Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the standard of care in the treatment of a patient, leading to injury or death. It can arise from errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. As experienced medical malpractice lawyers, our role is to demonstrate how these deviations directly caused harm to the patient.

Surgical Errors
Surgical mistakes are among the most common forms of medical malpractice. These can include wrong-site surgery, nerve damage, or leaving a foreign object inside the patient’s body. Our medical injury lawyers are skilled in handling cases involving surgical errors, ensuring that those affected receive rightful compensation. Our team obtained a $10 million dollar settlement for a client who suffered surgical complications during heart surgery, resulting in paralysis.

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis:
Failing to diagnose or a delay in diagnosis can lead to a lack of necessary medical treatment that results in worsening health or even death. Our attorneys are experienced in proving fault in cases of misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, highlighting how these errors breach the standard of care expected in the medical profession. Our team received a $6 million dollar settlement for a client who suffered medical malpractice due to failure to timely diagnose postoperative hemorrhage following hysterectomy resulting in cardiopulmonary arrest and anoxic encephalopathy.

Birth Injuries
 Birth injuries can result from medical negligence during childbirth and can lead to lifelong disabilities such as cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy. Our medical negligence lawyers specialize in birth injury cases, fighting for the compensation that families need to cover lifelong medical expenses, care, and more.

Medication Errors
 If a healthcare provider prescribes the wrong medication or dosage, the consequences can be severe or even fatal. Our team handles cases involving medication errors, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable.

Failure to Treat
 When a doctor correctly makes a diagnosis but fails to recommend or administer appropriate treatment, it can be classified as malpractice. Our medical malpractice lawyers are adept at demonstrating how a failure to treat appropriately has harmed the patient.
