Providing Thorough Legal Representation

You deserve a just result when injured by nursing, doctor, or hospital malpractice. Our firm handles cases involving:

• Surgical error: Doctors will not always disclose what happened during a surgery. We will examine the medical records to determine what happened in the operating room.
• Medication error: Most medication errors occur when a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist is not paying adequate attention to detail.
• Nursing Negligence: Including failure to monitor vital signs, dispense medication correctly, respond to patient distress calls, maintain clean, sterile environment, or properly prepare a patient for surgery.
• Cancer Misdiagnosis: When doctors or radiologists fail to identify cancer on CAT scans, MRIs, x-rays, colonoscopies, upper GIs, and other imagining and diagnostic tests, the treatment options for a patient may become significantly limited or disappear altogether.
• Procedural Complications: Involving infections, organ failure, and other complications associated with invasive surgical procedures.
• Labor/delivery error: Birth injuries such as asphyxia, hypoxia, and death are sometimes caused by medical negligence. If a medical error occurs, it is usually a result of a failure to properly monitor the mother and baby.
• Birth Brain Injuries: Newborns have incredibly fragile skulls, leaving them susceptible to brain injuries when medical equipment is used improperly.
• Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy: When a baby does not receive adequate oxygen, the child can suffer permanent, life-altering injuries. Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a medical condition that develops when a fetus or newborn receives an inadequate supply of oxygen resulting in damage to brain and spinal cord cells.
• Cerebral Palsy: A serious brain injury at birth can have life-altering consequences. Among other things, a brain injury can cause cerebral palsy, a neurological condition involving decreased neuromuscular and cognitive abilities.
• Neonatal Malpractice: Newborns are incredibly fragile, relying entirely upon the care and support of others to ensure their safety and well-being. When neonatologists make mistakes, the consequences may affect the child for the rest of their life.
• Pediatric Malpractice: When a pediatrician misses obvious signs of illness, pursues the wrong course of treatment, or ignores matters that warrant further investigation, they must be held accountable for the injuries they cause.
• Injuries to the Mother: When a doctor isn't sufficiently monitoring a mother during delivery, she may suffer serious injuries or even death.
• Failure to Diagnose: A careless medical professional may miss the warning signs of a serious illness. Many illnesses can be prevented or lessened if caught early.
• Brain Injury: The consequences of a brain injury may last a lifetime. When these injuries develop as a result of medical negligence, we work to ensure that injured people receive full and fair compensation for their devastating injuries.
• Spinal Cord Injury: A spinal cord injury can permanently affect all aspects of a person's life. We work with vocational rehabilitation experts, life-care planners, neuropsychologists, and economists to evaluate the full economic impact of such an injury.
• Wrongful Death: The unanticipated death of a loved one by the careless hands of another can be devastating. We provide caring, compassionate counsel in wrongful death cases.

We represent patients and their family members who have suffered permanent injury or death caused by doctor error, nursing malpractice or hospital malpractice. Contact us today to set up a consultation with a knowledgeable medical malpractice attorney.
