When Medical Care Goes Wrong,
We’re Here to Make It Right

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury, illness, or death. These cases are often complex and emotionally difficult, but our team has the legal knowledge and medical insight needed to pursue justice.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
  Failure to correctly or promptly diagnose can lead to serious, even fatal consequences.

• Surgical Errors
  Operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical tools inside the body, or performing the wrong procedure.

• Birth Injuries
  Mistakes during labor or delivery can result in lifelong conditions such as cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy.

• Medication Errors
  Incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or failure to check for dangerous drug interactions.

• Anesthesia Mistakes
  Anesthesia errors can lead to brain damage, coma, or death.

• Failure to Treat
  Ignoring symptoms or providing inadequate follow-up care can make a treatable condition worse.

• Hospital Negligence
  Unsafe conditions, understaffing, or poor hygiene that results in infection or injury.
