When you or your loved one has been injured as a result of medical or hospital negligence, you face many challenges. In addition to serious medical injuries or even the death of a loved one, you are left with questions, pain, and fear, often while facing incredible costs for life-long care.

Many families do not have health insurance that will cover the medical bills for these injuries and the life-long care they require. If an injury was caused by a health care professional’s negligence, you should be compensated.

At a vulnerable time like this, having an experienced and compassionate personal injury lawyer by your side can make all the difference.

Medical malpractice injuries can include:

• Birth injuries, including cerebral palsy, shoulder dystocia and brain injury
• Failure to diagnose cancer
• Delayed or mistaken diagnosis
• Medication errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Mistakes during surgery
• Error during post-operative care

These types of malpractice can cause severe injuries and conditions, or even death.

If you or a family member is harmed by medical malpractice, your first priority is of course getting the medical testing and care needed. As much as possible, also keep a list or documentation of medical providers and dates.

Cohen, Feeley, Altemose & Rambo protects patients

Cases involving medical malpractice can be complex. Issues include whether the doctor or health care provider was negligent or “deviated from the standard of care,” whether this caused the injury, and whether the outcome would have been different had the provider provided the proper care and treatment.

Additionally, many different parties may be responsible, including:

• Primary care physician
• Obstetrician and Gynecologist
• Surgeon
• Urgent Care Center
• Specialist
• Hospital
• Nurse practitioner or Physician’s assistant
• Anesthesiologist
• Radiologist
• Physician’s practice group

When pursuing a case, we bring in experts in related fields of medicine, as well as experts to address medical responsibility, future prognosis, life care needs, and vocational and economic losses.

We fight hard to prove the liability of the defendants, using all our resources to prove the case and the extent of harm our clients and their families have suffered.
