| Birth Injuries | | The birth of a baby is a delicate event requiring the experience of a medical professional. When medical errors occur during pregnancy or childbirth, long-term injuries or even death can result. |  | | Breast Cancer | | Surviving breast cancer is highly dependent on obtaining timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A delay in diagnosis, or misdiagnosis of breast cancer can cause the disease to progress at a perilous rate. | | | Cancer | | The earlier cancer is detected, the more likely a cancer patient is to survive through several treatment options. A delay in diagnosis or mistreatment of prostate, colon or cancer could result in uncontrollable progression of the disease and be grounds for medical malpractice. | | | Catastrophic Injury | | Catastrophic injuries are usually permanent, serious and life-altering injuries including brain injury, spinal injury, loss of limbs, severe burns, neurological disorders and others. Whether medical malpractice is a factor in causing these injuries or errors of treatment have occurred, a catastrophic injury claims attorney may be able to help. | | | Cerebral Palsy | | | Emergency Medicine | | Emergency rooms are chronically understaffed and overworked in American hospitals. Under difficult conditions, medical errors can sometimes occur. | | | Gentamicin | | Gentamicin is a once-common prescription medication with substantial possible side effects. Gentamicin poisoning causes damage to the inner ear, impairing the sense of balance and causing "bouncing" vision. While the side effects are now well known, Gentamicin continues to be prescribed on occasion. | | | Medical Malpractice | | Errors in diagnosis, treatment, or in managing a disease can have unintended, disastrous effects. Medical negligence can occur in a hospital, clinic, and hospice and involve medical professionals at any level. | | | Medicine and Anesthesia | | With more and more prescription medication available, physicians and anesthesiologists must be vigilant in maintaining current knowledge about side effects, prescribing medications in correct doses that don’t interact with other medications or negatively affect other conditions. | | | Paralysis | | Paralysis is a life changing condition that is usually irreversible. Paralysis can occur as a result of surgery near the spinal cord. When a physician fails to explain the risks of surgery, makes an error in surgery, is not adequately trained or experienced, or does not explain all alternative options to a patient, they may have acted with medical negligence. | | | Personal Injury | | Suffering a sudden injury from a car accident or other accident can cause you to seek medical attention. When medical mistakes happen, injuries can be prolonged or worsened. | | | Pulmonary Embolism | | Pulmonary Embolism is a common under-diagnosed condition that causes thrombosis (blood clots) to form in the body. When the classic signs of pulmonary embolism are missed in a medical context, the consequences can be sudden and lethal. | | | Spinal Cord Injury | | Spinal cord injuries are a debilitating form of trauma that affects the central nervous system. The effects from these injuries range from poor coordination to paralysis. When a spinal cord injury is mishandled, results can be devastating. | | | Strokes and Heart Attacks | | Some of the leading causes of death are strokes and heart attacks. When symptoms of future heart attacks and strokes are overlooked, or the condition is mistreated, medical malpractice may be to blame. | | | Wrongful Death | | One of the most painful ordeals is the death of a loved one. When the death could have been prevented or was due to negligence on the part of a physician, a wrongful death claim may provide legal recourse and financial compensation. | |
