David J. Oliveira Law Office - Medical Malpractice

A tradition of experience, skill and compassion serving injured clients and their loved ones harmed by medical malpractice and other causes

For three decades David 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 a failure to diagnose or to treat; by surgery on the wrong site or organ; by malpractice in prescribing drugs; by implanting unapproved IUDs or faulty prosthetic devices -- or a host of other possible acts of medical negligence -- we are here to help.

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

When accidents happen and medical mistakes are made, the victim and family need the best help they can get. Serious personal injury and death cases 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 insurance carriers.

If you are looking for a lawyer to help you through this difficult period, there are a number of fine attorneys who might represent you. Some are more qualified than others. Before making a decision, include us in your consideration. You won't be sorry that you did.

David Oliveira practices what he teaches. As an adjunct professor at Roger Williams University School of Law, David brings his skill and experience as a 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 the 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 cases as local or referral counsel at the request of Rhode Island or out-of-sate law firms requiring litigation expertise.

When tragedy results in serious injury or death, you can rely on our firm's compassion, experience, and a record of success.
