Healthcare professionals must follow established standards of patient care. Medical negligence or “malpractice” occurs when a physician or healthcare provider causes injury or death – either by inaction or by acting outside the realm of what is normal and customary in a given situation.
While a simple mistake may not be enough to constitute medical negligence, a death or injury caused by the failure to provide reasonably appropriate or common standards of care or the failure to diagnose an easily detectable illness may constitute malpractice.
We aggressively investigate and pursue claims for catastrophic injuries and death arising from:
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
- Birth trauma
- Failure to diagnose cancer and other diseases
- Inappropriate or negligently performed surgery
- Disfigurement
- Inappropriate or dangerous treatment practices
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a medical malpractice, we want to know about it. You can either fill out our convenient online personal injury form to have your case reviewed, or you can call our office. You owe it to yourself to know your legal rights. Only YOU can make the first step; let us know about your injury!
