- Medical MalpracticeEach day, countless Wisconsin residents seek medical attention for injury or illness, and in doing so, place a significant amount of trust in the doctors, nurses, and other workers at hospitals, clinics, and other care providers. Unfortunately, while there are many brilliant medical professionals in Wisconsin dedicated to providing the finest possible medical treatment to patients, lobbying efforts by an organization called the Wisconsin Medical Society have resulted in a system that insulates Wisconsin doctors, rather than holding them accountable. To make matters worse, a state fund established to provide excess medical malpractice coverage to doctors could even attract bad doctors to Wisconsin from other states, by providing them with a means to avoid skyrocketing premiums due to claims made against them in those states. Our Milwaukee medical malpractice lawyer can help you.
