Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice occurs when a health care provider fails to act reasonably based upon what would have been expected from similar health care providers under the same circumstances. Some examples of malpractice include failing to timely diagnose a serious condition, improperly performing surgery, failing to properly monitor a patient's condition, prescribing or giving the wrong or incorrect amount of medication, and either failing to or incorrectly interpreting the results of diagnostic tests. Medical malpractice is a highly complex area of the law. Malpractice attorneys must have legal expertise combined with a great deal of medical knowledge.Unlike most firms, we offer our clients the services of highly qualified, experienced attorneys that are very familiar with critical medical issues. This is the most important distinction that you can make in selecting a law firm to represent you in a medical malpractice case.
Medical negligence cases are also complicated by the lack of documents.
Medical records can be destroyed,
changed or "misplaced." It is absolutely essential to obtain all relevant medical records before anyone has a chance to alter or destroy them, if possible.
Another challenging and complicating factor in a medical malpractice suit is that the defendants in a medical malpractice cases are usually doctors or other health-care professionals who are experts in their field.
Defendant doctors are often in a superior position to explain what happened to the patient, who may be under the effects of medications or anesthesia. In some states, hospitals may be sued directly.
In other states, hospitals are protected as charitable institutions or have the protection from the State as a state-run facility. Special laws may come into play in such situations, requiring particular vigilance. etc.
Every day in this country, doctors, hospitals and other health care professionals commit medical negligence resulting in traumatic injury.
A unique aspect of medical malpractice is that the victim often has no idea that it has occurred. As an example, when we review past medical records of individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer, we frequently find that there were signs and symptoms, and sometimes even x-ray findings or other diagnostic studies, that should have lead to the diagnosis of cancer at a much earlier date when it could have been more successfully treated. If you or a loved one suffers an unexpected, serious complication or an unexpected diagnosis is made while under medical care, please give us a call.We would be more than happy to provide you with our opinion as to whether or not an investigation of your treatment should be conducted.

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos.[1] In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) or the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart).
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibre in other ways, such as by washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos, or by home renovation using asbestos cement products. Unlike lung cancer, there is no association between mesothelioma and smoking [2]. In an effort to raise awareness of this form of cancer, the Meso Foundation has declared September 26th National Meso Awareness Day.
