A Medical Malpractice Law Firm You Can Trust

A well-respected law firm with a tradition of experience, legal skill and compassion serving patients and their loved ones injured by medical malpractice

For three decades attorney David J. Oliveira and his staff have represented seriously injured victims and their families in cases involving medical malpractice and other claims for personal injury. If your family has been harmed by doctor, nurse or other caregiver error; by nursing home or hospital negligence or neglect; by misdiagnosis or a failure to diagnose; by surgery on the wrong site or organ or other surgical mistake; by malpractice in prescribing drugs or by adverse drug interactions; by implanting unapproved IUDs or faulty prosthetics or medical devices -- or a host of other possible acts of medical negligence -- we are here to help.

We have a special interest in medical malpractice cases and claims, but we also handle serious personal injuries and wrongful death from other causes.

When medical mistakes are made, the patient and family need the best help they can get. A serious malpractice case can be complicated, emotional and costly; and there may be little chance of success without the help of an experienced lawyer who knows the law, understands the rules, and appreciates the anxiety and financial strain that clients must confront -- first from the injury, and then from the battle with the defendants and their malpractice insurance carriers.

If you are trying to find a lawyer to help you through this difficult period, and to recover the fair compensation you deserve, there are a number of fine attorneys who might represent you. Some are more qualified than others. Some are more experienced. Some are simply a better fit. Before making a decision, include us in your consideration. You won't be sorry that you did.

David Oliveira teaches the same cutting edge medical malpractice law that he practices. As an adjunct professor at Roger Williams University School of Law, David brings his skill and experience as a malpractice litigation lawyer to students of Advanced Trial Advocacy, Law & Medicine and Advanced Torts. He is a lawyer's lawyer as well as a student's lawyer -- earning respect within the profession for his integrity, his passionate advocacy, his knowledge of medical malpractice law and his willingness to share it.

David and his staff have recovered millions of dollars for clients in medical malpractice and other cases in state and federal courts in Rhode Island and Massachusetts; and he has been specially admitted to represent clients in other states as well. He often handles malpractice cases as local or referral counsel at the request of Rhode Island or out-of-sate law firms requiring litigation expertise.
