Thoughtful, Experienced Representation For Clients In Tennessee

Powerful Advocacy For Victims Of Medical Malpractice

When health care professionals fail to provide the standard of care that you or your loved ones deserve, the consequences can be devastating. Coping with the aftermath of medical negligence is challenging enough. Finding the right lawyer to pursue your rights can add more stress to your plate.

You can turn to me, medical malpractice attorney Ira Long, to shoulder the legal aspect of your tragic situation. I bring over 40 years of experience to the table. As a seasoned Chattanooga lawyer who has represented medical negligence victims across Tennessee, I have obtained numerous outstanding results for my clients. My firm is one of the few in the area with the resources, experience and knowledge to handle the complexities of medical malpractice cases. I do it with a personal touch that builds lasting relationships with those I represent.

Unique Insight Into Medical Negligence Of All Kinds

Medical negligence cases require a thorough understanding of the medical field and the involvement of highly qualified experts. I bring an insider’s perspective to these complex cases. My father and son’s careers as doctors give me insight into the intricacies of health care as well as strong connections with trusted experts in the medical field. I leverage those advantages to serve as a powerful advocate for victims of malpractice. I’ve delivered seminars on the intricacies of this area of law, and my approach is both informed and compassionate.

Throughout my career, I have dealt with a wide range of medical malpractice cases, each unique and deeply personal to the individuals involved. I handle cases such as:

  • Birth injuries: When the joy of birth is overshadowed by injury due to medical oversight, I am here to seek redress for you and your child’s future.
  • Medical misdiagnosis: A misdiagnosis can lead to improper treatment or a lack of treatment altogether. I fight to correct these wrongs.
  • Pharmacy errors: Mistakes in dispensing medication can have serious consequences. I’m dedicated to holding pharmacies accountable.
  • Surgical errors: Mistakes during surgery and unnecessary surgery are unacceptable. I tirelessly pursue justice for such grievous errors.
  • Medication errors: When the drugs meant to heal cause harm instead, I stand ready to help you navigate the legal process to recovery.
  • Nursing negligence: Nurses play a vital role in your care. When that care falls short, I can advocate for your right to compensation.
  • Anesthesia negligence: Anesthesia mistakes can be life-altering. I understand how to handle these heartbreaking cases with the seriousness they deserve.
  • Hospital negligence: Inadequate staffing and poor protocols can lead to devastating outcomes. I am committed to holding hospitals and health care institutions accountable.
  • Emergency room errors: In the chaos of an ER, mistakes and oversights are far too common. I can help you seek justice if you’ve been harmed by emergency room negligence.

I understand the nuances of Tennessee medical malpractice and injury law and how they apply to these situations.
