Protecting People Harmed By Negligent Pediatricians

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. At the Olson Law Firm, LLC, we can help ensure accountability through pediatric malpractice litigation.

We provide comprehensive legal representation for the families of children who are harmed by a pediatrician's errors. Since we devote our entire legal practice to medical malpractice matters, we have the knowledge and experience needed to properly handle these complex legal claims. Contact our offices today to schedule a confidential consultation with Attorney Erik Olson.

As with any other medical practitioner, a pediatrician can make a wide range of mistakes when providing treatment and care. However, certain issues seem to arise with greater frequency among pediatricians, causing serious harm or even death. This includes:

• Failure to diagnose pneumonia
• Failure to diagnose infection
• Misdiagnosis of meningitis
• Misdiagnosis of appendicitis
• Medication errors

Whatever the particular nature of your pediatric malpractice claim, we can effectively represent you and protect your interests.

Working With Medical Experts To Develop Strong Cases

A strong pediatric malpractice case requires a lawyer who can explain the story behind the case — including the mistakes, the injuries and the full consequences. Medical testimony by expert witnesses is one critical component of this story. When a medical malpractice case goes to trial, expert witnesses must be able to translate complex medical subjects into language that is readily understood. This is not an easy task for most doctors.

As an experienced medical malpractice lawyer, attorney Erik Olson has access to a network of knowledgeable experts who are able to effectively explain complicated medical issues to judges and juries. Our medical experts are all board-certified specialists in their respective fields, allowing them to testify with authority.

If your child has been injured or killed as the result of a pediatrician's errors, you should not have to face the consequences alone. To discuss your legal claims with an experienced pediatric malpractice lawyer, contact our office through email or call us at 404-897-1014.
