The attorneys at Lanier Law Firm are passionate advocates for those who have been wrongfully injured. Negligence by healthcare providers is especially egregious because of the tremendous trust patients give them. Healthcare providers have a legal duty to offer treatment that meets or exceeds standards of care.
The Lanier Law Firm Difference
The Lanier Law Firm was founded by Mark Lanier in 1990. Our firm has since grown to a staff of over 60 passionate attorneys in three states, each with decades of experience in all areas of personal injury law.
Our attorneys have successfully represented large corporations, insurance companies, and healthcare providers, but our real passion is to advocate for injured individuals, often against these entities. Our experience representing parties on both sides provides us with unique insights that help us win cases.
At Lanier Law Firm, we are unafraid to take on large healthcare corporations on behalf of individuals. We specialize in holding large corporations accountable who erroneously believe they are above the law due to their vast financial resources.
With offices in Houston, Los Angeles, and New York City, we represent clients throughout the nation. Our firm is well-known nationally for its success in winning historically large verdicts.
Our medical malpractice attorneys have successfully represented clients who were injured in a multitude of circumstances:
- Birth injuries
- Nursing home neglect and abuse
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnosis
- Delayed treatment
- Medication errors
- Surgical errors
