Most medical facilities are reluctant to admit wrongdoing. Many surgeons, doctors and other medical professionals seem more concerned with protecting their reputation than making sure their patients receive the compensation they need to cover all the costs associated with a medical injury.
The financial impact of a serious injury sustained in a hospital or another health care facility can be significant. You or a loved one might need surgery or physical therapy. You might not be able to work for weeks or months during the recovery process. All of these things can add up fast. And if you don't take legal action, you might end up paying for someone else's mistakes.
Attorney Johnson knows how to handle such complicated situations. He knows how to negotiate with hospitals, insurance companies and the teams of attorneys they often hire to represent their best interests. While he's skilled at negotiating a favorable settlement, he's not afraid to take all of them to court if necessary and let a jury decide. Put your trust in us.

Serious injuries and fatalities due to hospital infections have been increasingly common in recent years. Just as frightening, many of the infections people contract while a patient in a hospital cannot be treated with antibiotics. That's because many of the infections people develop in hospitals involve MRSA, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and other drug-resistant bacteria. Such infections can be very serious or even deadly, especially among elderly hospital patients. Take your case seriously right from the start. Contact us right now.
When surgeons make mistakes, their actions can have dire consequences. Many patients often experience serious health problems due to:
- Wrong medical procedure being performed
- Medical instruments left inside patient
- Wrong body part or organ removed
- Unsanitary conditions in operating room
- Excessive blood loss
- Anesthesia errors
Don't try to engage in a legal battle with a surgeon, hospital, their insurance company or the army of attorneys that represent them. George S. Johnson can take them on and hold them accountable. If necessary, George can file a personal injury lawsuit against the surgeon and the hospital on your behalf. He will not rest until justice is served.
Hospital emergency rooms can be chaotic places. But that's no excuse for medical errors that can cause serious harm to you or a loved one. That's why George Johnson wants to meet with you. He has years of experience handling all different types of cases involving emergency room errors, including:
- Delay of treatment (some patients sit for hours in the hospital waiting room)
- Misdiagnosis of medical problem
- Medication errors
- Providing the wrong treatment due to misreading medical charts
- Sending patients home too soon
Whatever type of error you're dealing with, you shouldn't have to suffer due to someone else's mistakes. We can demand to see hospital's medical records for your incident, consult with medical experts and transform all that information into a strong, legal case.
Slip and fall accidents in hospitals, doctor's offices, physical therapist's offices and other medical facilities often result in broken bones in the hands, arms, hips and pelvis. These injuries may be more serious than the medical condition that you needed to have treated in the first place! That's why we're eager to meet with you. You and your family have suffered enough. Focus on getting better. We can handle everything else, from filling out all the paperwork associated with such injuries to filing a lawsuit on your behalf if necessary.
Injuries sustained by newborn babies can last a lifetime. That's why it's critical that you take strong legal action as soon as possible to protect your family's rights. Our law firm handles many different types of birth injuries, including:
- Brain damage
- Broken bones
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb's palsy
- Paralysis
Don't simply assume your family will be fairly compensated for your injuries. Most hospitals will do everything they can to pay families as little as possible. That's not right. That's why we're here to help you get the justice you deserve. Put your trust in us. Contact us today.
