  • Medical Malpractice

No one plans to become the victim of medical negligence. But when a trusted healthcare provider makes a preventable mistake, the damage can be life-altering.

When Medical Care Goes Wrong, We Step In.

From botched surgeries to misdiagnosed conditions, these aren’t just clinical errors—they’re human ones, with consequences that ripple through every part of a patient’s life. At Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, we represent those who’ve suffered the unthinkable at the hands of the very system meant to heal them.

Why Experienced Legal Advocacy Matters

Medical malpractice isn’t just a paperwork issue—it’s a battle against powerful institutions with vast resources. Hospitals, insurance companies, and corporate health systems are quick to protect their own, often at the expense of the patient. Our firm understands both the medicine and the law.

We know how to identify when standards of care were breached, how to expose systemic failures, and—most importantly—how to stand beside our clients until justice is served. If you're facing overwhelming medical bills, long-term disability, or the loss of a loved one due to negligence, we’re here to help you reclaim your power.

3 Things to Prove in a Medical Malpractice Case

In a typical medical malpractice case, there are three elements that need to be proven.

  • What Was the Standard of Care Required of the Medical Professional?
    What a reasonably prudent healthcare provider would do or not do in the same or similar circumstance.
  • Was There a Violation of the Applicable Standard of Care?
    Showing that the doctor, nurse, or medical professional did something that falls outside of what is expected of them during the medical procedure.
  • Did the Violation Proximately Cause Severe Injury, Harm, or Death?
    This simply means that the provider’s actions (or inaction) caused the injury. In summary, whether or not these elements are met varies from case to case. Submit your case to our proven medical malpractice lawyers for a free evaluation. We will be happy to go over your case with you and investigate further.
