X-Ray Misdiagnosis

This is a type of diagnostic tool used to identify health problems. If one is read incorrectly or taken improperly, a serious medical condition may go unnoticed and necessary treatment may not be performed. If you've suffered from a medical condition because of a physician's or a technician's mistake, you need to speak to a lawyer who has experience with lawsuits. We can assist you with your suit.

Birth Injury

These injuries can occur immediately before, during or immediately following childbirth. Some occur when the baby's flow of oxygen is blocked during birth. Some of the types of these injuries include Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy, brain damage and shoulder dystocia. Due to the emotional and financial hardships caused by these injuries, the law seeks to protect victims, particularly if these result in child death. These types of lawyers can help you when your child has sustained a traumatic injury. Our firm has dealt with numerous lawsuits. Speak to a lawyer who cares about your needs and understands your concerns.

Blood Transfusions

When treating patients who have lost substantial amounts of blood or who have blood-related illnesses, physicians must take active measures to ensure that these procedures are performed safely and correctly. Donated blood must be screened for disease and matched with the recipient's blood type. There have unfortunately been cases in which a patient has contracted diseases from bad procedures. In some instances, patients have contracted AIDS because of transfusions. Individuals who have contracted illnesses or have suffered because of this have grounds to file lawsuits. We can help you receive the settlement to which you are entitled.

Cancer Misdiagnosis

This is one of the most widespread and lethal diseases; but if diagnosed early, a patient has a better chance at successful treatment and survival. Unfortunately, there have been cases in which physicians have misread test results or misdiagnosed a tumor or lump as benign when in reality it was malignant. The misdiagnosis delays proper treatment and potentially worsens the patient's condition. We have experience with misdiagnosis litigation and other lawsuits.

Emergency Room Negligence

In an ER, a patient's life hangs in the balance. The timely and responsible actions of the staff are crucial to the survival of a patient. Even with the frantic pace, negligence and mistakes cannot be tolerated since these can lead to serious injury, permanent disability and even death. We have lawyers with experience in handling these cases as well as other lawsuits.

Failure to Diagnose/Treat

A serious health problem cannot be treated until it has first been properly diagnosed. Unfortunately, some potentially threatening health conditions may not be diagnosed in time for proper medical treatment. Situations in which a physician fails to diagnose a medical condition are grounds for lawsuits. We will fight for your rights and help you receive the settlement you deserve.

Hospital Negligence

Mistakes or negligence on the part of hospital staff can lead to potentially life threatening situations. For example, a physician or nurse may fail to obtain a patient's medical history or administer necessary care. Other hospital personnel may expose patients to hazardous materials or improperly sanitize medical equipment. Even if an individual worker was negligent, the entire hospital may bear liability for the employee's wrongdoing. If you require representation for this type of lawsuit or other lawsuits, we can help you collect the compensation to which you are entitled.

Medication Errors

These errors can occur in a number of ways. A pharmacist may accidentally administer another drug other than the one prescribed, physicians may prescribe these in improper doses, physicians may prescribe potentially harmful combinations of drugs, a patient may be allergic to the drug prescribed, or medications may be switched between patients. Any of these can lead to a variety of serious health problems or even result in death. If you or someone you love has been harmed by this and would like to speak to a lawyer with a proven record of successfully handling lawsuits, contact us today.

Surgical Injuries

A number of risks are inherently associated with any surgical procedure, but injuries due to negligent and irresponsible surgical mistakes are inexcusable. These cases can result from situations in which a surgeon performs the surgery incorrectly, uses improper equipment, operates on the wrong side or part of the body, fails to address a patient's medical history prior to surgery, or accidentally leaves medical instruments inside a patient. Such instances of these injuries are grounds for lawsuits. We will fight your rights in and out of the courtroom. We are dedicated to helping you attain the settlement you deserve.
