Winning The Battle For
Health and Financial Stability

If you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, you have two battles ahead: the battle to recover health and the battle to recover financial stability.

While you have likely already enlisted doctors to help you win the first battle, you may be struggling with the second. The good news is that you may be able to get legal help so you do not have to fight that battle alone. If you have an actionable medical malpractice claim, you do not have to take on the health care provider and its insurance company by yourself.

At Winckler, Harvey & McConnell, LLP, we are Austin attorneys with more than 100 combined years of experience winning full compensation from insurance companies for our clients. We have helped individuals and families throughout Texas secure optimal compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and other costs.
