At Stanger & Arnold, LLP, We Help Determine if You Have a Case

If you've been injured because of a professional's failure to meet the accepted standard of care, workmanship, or professionalism in their field, you may be entitled to compensation from the person or company that caused your injuries. Our Hartford, Connecticut professional malpractice lawyers work with our clients to evaluate whether they have been damaged by the action (or failure to act) of a professional, and whether their damages justify a lawsuit.

Some examples of malpractice include:

Medical Malpractice

• Doctor errors or surgical errors
• Foreign objects, such as sponges, left in patient's body after surgery
• Indiscriminate use of radiation
• TMJ surgery resulting in inability to open mouth
• Failure to diagnose colon cancer or any disease in a timely manner
• Prescribing the wrong antibiotic
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI injury)
• Wrongful death

• Agreed to a settlement without all of the facts or without the client’s permission
• Stealing clients’ money or commingling the funds of clients
• Fiduciary misconduct

Finding an Expert

Determining if professional malpractice has occurred frequently requires the use of experts. Finding the right expert is one of the most important services we provide. At Stanger & Arnold, LLP, our lawyers recommend working with experts who are active in their field, and we perform a thorough search to ensure the individuals we hire have the appropriate credentials for our case.

Damages

Damages can include reimbursement for the cost of the professional's services as well as the value of the underlying work for which you hired the professional. For example, if the malpractice case is against a doctor, damages could include lost wages (both past and future), medical bills, and loss of enjoyment in life. In a legal malpractice case, damages are intended to put the client in the place they would have been in if the lawyer had performed properly.

Our Fees Are on a Contingency Basis

Our professional malpractice attorneys generally accept cases on a contingency-fee basis. This means we do not receive any fees for our services unless we recover money for our clients. When we win the case - either at trial or by settling out of court - our fees are deducted from the damages awarded.
