We received excellent care and service from Rawls Law Group. While I hope that nobody ever needs their services, unfortunately, sometimes we do. Our attorney and the entire staff was caring and attentive. During the entire process, we felt that the staff cared about us. They explained everything very well which allowed us to make the best decisions.
I was informed at every step. I was kept up to date and advised along the way, I had no idea how or what to do, Rawls helped getting my case settled.
Highly recommended, especially Veterans.
My experience with Mr Rawls was probably the best experience I’ve had with a law firm. I believe people need to comprehend you are fighting the Federal Government and no matter what you believe you may entitled to you may not win. With that being said I feel Mr Rawls not only kept me informed and up to date he fought for me to get the best settlement he could. His staff is amazing. I spoke to David one time who is another attorney and he was extremely knowledgeable about. how the disability/Tort works. The most important person I had the pleasure of speaking to regularly was Carrie. She was so amazing and never made me feel as if she was rushing me off the phone. She listened and conversed and empathized. All around an amazing staff that replied in a very timely manor. While I didn’t get what we felt my case was worth based on circumstances he got me the max I could get. He is an excellent attorney and is very upfront and honest. This is a top notch firm that will actually fight for you and not accept bottom dollar. Thanks you guys for all the love and help I received from you. You guys were amazing.
Simply OUTSTANDING!!!!!! In all areas I received excellent service and staff was able to resolve any of my issues that came up. I am extremely grateful for the help. I would most definitely recommend Rawls Law Group for ANY help that requires legal help! They earned my trust. I would not hesitate asking for help from them again if needed. Very professional staff that showed expertise, kindness, and willingness in the trenches.
Answers To Your Frequently Asked Questions
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the applicable standard of care and causes serious injury or death. A bad outcome alone does not mean malpractice occurred. These cases require careful review of the medical records, expert input, and proof that negligent care caused harm.
In many cases, yes. A patient injured by negligent care at a VA hospital or clinic may have a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act. These claims have special rules, strict deadlines, and administrative claim requirements before a lawsuit can usually be filed.
Rawls Law Group handles medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. That means there is no attorney fee unless we recover money for the client. We explain attorney fees and case expenses before representation begins.
We begin by learning what happened and reviewing the available medical records. Many cases require review by medical experts before we can determine whether the standard of care was violated and whether that violation caused serious harm. If we believe we can help, we will explain the next steps.
