We can help you get the results you need.
Our Medical Negligence Practice
We handle a wide range of medical malpractice claims, including cases involving:
- Birth injuries. We represent parents who have children born with cerebral palsy. We also handle cases involving injuries caused by the use of forceps during delivery, dystocia or neck/back injury occurring when the child is brought through the birth canal, or asphyxiation resulting from an umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's neck. We have also worked on cases where a child was misdiagnosed with diabetes when the actual malady was cerebral palsy.
- Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis. We handle cases involving the failure to diagnose cancer, such as breast, lung and ovarian cancer, as well as gestational diabetes.
- Head or other injuries suffered while under medical care. If you fall out of bed or suffer a head injury in the shower or tub due to the negligence of the hospital staff taking care of you we can help you recover.
- Surgical errors. We handle cases involving medical professionals who performed the wrong procedure or performed the right procedure on the wrong limb or body part.
When you bring your medical malpractice claim to us, we will have your case and your medical records viewed by a team of doctors, who will help us determine if there was medical negligence involved. We will provide you with an honest assessment of the strength of your case, as well as your likelihood of success.
Fees
We handle all medical malpractice claims on a contingent fee basis. We will only charge attorney fees if we recover compensation for your losses.
