Cases of Medical Malpractice in Chattanooga

Rights for Injured Patients in Hamilton County & the Surrounding Areas

Recipients of medical care have the right to expect competent practice and conscientious care from healthcare professionals. Sadly, the medical profession is prone to make errors, from minor acts to outpatients to major incidents in surgery. According to the Society of Actuaries, in 2008 alone preventable medical errors cost Americans $19.5 billion. Worse than this monetary loss is the loss of life, where an estimated 2,500 deaths could have been avoided occur each year.

Berke, Berke & Berke is equipped to represent your case of medical malpractice with our aggressive advocacy. No matter the case, we investigate thoroughly and contact experienced professionals to build a winning case.

  • Types of malpractice cases our Chattanooga medical injury lawyers are equipped to handle include:
  • Misdiagnosis
  • Failure to diagnose, including heart disease and cancer
  • Surgical and post-surgical failure
  • Prescription drug error including incorrect dosage or prescription
  • Failure to monitor recovery
  • Nursing home neglect and abuse
  • Dental malpractice
  • Wrongful death

Empathetic Counsel on the Road to Recovery

If you are suffering from the above types of malpractice, do not hesitate to seek lawyer assistance. Medical injuries can quickly sap the life and vitality of one's spirit. The one entrusted to provide the care you need has failed you. It is common to feel betrayed, question assistance, and distrust all.

We provide the personal care you are looking for while walking with you on this road to recovery. We are by your side until you rightly receive success at trial or by settlement.

Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Claims in Tennessee

It's important to be aware of the short amount of time you have to file a medical malpractice claim in the state of Tennessee. Tenn. Code § 28-3-104 states that the statute of limitations for injury claims, including medical malpractice, is one year from the date the injury was discovered. However, you must also file a claim no more than three years after the injury actually occurred. There is only one exception for this - if a foreign object is left inside a patient's body during a procedure.
