Medical Malpractice

We help clients determine whether they have a medical malpractice claim. If they do, we map out the case carefully, with precision.

When a health care provider is negligent and someone is injured or dies because of it, that is medical malpractice. Physicians, pharmacists, nurses, midwives, and other health care professionals can make medical errors that constitute malpractice. Institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes can also be held responsible for medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice claims can come from a health care provider failing to follow standard procedures or properly diagnose a medical condition, such as providing a delayed cancer diagnosis. Health care professionals can be liable for medical errors that cause injury or death in childbirth. A wrongful death case results when a lawsuit alleges that negligence led to the death of a loved one.

You may be able to file a medical malpractice claim if your situation involves any of the following, for example:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Debilitating emotional stress
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of pension
