Law Office Of Kenneth C. Chessick, M.D.

Our Philiosophy:

The lawyers and staff of the Law Office of Kenneth C. Chessick, MD are highly trained in both the professions of law and medicine. The firm reflects the philosophy of Dr. Chessick:

• Medical negligence is epidemic in America. 98,000 patients die in hospitals annually as a result of medical negligence. Careless doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies must be held responsible for their actions. Our clients have suffered severe, often catastrophic injuries as a result of this negligence. We zealously represent these unfortunate victims of negligence by protecting patients and their legal rights.

• The truth is that nobody wins these law suits. Our clients have already been severely injured before seeing us. Forcing the negligent health care providers to pay money to the client makes their lives more tolerable and easier, but this is not winning. The best that the money paid by the negligent doctors and insurance companies can achieve is to attempt to restore our clients to the way they were before the doctor's negligence.

Our necessary lawsuits against negligent and careless doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies create a safer and better world for everybody. Our lawsuits:

• Force the negligent health care provider and its insurance company to help pay the costs of the injuries they have caused and attempt to restore the innocent victim to a place prior to the negligence. The innocent victim cannot bear these costs alone;

• Force the negligent health care provider and its insurance company to modify future conduct so that other people are not injured, and to prevent potential future injuries; and,

• Force the negligent health care provider to acknowledge careless conduct and systems, making doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and others act responsibly.

By protecting patients and their legal rights, our clients and society at large benefit, and the world is made a better and safer place.
