Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
Our attorneys handle all forms of medical malpractice claims, including:
Birth Injury Cases
A person may bring a lawsuit for a birth injury claim when any harm results from a medical provider’s negligence or omission during labor and delivery. This can include damage caused by fetal oxygen deprivation, failure to order an emergency C-Section, use of force during delivery, inadequate monitoring, and failure to diagnose infections or dangerous medical conditions.
Cerebral Palsy
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. When cerebral palsy is caused by a health care professional’s negligence or failure to provide adequate care, they can be held liable for damages.
Surgical Errors
Surgical mistakes can cause unimaginable pain and suffering to a patient. Some of the most common surgical errors resulting in lawsuits are when a doctor operates on the wrong body part, performs unnecessary surgery, leaves a foreign object or piece of surgical equipment in the body, or when surgery results in an infection.
Wrongful Death
When a health care professional’s negligence causes the death of a loved one, you deserve compensation. If your loved one died unexpectedly under the care of a doctor or hospital, you need to contact a knowledgeable wrongful death lawyer.
