Areas of Practice.
Personal Injury
Personal injury claims are brought by victims who suffer physical or psychological injury directly due to another person’s negligence. We employ a practical, professional approach to ensure that our clients obtain a full and fair recovery for their injuries, including damages for their past and future medical bills, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. We use our extensive civil litigation experience, our knowledge about insurance company tactics, and our skills at settlement negotiation to obtain the best possible recovery for our clients.
Medical Malpractice
A special relationship exists between physicians and their patients. Physicians owe their patients a duty to provide a certain standard of care, using at least the level of skill, care, and diligence that is generally exercised by fellow practitioners in the medical professions. It is considered medical malpractice when a medical professional breaches that duty through negligence or carelessness and causes injury to a patient. Medical malpractice victims may recover compensation for their injuries, including for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost income. Physicians take an oath to “do no harm.” If mistakes are made during diagnosis, treatment, or follow-up care that causes injury to a patient, it may be considered medical malpractice.
obstetrical malpractice and Fetal monitoring
Medical errors during the labor and delivery process can result in serious, sometimes fatal, injuries to both mother and child. A child may suffer brain injuries if deprived of oxygen, or suffer from shoulder dystocia if not delivered properly. The mother can suffer serious harm if warning signs of trouble are ignored or if improperly treated.
anesthesia Errors
Mistakes made during procedures involving endotracheal intubation, epidural anesthesia, and local anesthesia may result in brain damage or other injuries, including paralysis, stroke, nerve damage, persistent vegetative state, or death.
Medication Errors
When a patient is prescribed the wrong medication or a pharmacy makes a medication error, adverse side effects can occur. Additionally, if a patient receives the wrong dosage of medication, too much or not enough, serious injuries can result or even death.
Strokes and heart Attacks
Strokes and heart attacks are the leading causes of death in the United States. Time is of the essence when it comes to treating these conditions. The failure of medical professionals to act or adequately diagnose a stroke or heart attack can have tragic results. Errors made during surgery can also lead to a stroke or heart attack and may be grounds for medical malpractice.
surgical errors
Operating on the wrong body part or even the wrong patient should never occur, but unfortunately, it does with often tragic results. Injuring a nerve during surgery, improper administration of anesthesia, or leaving a piece of surgical equipment inside the patient, may all lead to injury or death.
hospital negligence
Understaffing, inadequate training, failure to provide treatment in a reasonable time, lack of cleanliness, or inability to monitor or stabilize a patient’s condition contribute to adverse outcomes for patients.
Misdiagnosis
Failure to diagnose cancer at the earliest stages leads to delayed treatment and serious complications or even death.
Misread Diagnostic Tests
When x-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, PAP smears, and other diagnostic tests are either not prescribed, performed too late, or misinterpreted by physicians, conditions go undetected and untreated.
