We Can Help 

Medical malpractice laws in each state can vary significantly, so you need a medical malpractice attorney with years of experience in Nevada’s medical laws. A malpractice lawsuit can be a long and difficult process, but the Law Offices of Terry Friedman and Julie Throop serve Reno, Carson City and the greater Northern Nevada area and practice in malpractice suits. We’ll work to ensure that you receive the financial compensation you deserve in a timely manner. Compensation may be awarded for:

• Physical Pain
• Mental and Emotional Anguish
• Additional Medical Bills
• Lost Wages

In many cases, punitive damages may be awarded as well. Punitive damages are above and beyond compensatory damages and are intended to deter the defendant from engaging in similar conduct in the future. For example, if the court awards $100,000 in compensatory damages in a medical malpractice suit in Nevada to cover medical bills, they may also add punitive damages of $1,000,000 to prevent the defendant from committing a similar act in the future.
