Medical professionals have the duty to provide professional and effective treatment that helps us recover from our ailments.  Medical malpractice is the failure of a health care provider, usually a doctor, hospital, nurse, or health care institution, to provide a patient with treatment that satisfies the accepted standard of care in the medical industry. The failure to measure up to the standard of care often results in injury to the patient.

 

We have experience with many different types of medical malpractice cases and represent clients in a number of medical malpractice cases, including cases involving:

• Failure to diagnose a medical condition
• Delayed or incorrect diagnosis
• Severe brain damage
• Prescription drug errors
• Anesthesia errors
