Medical Malpractice Attorney in Gulfport, Mississippi

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice happens when a hospital, doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider causes injury to a patient by failing to follow accepted standards of care. These cases are often complex and emotionally draining, but they are also about accountability. At Holleman Law Firm, PLLC, I fight for patients and families across South Mississippi and the Gulf Coast who have suffered due to medical negligence.

How Do You Know if You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

Not every bad outcome in medicine is malpractice. To prove a claim, you must show that a healthcare provider failed to meet the professional standard of care, and that this failure caused measurable harm.

Common examples of malpractice include:

• • • Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of life-threatening conditions
    • Surgical errors, including wrong-site surgery or leaving objects inside the body
    • Anesthesia mistakes leading to brain injuries
    • Misdiagnosis of cancer, stroke, or infections
    • Birth injuries that harm newborns or mothers
    • Medication and dosage errors
    • Negligent emergency room care

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice claims can involve a range of negligent parties, including:

• • • Physicians, surgeons, or specialists
    • Nurses or hospital staff
    • Nursing home staff
    • Anesthesiologists
    • Pharmacists
    • Hospitals, clinics, or surgical centers

I thoroughly investigate every case to identify all liable parties and pursue every available claim.

What Compensation Is Available in a Medical Malpractice Case?

If you were harmed by medical negligence, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages, including:

• • • Medical expenses, both past and future
    • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
    • Rehabilitation and long-term care costs
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional distress
    • Loss of companionship (in wrongful death cases)

What Types of Medical Malpractice Cases Can I Handle?

As a medical malpractice attorney with over three decades of experience, I have handled nearly every type of malpractice case across Mississippi. I know how to dig into complex medical evidence, challenge powerful hospitals and insurers, and hold negligent health care providers accountable.

Over the years, I have taken on hospitals, large corporations, manufacturers, and insurance companies—and prevailed. Some examples of the medical malpractice cases I’ve handled include:

• • • Hospital Negligence and Product Liability – Operating Room Gas Line Mix-Up
      A young wife and mother of two went in for a routine procedure but left the operating room in a coma after the oxygen and nitrous lines were mistakenly crossed. Despite the anesthesiologist believing he was administering 100% oxygen, the patient was given 100% nitrous oxide gas. She later died after being removed from life support. I filed suit against the hospital, the anesthesiologist, and the equipment manufacturer. Not only did the case settle for a substantial seven-figure amount, but the litigation also led the manufacturer to modify its quick-connect system so this tragedy could not be repeated.
    • Defective Medical Equipment – Toddler Strangled in a Hospital Bed
      In another heartbreaking case, the design of a pediatric hospital bed caused the strangulation death of a nearly two-year-old toddler at a military hospital. The faulty design allowed the child’s head and neck to become trapped between the clear fold-away top and the siderail, tightening like a lock the harder the child struggled. Through expert testimony and aggressive litigation, I demonstrated the defect. The case resolved with a significant settlement for the parents, and the defective hospital bed was redesigned and eventually removed from the market—preventing future deaths.

Beyond these examples, I have represented patients and families in malpractice claims involving:

• • • Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of life-threatening conditions
    • Surgical errors and anesthesia malpractice
    • Birth injuries to newborns and mothers
    • Misdiagnosis of spinal cord and brain injuries
    • Medication and prescription errors
    • Negligence in emergency rooms and hospitals
    • Injuries caused by defective medical devices or equipment

While no amount of money can undo the harm caused by medical negligence, I fight to deliver both justice and security for my clients. My goal is not only to obtain maximum compensation but also to hold negligent providers and corporations accountable so similar tragedies can be prevented in the future.
