Medical Negligence

Medical negligence accounts for a staggering number of injuries and deaths in the United States each year. Medical negligence can be seen in a variety of forms, such as brain damage resulting from a failure to administer anesthesia properly, to surgical mishaps, to a failure to timely and properly diagnosis a condition (for information, click on one of these links). Regardless of the negligence involved, the results can be devastating and life-changing for the person involved and their loved ones.

When medical negligence occurs, doctors may blame the cause of the injury on some factor other than the medical negligence. Doctors have huge financial incentives to avoid paying for the damages they’ve caused; they also have professional reasons to try to keep their record clean. When medical negligence occurs, we seek to hold those accountable for the injuries sustained.
