Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Mobile, Alabama – Aggressive Advocacy When You’ve Been Harmed by a Trusted Provider

When you walk into a doctor’s office, hospital, or clinic in Mobile, you expect competent, compassionate care. But when a trusted medical professional makes a mistake — a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or nursing home oversight — the results can be devastating. You may be facing long-term complications, unexpected medical bills, and serious pain.

At Maloney-Lyons, LLC, our Mobile medical malpractice attorneys fight for patients who’ve been harmed by negligent healthcare providers. We’ve helped victims across Mobile County recover compensation and hold doctors, nurses, and hospital systems accountable.

Types of Medical Malpractice We Handle in Mobile, AL

We’ve successfully represented clients injured by hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and private medical practices across Mobile. Some of the most common types of malpractice cases we handle include:

Medication Errors

Many medical professionals make the mistake of prescribing the wrong medication, giving the wrong quantity of medication or failing to prescribe any medication at all. Maybe they did not take the time to properly identify your ailment, or maybe they were simply neglectful and made an easily avoidable mistake. Regardless, even the smallest medication error can have serious, life-threatening consequences. We will help you set things right.

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

Sometimes doctors or medical providers are simply wrong when diagnosing patients. However, in misdiagnosis cases where any other reasonable doctor would have correctly diagnosed you, you should hold your doctor accountable for their careless behavior. Not only can failure to properly diagnose a patient exacerbate the conditions of their actual ailment, but treatment for the wrong illness can create its own problems. Our attorneys fight to secure maximum recovery for the damage your doctor has caused.

Surgical Errors

Surgery is not something anybody enjoys going through. When a surgeon makes a serious error during your surgery, it could make your underlying condition even worse. And when one surgery goes wrong, the last thing you want is to have more follow-up surgeries. We’ve represented a range of surgical error victims, and we will fight for you too.

Birth Injuries & Delivery Negligence

You’ve been waiting months for the birth of your child and have invested time, money and love into welcoming the newest member of your family. When your child experiences a birth injury such as facial paralysis, cerebral palsy or a brachial plexus injury as a result of your doctor’s carelessness during delivery, we take aggressive action as we pursue full compensation to help care for your baby’s injuries. While a lawsuit cannot turn back time, it can hold your doctor accountable for their egregious mistakes.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

When we choose a nursing home for our loved one, we expect the highest level of care as they near the final years of their life. However, nursing homes are notoriously careless in hiring the right staff, maintaining their facilities and properly caring for their residents. When you believe your loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, we will conduct a full evaluation and hold the facility accountable for their behavior or lack thereof.
