"Travis Berry has gone above & beyond the call of duty for us. He is very professional & has became a good friend in the process. I highly recommend him if you ever need a lawyer."

Karen Knobles

"I have worked on cases both with Travis as co-counsel, and against him as opposing counsel. I have also used him as a mediator, both in small cases, as well as large cases. As a litigator, Travis is excellent; it is so nice to try cases with or against someone who knows what he is doing. Travis brings his trial skills and his long history of trial experience to the mediation table. Although I consider Travis to be a close friend, he tells it like it is (regardless of whether or not it is what I want to hear). He is truly committed to doing whatever it takes to get the case settled. I highly recommend Travis as a mediator, as well as partnering up with him as co-counsel."

Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor, or other health care professional, through a negligent act or omission, causes an injury to a patient. The negligence might be the result of errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. To be considered medical malpractice under the law, the claim must have the following characteristics: A violation of the standard of care - The law acknowledges that certain medical standards are recognized by profession as an acceptable medical treatment by reasonably prudent healthcare professionals under similar circumstances. This is known as the standard of care. A patient has the right to expect that health care professionals will deliver care consistent with these standards. If it is determined that the standard of care has not been met, then negligence may be established. An injury was caused by negligence - For a medical malpractice claim to be valid, it is not sufficient that a health care professional violated the standard of care. The patient must also prove they sustained an injury that would not have occurred in the absence of negligence. An unfavorable outcome by itself is not malpractice. The patient must prove that the negligence caused the injury. If there is an injury without negligence or negligence that did not cause an injury, there is no case. The injury resulted in significant damages - Medical malpractice lawsuits are costly to litigate, frequently requiring testimony of numerous medical experts and countless hours of deposition testimony. For a case to be viable, the patient must show that significant damages resulted from an injury received due to medical negligence. If the damages are small, the cost of pursuing the case might be greater than the eventual recovery. To pursue a medical malpractice claim, the patient must show that the injury resulted in disability, loss of income, unusual pain, suffering, hardship, or significant past and future medical bills. Berry & Turnage investigates and reviews potential Medical Malpractice lawsuits. If you think you may have a potential claim, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Our experienced team of litigators will help you navigate the next steps to take.

Our Team at Berry & Turnage understands that motorcyclists are often not seen on the highway, and the responsible party is not held accountable in the courtroom. Regardless of the experience of an operator of a motorcycle, accidents can occur when other drivers fail to understand the road rules. Motorcyclists need an Arkansas motorcycle accident attorney that understands the law and leaves no stone unturned in the investigation of your case. Because motorcycle injuries tend to be much more severe, you need an attorney who understands how critical working with medical professionals is. Establishing and clearly showing the extent and cause of an injury is a vital aspect of an attorney’s job. At Berry & Turnage, we have dealt with severe and fatal injuries and worked closely with doctors and other medical professionals for decades. Our team knows just what to do to ensure your case’s success and the truth of your injuries come to light against the responsible parties and insurance companies.

The quality of care rendered to the youngest, sickest, or oldest citizens, since they are unable to care for themselves, determines the strength of our State. Unfortunately, the quality of care given in nursing homes is presently considered a disgrace by many. Nursing Home neglect injuries are suffered in surprising frequency, increasingly resulting in a loss of dignity, self-respect, and quality of life for our loved ones. Our firm investigates and reviews potential nursing home neglect lawsuits for injuries suffered as a result of inadequate care provided at nursing homes, hospitals, and long term assisted living facilities throughout Arkansas. Pursuing a lawsuit against a nursing home not only provides compensation for the victim or the victim’s family but also operates as an essential safeguard in our community to ensure that proper standards are enforced in the industry. Types of Neglect Cases ReviewedMany of the injuries suffered as a result of neglect come failure to staff the facility adequately. Those injuries can be painful, debilitating, and sometimes life-threatening. Nursing home and other similar type facilities neglect cases investigated by our firm include: Bedsores (also known as pressure sores) Dehydration and malnutrition Abuse and assault Restraint injuries and strangulation Falls and fractures Wandering and leaving the facility Wrongful death Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Prescription errors Other cases of medical neglect

Also known as “trip and fall,” these cases involve all premise liability claims of injured individuals. Our attorneys have experience in many cases involving injury claims arising out of the negligence of the owner of the premises. The duty owed to a guest is different than the duty owed to a trespasser. These claims are not limited to the traditional injuries that occur when a foreign substance causes a grocery store patron to suffer an injury. Our team will conduct an accessibility evaluation to ensure the premises comply with the American Disabilities Act. Sometimes it is prudent to retain an expert to evaluate the environment and the possible associated human interactions. An injury can occur in an unsafe environment without any notice or suspicion of a dangerous situation. Make sure you have an attorney who has the experience needed to understand these cases. We have worked on lawsuits involving defective staircases, defective ladders, foreign substances on the floor, falling shelves at a supermarket, moving display units, and dozens of other situations that result in an injury to an unsuspecting person.
