| I have suffered injury as a result of substandard care from a hospital or health care professional. |

| Medical malpractice, or medical negligence, occurs when a physician or other health care professionals (including chiropractors, therapists, nurses, psychologists, dentists and hospitals) fail to properly treat a medical condition and as a result cause a new or aggravated injury to the patient. |
| |
| Negligence in medical malpractice cases can occur in a variety of situations including but not limited to: |
| - | A delay or failure in diagnosing a disease or condition |
| - | A surgical or anesthesia related mishap during an operative procedure |
| - | The physician's failure to gain the informed consent of the patient for an operation or surgical procedure |
| - | Failing to properly treat the disease process |
| - | Misuse of Prescription Drugs or a Medical Device or Implant |
|
| |
| Medical negligence cases are by their very nature complex, expensive to pursue, have a high risk of no recovery, and often involve a client's "personal" attachment. |
| |
| Medical negligence cases are aggressively defended by doctors and hospitals. It is very important that the merit of a possible malpractice claim be assessed early and before instituting a lawsuit. This will in most cases require that an independent medical expert opinion be obtained right away. We are selective about the medical malpractice cases we take on due to the significant commitment in time and money required. |
| |
| Nonetheless, if you feel you may have a possible medical negligence claim we will be happy to discuss the matter with you. |
