Common types of medical malpractice
Failure to Diagnose Cancer
When a doctor fails to recognize the signs of cancer, a patient loses critical time for treatment. A failure to diagnose attorney can investigate the case and pursue compensation for the progression of the disease and decreased chances of survival.
Surgical Instruments Left in Body
This is a clear act of negligence where a sponge, clamp, or other tool is left inside a patient after surgery, often requiring a second operation and causing severe infections. We hold the entire surgical team accountable.
Birth Asphyxia & Cerebral Palsy
These injuries often occur when a baby is deprived of oxygen during delivery due to a doctor's failure to monitor fetal distress or act quickly. An attorney can help families secure compensation for a lifetime of care.
Wrong-Site or Wrong-Patient Surgery
An unimaginable error where a surgeon operates on the wrong body part or even the wrong person. A wrong-site surgery attorney works to expose the breakdown in hospital protocols that allowed such a catastrophic mistake to happen.
Medication & Prescription Errors
These accidents include prescribing the wrong drug, administering an incorrect dose, or failing to check for dangerous interactions. These errors can cause severe reactions or death, and a lawyer can trace the mistake to the responsible party.
Emergency Room Errors
ERs are chaotic, but that doesn't excuse negligence like misdiagnosing a heart attack, failing to treat a stroke in time, or discharging a patient prematurely. An ER error attorney can prove that the care provided fell below the accepted medical standard.
Questions and Answers

{
"content": "First, prioritize your health and seek a second opinion from a different doctor to confirm your condition and treatment plan. Secure copies of all your medical records from the provider you suspect of negligence. Document everything, including your symptoms, treatments, and conversations. Avoid speaking with the provider’s insurance company and contact a medical malpractice lawyer to evaluate your situation.",

{
"content": "How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "A medical malpractice case generally requires three elements: 1) A healthcare provider violated the 'standard of care' (the accepted practices a reasonably skilled provider would use). 2) This negligence directly caused you harm or injury. 3) The injury resulted in specific damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An attorney can review your records to determine if these conditions are met.",

}
{
"content": "What types of compensation can I recover after medical malpractice?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "You can seek compensation for economic damages like all past and future medical expenses, lost income, and reduced earning capacity. You can also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, scarring or disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases of fatal malpractice, families may file a wrongful death claim.",

{
"content": "How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. It is typically between one and three years from the date of the injury or from the date you reasonably should have discovered the injury. These deadlines are very strict, and some states have special rules for minors or cases involving foreign objects left in the body. It is critical to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your right to file a claim.",

}
{
"content": "How long does it take to resolve a medical malpractice lawsuit?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "Medical malpractice cases are complex and can take a significant amount of time to resolve, often one to three years or more. The timeline depends on the complexity of the medical issues, the extent of the investigation, the need for expert witness testimony, and the willingness of the provider's insurance company to negotiate a fair settlement. While most cases settle out of court, preparing for a potential trial takes time.",
