Malpractice

We trust doctors to keep us healthy. When doctors or nurses make mistakes, patients and their families can suffer. At Telpner Peterson Law Firm, LLP, our attorneys take action against negligent doctors, nurses and other medical professionals.

We handle a broad spectrum of medical malpractice cases, including:

• Failure to diagnose
• Misdiagnosis
• Birth injuries
• Emergency room errors
• Hospital errors
• Surgical errors
• Wrongful death

Our personal injury lawyer will investigate your case to determine whether the hospital or medical professional was at fault. If we determine that your injury was the result of malpractice, we will take action to obtain the highest possible settlement for your injuries.

When medical malpractice worsens your condition, it is imperative that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible. In any personal injury case, the other side begins building a case against the plaintiff immediately. Doctors, hospitals and insurance companies all have lawyers on their side. To successfully pursue the compensation you deserve, you need a lawyer on yours.

Our lawyers are experienced trial advocates who will not hesitate to take on hospitals’ insurance companies in court. Walter P. Thomas of our office has represented injured people for many years and is a member of the Iowa Trial Lawyers Association and the Iowa Association for Justice.
