Protect Your Rights To Sufficient Compensation In Medical Malpractice Cases

Healthcare providers must provide proper healthcare to their patients. Many patients place a tremendous amount of trust in their healthcare providers to treat them with care, consideration, and capability.

At Blackburn Lawyers, we understand the legal implications arising out of medical malpractice and our malpractice lawyers can help advise you on the best way to proceed after a medical error has harmed you or your loved ones. We strongly encourage you to retain a medical malpractice lawyer so that you are well-positioned to deal with your malpractice suit.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s negligence or error causes harm to a patient. Malpractice suits can be brought against individual doctors, hospitals, nurses or other healthcare providers who may have failed to provide competent care.

Common cases of malpractice include but are not limited to:

  • Surgical mistakes and errors
  • Medication errors in dosage or type
  • Chiropractic errors resulting in injury
  • Improper anesthesia use
  • Inadequate monitoring of patient’s symptoms
  • Incorrect diagnoses
  • Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy

The following are losses recognized by the courts deserving monetary compensation:

  • Additional medical bills
  • Care costs
  • Death of a loved one
  • Physical pain
  • Lost ability to work
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Significant mental anguish

When Should You Pursue a Medical Malpractice Suit?

While many healthcare providers demonstrate reasonable care, there are some unforeseen situations where a health professional may make errors or mistakes. In a situation like this, you may have a medical malpractice claim.

Keep in mind that hospitals and medical professionals have massive resources made available to them when defending malpractice suits.
