Common Forms of Medical Malpractice

• Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery can lead to severe complications, permanent injuries, or death. Surgical errors may involve operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside a patient, or administering incorrect anesthesia. We diligently work to investigate these errors and hold surgeons, anesthesiologists, and hospitals accountable for their negligence.
• C-Section Injuries: Cesarean deliveries, while often lifesaving, may result in serious injuries to both mother and baby if not performed correctly. Errors such as delayed decisions to perform a C-section or improper surgical techniques can lead to hemorrhaging, infections, or birth trauma. Our attorneys pursue claims to ensure families receive compensation for these preventable injuries.
• Cerebral Palsy: Cerebral palsy often results from medical negligence during labor and delivery, including oxygen deprivation or improper use of delivery instruments. We advocate for families facing the lifelong costs associated with cerebral palsy, securing funds for medical care, therapy, and other needs.
• Infant Stroke: Infant strokes may occur due to medical errors during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. Delayed responses to fetal distress, improper monitoring, or mismanagement of maternal health conditions can contribute to this condition. Our lawyers help families hold negligent providers accountable for the harm caused.
• Primary Care and Doctor Malpractice: Primary care physicians play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating illnesses. Failures to perform appropriate tests, prescribe the correct medication, or refer patients to specialists can result in worsening health conditions. We pursue claims against negligent doctors to ensure patients receive justice.
• Hospital Malpractice: Hospitals have a duty to maintain safe environments, hire competent staff, and provide adequate training. When systemic failures or individual negligence lead to harm, we hold these facilities accountable.
• Misdiagnosis: A misdiagnosis can delay critical treatment or lead to unnecessary procedures, significantly harming patients. Whether involving cancer, heart conditions, or other illnesses, our attorneys fight for victims affected by diagnostic errors.
• Delayed Diagnosis: Delays in diagnosing serious medical conditions can reduce treatment effectiveness and lead to preventable complications. We ensure that healthcare providers who fail to recognize symptoms or act promptly are held responsible for their negligence.
