Patients trust that doctors will make the correct decisions when diagnosing or treating their illnesses and injuries. If a doctor fails to make the right decision, the patient is directly and profoundly affected. The fallout could range from further illness to death.
When these mistakes occur, individuals and their loved ones have legal options for holding medical professionals accountable.
Uncovering Answers And Holding Responsible Parties Accountable
At Maduforo & Osimiri Law Office PLLC, our lawyers work with individuals who have suffered because of medical malpractice or negligence on the part of medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, specialists, family practitioners and medical staff. We get the answers patients and their families need regarding what went wrong and what will be done to hold responsible parties accountable.
Medical malpractice can take the form of several types of poor decisions or negligence by medical professionals, including:
- Failure to diagnose, including failure to diagnose cancer and other fatal diseases
- Misinterpretation of tests, X-rays or other indicators
- Surgical errors
- Prescription errors, as well as dosage errors by nurses or other attending professionals
- Bedsores, infection or other signs of neglect by nurses or staff
- Failure to monitor patients and their vital signs
Any mistake or negligence by a doctor, nurse or staff member can result in devastating and long-term issues for a patient.
Our attorneys will partner with medical professionals to thoroughly investigate your condition, how it was treated, and the decisions made by doctors, nurses and staff members along the way. If any mistakes occurred or you suffered due to an error, we will identify it and compile the evidence, records and documentation needed to prove medical malpractice.
These cases can be difficult, and many hospitals have a legal staff devoted to avoiding liability and paying out on complaints. Our lawyers pay attention to detail and will build a solid case against responsible parties. We are prepared to litigate, if necessary, to protect your rights and recover maximum damages for the pain and suffering you have endured because of negligence.
