There are many types of medical errors that may be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Many medical negligence cases involve birth injuries. Negligence on the part of hospital staff during childbirth can result in conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Erb's Palsy, and Brachial Plexus Palsy. Failure to diagnose a serious disease, such as cancer, can also be grounds for a medical malpractice claim. Medication errors, surgical errors, and anesthesia errors are additional forms of medical negligence that can lead to serious injuries for patients.

Medical malpractice cases can be complex, often requiring the testimony of expert witnesses and a thorough examination of relevant medical records and other types of evidence.

If it is determined that a medical professional was negligent in their care of you or a loved one, we will make sure the jury and insurance company fully understand how your injuries will impact your life.
