A Message about "Tort Reform" from Domnitz & Skemp
Recent media coverage would have you believe that frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits in this country are at crisis level, reducing the quality of care and driving honest, hard-working doctors and medical professionals out of the state and out of the medical business. The image of unscrupulous personal injury attorneys looking for a quick buck has been entirely manufactured by the public relations efforts of insurance companies seeking to minimize their financial exposure and maintain their profitability for shareholders.
The solution politicians propose to deal with these contrived factors is legislation limiting damages but the hard truth is that medical mistakes happen every day and injured people have not only the legal right, but the urgent need to collect compensation.
Doctors, dentists, nurses, nursing home workers, and other healthcare providers are obliged by law and professional ethics to provide care according to accepted standards. That is all that is required of them: living up to accepted standards of care. When those standards are not met and an injury or death results, they can and should be held liable for damages.
The Milwaukee medical negligence lawyers of Domnitz & Skemp have helped clients throughout Wisconsin and northern Illinois over the past 50 years to secure compensation after the negligent injury or death of loved one while in the care of a doctor, hospital, or nursing home facility:
- Surgical Errors
- Foreign Objects Left in the Body
- Birth Trauma / Cerebral Palsy
- Misdiagnosis or Failure To Diagnose
- Medication Errors
- Emergency Room Errors
- Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: including medical malpractice and careless treatment leading to broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, bedsores. Also including failure to supervise and physical or sexual assaults by other residents or staff.
Medical malpractice cases are almost always contested by the insurance company, meaning you will need an attorney capable of preparing and presenting complex personal injury or wrongful death claims before the court. At Domnitz & Skemp, we are experienced and successful TRIAL attorneys who have won significant medical malpractice judgments, including the following:
Medical Malpractice (Ozaukee Co.) - $10,500,000
Medical Negligence (Waupaca) - $3,900,000
Medical Negligence (Kenosha Co.) - $3,550,000

A bad medical outcome is not necessarily evidence of malpractice. You need a careful analysis of the circumstances and the evidence to identify malpractice and seek compensation from the responsible parties, if it exists. As such, all med mal cases are taken on a contingency-fee basis so there are no attorneys' fees unless we win for you.
We also offer other areas of personal injury and related practice, including motorcycle accidents, injuries caused by drunk drivers, slips and falls, products liability, insurance disputes and bad faith, police misconduct, and medical malpractice.
The Milwaukee law firm of Domnitz & Skemp has earned a reputation for exemplary legal services after an accident or insurance dispute, including car accident, wrongful death, drunk driver injury and slip and fall. A personal injury attorney or trial lawyer from Domnitz & Skemp will work hard to secure maximum compensation for families in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin and northern Illinois, including Kenosha, Waukesha, Racine, Elkhorn, Lake Geneva, Chicago, and Waukegan.
