Psychologist Malpractice Cases

Mental Health Malpractice Attorney in Johnson City, TN

People who are treated by psychologists or psychiatrists often form strong bonds with them. They trust their therapist or doctor to help them through a difficult time or diagnose and treat a serious emotional disorder. Mental health professionals have a duty of care to uphold an ethical therapist-patient relationship. Unfortunately, some psychologists, psychiatrists or therapists fail to uphold this duty and may take advantage of a vulnerable patient.

If you or a loved one was harmed by a mental health professional, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. We are experienced eastern Tennessee psychologist lawyers who work hard to hold negligent professionals accountable.
