What Counts as Medical Malpractice?
Not every bad outcome from medical treatment qualifies as malpractice. To pursue a claim, we must prove that a healthcare professional failed to meet the accepted standard of care. Here are common forms of medical malpractice cases we handle:
1. Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
A misdiagnosis can prevent patients from getting the correct treatment on time, leading to severe health complications. If your doctor failed to diagnose or delayed diagnosing a condition, you may be entitled to compensation.
2. Surgical Errors
Surgery comes with risks, but preventable mistakes—like operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the patient—are inexcusable. We’ll hold surgeons and hospitals accountable for these errors.
3. Birth Injuries
Medical mistakes during labor and delivery can cause long-term damage to both mother and child. If improper care led to injury during childbirth, we’ll fight to get you the compensation you need for recovery.
4. Medication Errors
Receiving the wrong medication or incorrect dosage can have serious consequences. If you’ve been harmed by a medication error, we’ll build a case to hold the responsible parties accountable.
5. Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
Our elderly loved ones deserve proper care. If neglect or abuse occurs in a nursing home, we’ll take swift legal action to protect their rights and pursue compensation.
