Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Injures or Kills Thousands Every Year 

construction and workplace injuries
Doctors, nurses, laboratory staff, and hospital administrators are highly educated and trained professionals. Hospitals, laboratories, dialysis clinics, chemotherapy clinics, and rehabilitation facilities are highly structured and regulated. The health care professionals who staff them are also our heroes, saving and caring for us in our time of greatest need. But they’re human like the rest of us. And, as in any other profession, some will do their job negligently, and sometimes that negligence will cause serious injury or death. We’ve handled hundreds of cases involving medical negligence, commonly called “medical malpractice,” including: 
  • Medication errors causing death
  • Failure to timely treat dangerously high blood pressure resulting in stroke and paralysis
  • Improper administration of intravenous antibiotics resulting in severe brain damage
  • Failure to diagnose heart attack resulting in death
  • Failure to diagnose unstable angina (lack of blood flow to the heart) resulting in death
  • Failure to timely diagnose breast, colon, or abdominal cancer resulting in death
  • Improper management of labor resulting in brain damage to newborn
  • Failure to timely treat complications after back surgery resulting in paralysis
  • Improper management of delivery resulting in Erb’s Palsy (paralysis of the arm)
  • Failure to properly monitor blood flow during surgery resulting in blindness
  • Improper placement of endotracheal tube resulting in stomach rupture
  • Failure to timely recognize and treat infection resulting in permanent foot damage
  • Failure to provide proper post-operative care resulting in amputation of toes
