Legal Advocacy for Victims of Medical Negligence
Medical errors are widely cited as one of the leading causes of death in the United States — researchers disagree sharply on the exact toll, since medical error isn't tracked as an official cause of death, but even conservative estimates put it in the tens of thousands of lives each year.
Medical malpractice incidents often go unreported, and when they are reported, they can be difficult to prove without an experienced attorney. If you believe you were injured by the negligent, reckless, or careless actions of a medical professional, it's worth a conversation with our office.
Common Examples of Medical Malpractice
- Failing to make an accurate or timely diagnosis
- Prescribing the wrong type or dose of medication
- Errors in the administration of anesthesia
- Excessive force during delivery, causing birth injury
- Surgery performed on the wrong site or side of the body
- Failing to recognize or treat a serious heart condition
What You'll Need to Prove
A malpractice claim requires more than an unfavorable outcome. You'll need to establish that:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed
- Your doctor failed to uphold their duty of care
- That failure caused your injury
- The injury resulted in significant, demonstrable damages
If you were injured by your doctor's negligence — or your child suffered a serious birth injury — you need an aggressive advocate on your side right away.
