Medical Negligence

Medical negligence (or “medical malpractice”) means a health care provider injured a patient by failing to provide competent medical care.

Medical negligence claims can arise from

• medical procedure acts such as injecting the wrong medication
• omissions like  failing to watch a patient after surgery, or
• mistakes such as failure to diagnose colon cancer.

Sometimes, the negligence is by a doctor the patient had very little contact with or didn’t even know was involved with the case, like an anesthesiologist or radiologist.

The lawyers in our firm have represented clients of all ages; from the parents of a newborn suffering from a birth injury, to a six-year-old killed in an accident, to an elderly person who was the victim of negligent nursing staff.

In some cases  we  not only achieved successful financial results for our clients, we’ve also brought about positive safety changes in the medical profession.
