Firm Overview
Atlanta, Georgia Medical Malpractice Attorney
Kirschner & Venker, P.C. is a personal injury law firm that specializes in all kinds of medical malpractice cases in Atlanta, Georgia.
When you visit a doctor, therapist, clinic, or hospital, you assume your life and health are in the hands of trustworthy, attentive, caring, well-trained professionals. As careful as most health care providers are, accidents, wrong diagnoses, improper dosages, prescription mix-ups, unnecessary tests and treatments, and other mistakes happen, often with dire consequences. Doctors, physicians’ assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, therapists, x-ray technicians and radiologists, and anesthesiologists make and carry out thousands of decisions that affect your health over the course of a lifetime.
If something goes wrong in your treatment or rehabilitation, almost overnight, the deck is stacked against you in several ways. Not only will you be charged large sums of money for a procedure or hospital stay that made you sicker, but it will soon become obvious that health insurance companies and hospitals themselves are not on your side. Insurance firms keep teams of aggressive attorneys waiting to vigorously defend their corporation against your malpractice or negligence claim.
At the Atlanta, Georgia, law firm of Venker, P.C., we aren’t intimidated by big insurance companies or hospital lawyers. We are skilled, knowledgeable, and confident Atlanta attorneys who are fully prepared to address the opposition head on, so you can return to a normal life as quickly as possible.
Personal injury cases are often an intense battle against insurance companies who simply refuse to pay you for damages until you legally force them to do so. They are in business to make a profit, not to protect you from a devastating situation. These companies often increase profits by finding ways to decline payment for costs incurred by accidents, medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
When it comes to medical malpractice, you can receive damages for:
- Serious injuries or illness resulting from improper medical treatment
