MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAW

Infants

 

We understand that no settlement or jury verdict can compensate for an injury to an infant. However, we know that families dealing with the tragedy of a birth injury incur significant medical expenses and can face considerable long-term expenses related to their child's injury. Our firm is focused on helping to ensure families have the resources they need to care for their child.

 

We are able to work with obstetricians, accountants, and life care planners to help demonstrate the causes and impacts of a wide range of birth injuries.

 

Birth injuries can result from negligence that occurs during labor, after delivery, as well as during a pregnancy. We closely examine all medical records to determine whether or not there was any deviation from the customary standard of care.

 

Surgical errors

 

All surgeries carry a potential for surgical error. Serious injuries can result from both major and/or minor surgical procedures. We have pursued medical malpractice claims against hospitals, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other operating room personnel.

 

We work closely with our clients and leading medical experts in order to determine and establish medical malpractice cases as well as the short and long-term consequences of a variety of surgical errors.

 

We recognize that surgical errors can significantly impact individuals as well as the families who support them. The stress involved in additional surgeries, loss of function, disfigurement, and in the most tragic cases, wrongful death claims can be overwhelming. We work to minimize the anxiety associated with pursuing compensation for a doctor's or a hospital’s malpractice.

 

Failure to diagnose or actual mis-diagnose

 

When a doctor or hospital fails to perform necessary tests and diagnostic procedures or mis-diagnosis a health issue, the result can be tragic. A person who intrusts his/her health in the hands of a doctor should feel secure that all necessary tests and procedures to diagnose the ailment will be performed. The stakes are high when human life is at risk. Therefore, a physician does have an obligation to spend the time and utilize the resources available to make an accurate diagnosis.

 

We examine medical records for signs that a doctor's error resulted in the failure to diagnose an illness or disease. Working in conjunction with medical experts, we are able to successfully litigate or settle a wide range of medical malpractice cases.

 

The failure to properly diagnose and treat an illness can result in prolonged illness, needless surgeries, invasive medical treatment, and even wrongful death claims. Our firm works with a number of medical experts to validate mis-diagnosis claims and demonstrate there impact, which in turn maximizes our ability to recover monetary damages for our clients and their loved ones.
