To protect individuals, the attorneys at Atkins & Walker Law have taken on a variety of medical malpractice cases ranging from emergency department errors, failures to treat and properly diagnose, wrong-site surgeries, and failures to monitor. If you or a loved one has been injured by a hospital or a medical provider, we are here to talk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9a08f270d4933feedd4fbd/11c8ab01-0b57-4024-bb65-ba8dcc3764aa/FINAL_AtWalk188.jpg Practice Areas - CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS The Constitution protects us from the government depriving us of our guaranteed rights. When a governmental entity or employee violates your constitutional rights, they are responsible for the injuries and damages they cause. This includes injuries resulting from the use of excessive force and the denial of medical and mental health care. With thousands of individuals incarcerated, often for crimes stemming from addiction and untreated mental illness, it is imperative that we ensure these individuals are treated with humanity and receiving medical and mental care. Atkins & Walker Law proudly represents inmates and detainees in medical negligence, malpractice, and civil rights deprivation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9a08f270d4933feedd4fbd/c997a965-370a-4ac2-a39c-cbe4de25b691/AW+Photo+Premise.jpeg Practice Areas - PREMISE LIABILITY When you enter a business owner's property as a visitor, that owner has a duty to take reasonable steps to protect you from foreseeable harms.
