Medical Malpractice

A medical malpractice case is based on injuries that result from negligent care or treatment rendered by a medical provider. Medical providers include physicians, nurses, hospitals, psychologists, x-ray technicians, and a variety of other medical professionals.

Medical malpractice cases may be based on a great variety of misadventures, including:

• Dispensing the wrong medicine or the wrong dose of medicine.
• Improperly reading x-rays.
• Transfusing incorrectly.
• Misdiagnosing a life-threatening condition.
• Performing surgery on the wrong limb.
• Failing to properly treat infections related to treatment.

The failures of healthcare providers result in a variety of injuries, including:

• Birth trauma-related cerebral palsy.
• Paraplegia and quadriplegia.
• Burns.
• Brain injuries.

If you believe you’ve been the victim of a medical mistake, you should contact an attorney with experience in medical malpractice to evaluate and handle your case as quickly as possible. There are complicated and stringent statutes of limitations for medical malpractice cases that limit the amount of time an injured individual has to file a lawsuit.
