Washington D.C. Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Legal Help in Medical Malpractice Cases
Washington, DC and Maryland Medical Malpractice Attorneys
All health care professionals owe a duty to their patients to provide medical treatment that meets a recognized standard of care. Doctors, surgeons, medical technicians, nurses, and other health care professionals are all held to the standard of care within their profession. A medical malpractice case can be brought when this standard of care was not met, and injury resulted.
At the law office of Schultz and Trombly, PLLC, our medical malpractice attorneys have been handling complex medical negligence and birth injury cases for more than 30 years. We have helped hundreds of families and children achieve financial recovery for injuries they suffered from medical treatment that fell below the standard of care. This includes cases involving hospitals, HMOs and nursing homes.
We are recognized in our field because of the results we have achieved for our clients.

Fees in Medical Malpractice Cases
Serious personal injury cases require a substantial investment of time and money, in order to adequately investigate, prepare and go to trial. We do not charge our clients any fee unless we are successful in obtain compensation. If your case meets our initial screening criteria, we will proceed with an investigation, and if it has merit, we will represent you on a contingency fee basis. If we are successful in securing a financial recovery, we are paid a percentage of the amount recovered and we are reimbursed for our expenses. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing for the work we have performed.
