation invested to provide a home and lifetime care
JB's baby girl was born with severe cerebral palsy which meant that she would never be able to speak, care for herself or even move around or eat on her own. We were able to prove that her problems were caused by a lack of oxygen during delivery. The nurse on duty claimed that she had checked the fetal heart rate as required to make sure that didn't happen but she had failed to record some of the checks in the chart. We settled the case for $2,000,000.00 which was invested in an annuity which would pay monthly payments totaling in excess of $4,000,000.00 over the baby's life time. This enabled JB to buy a home and a vehicle, modified for accessibility, and provided her with enough income to provide for her baby's care for life.
