Our Medical Malpractice Services in Marion County

Healthcare mistakes can be devestating and dramatically impact a patient’s quality of life. When you are left with an injury or ailment due to a healthcare provider’s error or negligence, you might be dealing with hefty medical bills with no way to work–all while dealing with health problems as the result of someone else’s negligence.

Goddard Law is here to help. We work with Fairmont families to build medical malpractice cases when harm was done in a hospital or clinic setting. Whether your child sustained a birth injury that was entirely preventable or you’re dealing with the death of a loved one as the result of medical negligence, our legal team has the experience and dedication to fight your case as your Fairmont medical malpractice attorney.

Medical Malpractice

When you trust healthcare professionals with your well-being, you expect competent care that follows established medical protocols. Medical malpractice occurs when doctors, nurses, hospitals, or other providers deliver substandard treatment that causes preventable harm. These complex cases require thorough investigation and medical expertise to prove negligence. Attorney David Goddard has spent decades building successful medical malpractice cases in West Virginia, working with medical experts to demonstrate how proper care could have prevented your injuries.

Birth Injury

The joy of welcoming a new baby can quickly turn to heartbreak when medical professionals make critical errors during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. Birth injuries like cerebral palsy, fractured bones during delivery, and brain damage from oxygen deprivation often stem from failures to monitor fetal distress, improper use of delivery instruments, or delayed emergency interventions. Our Fairmont medical malpractice lawyers understand that birth injuries affect not just the child, but the entire family’s future, requiring specialized care and resources for years to come.

Wrongful Death

Losing a family member to medical negligence is one of life’s most devastating experiences. Whether caused by anesthesia errors, post-surgical complications that weren’t properly monitored, or delayed diagnosis of treatable conditions, wrongful death cases require compassionate yet aggressive legal representation. Our Fairmont medical malpractice attorneys help families navigate both the legal process and the practical challenges of losing a loved one, including pursuing compensation for economic losses and the immeasurable loss of companionship.

Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing home residents depend on staff for basic needs like medication management, fall prevention, and proper nutrition. When facilities cut corners or fail to adequately train staff, residents suffer from bedsores, medication errors, falls, and sometimes fatal neglect. Signs of nursing home abuse include unexplained injuries, sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, or behavioral changes. We help Marion County families investigate suspected abuse and pursue legal action to protect vulnerable residents while seeking compensation for harm caused by inadequate care.

You don’t have to suffer through your injury alone. Here at Goddard Law, our team works hard to provide the exceptional legal counsel you need to recover the compensation you deserve. If someone else has caused you or a loved one harm, contact us and schedule a complimentary consultation.
