Medical Malpractice

Not all bad results from medical treatments are worth pursuing a medical malpractice claim. The expense of investigation and expert witnesses are important considerations in determining whether the negligent action deserves legal pursuit.

However, there are mistakes made every day by doctors, hospitals, nurses and pharmacists, which are medical malpractice and are deserving of pursing against the negligent wrongdoer.

If you are a victim of medical malpractice you are entitled to seek monetary damages for serious illness or injury resulting from negligent medical treatment . Because every case is different, we cannot go into an in depth discussion on our web page.

Definition of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other health care provider fails to provide to a trusting patient that degree of care that a reasonable and competent doctor (or other health care provider) would provide under the same or similar circumstances, and the failure to provide such care results in a significant injury or permanent harmful condition to the patient.

Common Areas of Medical Malpractice

Failure to diagnose or treat a condition (e.g. heart attack, Breast cancer, Colon Cancer, Prostate Cancer, infection, fractured bones, etc.)
Failure to timely diagnose or treat a condition (e.g. heart attack, Breast cancer, Colon Cancer, Prostate Cancer, infection, fractured bones, etc.)
Failure to inform a patient of the risks of a condition or treatment, such as surgery.
Injuring a patient during a procedure or treatment such as your baby during childbirth or cutting a nerve, blood vessel or other organ during surgery.
Failure to refer the patient to a specialist (orthopedic, neurologist, cardiologist, etc.)
Failure of the doctor to follow up on an abnormal test.
Discharge from a hospital or emergency room before the patient should have been, and as a result, the patient's condition or injury worsened.

Have you , or a member of your family, suffered a severe or permanent injury while under the care of a doctor, hospital or other health care provider?
If you believe so, was the damage or injury suffered more severe or devastating than would be expected from the original diagnosis or trauma?
Has it come to your attention, perhaps through another doctor or health care provider that the treatment you received was inappropriate, or that the outcome was unusual?
Do you have strong doubts about the competency of the doctor who provided the medical care or the appropriateness of the care you received?
Have you been kept in the dark about your medical situation?
Has your insurance company questioned the appropriateness of specific procedures, tests or diagnoses that you have received from the medical care provider?
Do you have concerns that a medical device may have seriously affected your health in a harmful way?
Do you think there was a delay in your (or a loved one's) diagnosis that has caused you to suffer a more serious condition than you would have had it been recognized sooner?
Do you think there was a delay in your (or a loved one's) diagnosis that has caused you to suffer a lost opportunity to get life saving treatment?
