About Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can range from misdiagnosis to operating on the wrong limb or organ. If you or a loved one has been hurt or even killed due to another party's action, we can pursue rightful compensation so you can concentrate on healing.
Birth Injuries
Birth injuries often result in permanent injury to the child, as well as tremendous pain and suffering for the family. Caused by a wide number of factors, including obstruction during the birthing process or hypoxia, birth injuries are in nearly all cases preventable.
Shoulder Dystocia
Caused by undue pressure on the brachial plexus, which is a collection of nerves running through the neck and shoulders into the arms, shoulder dystocia can lead to a number of different physical conditions. This includes Erb's palsy, a partial or complete paralysis of one of the upper limbs.
Defective Medical Devices
As with consumer products, commercial medical devices must be safe for use and free of defects. If a medical device breaks or fails to operate as intended due to a design defect, manufacturing defect, or marketing defect, it might be grounds for a product liability lawsuit.
Failure to Diagnose
If a doctor fails to diagnose a condition or makes an incorrect diagnosis of an ailment, it may indicate medical malpractice. In such cases, it must be shown that the defendant failed to uphold a reasonable and accepted standard of care. In order to do this, we will consult expert witnesses.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is an incurable neuromuscular disorder that results in stiff or weak muscles, lack of coordination, seizures or trembles, and more. If a child is not delivered quickly or the umbilical cord becomes tangled or compressed, it can affect oxygen flow to the brain, causing brain damage.
