Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice and hospital negligence can present complex issues in trial, litigation, and pre-suit litigation. The Law Offices of Herssein and Herssein are here to help.
In many medical malpractice cases, some damages you may be entitled to are medical expenses, lost income, loss of enjoyment, pain and suffering, and emotional damages. In the case of death by medical malpractice, a loved one can collect damages for medical and funeral expenses, emotional anguish, lost earnings, and even loss of consortium (companionship).
Some of the major accidents in medical malpractice that we deal with include, but are not limited to, are:
- Anesthesia malpractice that results in brain damage or death.
- Surgical errors such as wrong limb removal, cutting nerves or arteries, and/or sterilization.
- Improper setting of bones that may result in deformity and/or limited use.
- Missed diagnosis of cancer or other serious or fatal conditions.
- Misdiagnosis of cancer that leads to unnecessary and/or often harmful treatment.
- Post-surgical infection that comes from improper procedure.
- Dental errors that result in disfigurement, jaw damage, or loss of teeth.
- Birth defects or death resulting from delayed C-section surgery, improper delivery technique, or failure to monitor the fetus.
- Negligent treatment by home health employees.
- Negligently performed cosmetic or plastic surgery.
It is very important to contact a lawyer quickly after a medical accident because there is usually only a two-year window to file suit in most medical malpractice cases. If you are unsure whether you need a lawyer, it is a good idea to call the Law Offices of Herssein and Herssein to get a free analysis of your case. Also, in order to file a medical malpractice claim, you need a licensed physician from the same field of medicine to testify that the medical treatment fell below the accepted standard of care.
