We Help You File and Successfully Fight a Medical Malpractice Claim After a Medical Injury.

Are you a victim of medical malpractice?

We usually go to the doctor, hoping to get better. In this respect, we expect a certain standard of medical care from the health practitioner. But in some unfortunate cases, that visit could lead to additional problems you never expected. If you are lucky, the resulting issues are temporary, and you will get better after corrective treatment. Sadly, some problems may be too severe or take too long to manifest, thus making the damage irreversible.

Now, healthcare practitioners are not liable for all adverse effects on their patients. However, if a problem arises directly from a medical error, you may file a medical malpractice claim.

Michael Alan Siddons’ attorneys are well-versed in medical malpractice law and are ready to fight for damages for the harm incurred to the very end. Book a consultation with us, and we will be more than happy to evaluate your case at no cost!

What is Medical Malpractice Liability?

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare facility, doctor, or other healthcare administrator causes bodily harm to a patient through negligence or omission. So, the liable party neglects to provide or omits certain actions, leading to errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management.

To classify your case as medical malpractice, it must meet the following criteria:

Standard of Care Was Violated

There is a level of accepted standards that medical professionals are expected to adhere to as per the law, also known as the standard of care. So, as a patient, you have the right to demand it, and if a healthcare provider does not meet that, and their substandard care causes you harm, then you can sue. 

Injury Occurred as a Result of the Negligence

Violation of the standard of care, which is basically negligence, is not enough to build a formidable medical malpractice lawsuit. The medical negligence must have resulted in injury. Your lawyer must prove that you suffered an injury that would not have happened if not for the malpractice. If there is no provable injury, then you have no claim.

The Injuries Led to Significant Damages

Medical malpractice claims are usually costly to fight. And that is because it requires contributions and testimonies from various medical experts. So, if the damage was minor, the settlement you win may be much less than the cost of the litigation. So, we assess whether your malpractice accusation led to extreme pain, suffering, disability, disability, or costs.

So, what kind of medical malpractice cases do we deal with? Here are some of the most common examples:

  • Misdiagnosis or failure to make a diagnosis

  • Careless, incorrect, or unneeded surgery

  • Leaving surgical items inside the body after surgery

  • Severe infections from exposure in the hospital

  • Wrong drugs or dosage/failing to consider the patient’s allergies

  • Bed sores

  • Failure to follow up after treatment

  • Incorrect anesthesia administration

  • Birth injuries

  • Premature discharge
