Practice Area

Our office handles medical malpractice claims of any kind, including claims against doctors, hospitals, health care providers, physicians and chiropractors.

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider fails to follow accepted medical practices. If a physician was careless, lacked proper skills, or fell below the standard of care, and a patient was injured, then the health care provider is liable for any damages caused.

Hospitals can also be held liable for the negligence of their employees, including staff nurses and technicians.

Examples of medical malpractice include:

• Failing to diagnose a condition in time to treat it properly,
• Failing to perform surgery within the standard of care,
• Failing to order necessary and appropriate medical tests,
• Failing to refer a case to a medical specialist,
• Prescribing incorrect medication or incorrect doses,
• Delay in diagnosing cancer,
• Incorrect diagnosis resulting in a failure to treat a medical condition,
• Failing to properly administer anesthesia, and
• Emergency room negligence.
