The King Firm - Where Justice Reigns
No Win. No Fee. No Worries. Only Pay When We Win.
Medical Malpractice
Serving Since 1973
When we seek medical care, we place immense trust in doctors, nurses, and hospitals to act with competence and integrity. Yet even highly trained professionals can make critical errors — and when they do, the consequences can be life-changing or life-threatening. The King Firm represents victims of medical negligence throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee, helping patients and families obtain justice when the healthcare system fails them.
Our attorneys are currently licensed in the state of Alabama, but may enter cases in other states via pro hac vice admission, subject to state statutes, professional standards, and court rules.
The Challenges of Malpractice Cases
Hospitals, medical groups, and insurers often fight these claims vigorously. They may argue that complications were unavoidable, that symptoms were unrelated to their error, or that a patient’s outcome was not caused by negligence. The King Firm’s attorneys are skilled at cutting through these defenses using:
-
Detailed medical records
-
Deposition testimony
-
Expert opinions
-
Comparative medical evidence
-
Timeline reconstruction
Because medical malpractice cases in Alabama — and throughout the Southeast — have strict statutes of limitation, it is essential to act quickly once an error is suspected.

Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s actions deviate from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. These cases can involve, among other things:
-
Surgical errors
-
Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
-
Delayed treatment
-
Birth injuries
-
Medication mistakes
-
Anesthesia errors
Under Alabama law, proving malpractice requires demonstrating that:
-
A doctor-patient relationship existed;
-
The provider failed to meet the standard of care;
-
That failure directly caused injury or death; and
-
The patient suffered measurable damages as a result.
(These elements may differ slightly from state to state, but the core principles remain similar across the Southeast.)

Your stories
Alli B.
Jasper AL
My name is Alli. When I was 16, I was involved in a car accident late on a Friday night as I was heading home from hanging out with my friends. It was one of the scariest moments of my life and left me hurt and afraid to drive for quite some time. When I called The King Firm, they spent a bunch of time with me so they could understand not only what happened during the accident, but how I felt and how my healing was coming along. They worked diligently on my case and fought for the justice I needed to move on with my life. Their hard work led to a successful resolution of my case. I would send any of my friends or family members to Jimmy King and his team because I know they will be in the best hands.
