Medical Malpractice & Surgical Errors

If you have been injured or if a loved one has died as a result of negligence or malpractice by a hospital or doctor, you may be entitled to compensation for both financial as well as emotional damages. Our firm is experienced in handling these cases. We offer a free initial attorney consultation to discuss your medical negligence case.

Not all medical injuries or deaths are caused by malpractice. The practice of medicine is as much an art as it is a science, and it is possible to end up with a bad outcome even when the doctor or hospital does everything they are supposed to do. However, if your medical provider fails to order appropriate tests, fails to diagnose a serious illness, or otherwise fails to meet the required standard of care, your provider may have committed medical malpractice.

The following are examples of medical malpractice:

• Misdiagnosis of a stroke, heart attack, cancer or other disease
• Surgical error, such as leaving surgical equipment inside the patient
• Failure to provide appropriate follow-up care after surgery, leading to infection or other complications
• Birth injury such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s Palsy or hypoxia caused by a lack of fetal monitoring, delayed delivery, or other hospital or physician errors
