Have You Been Harmed by Medical Negligence?
When trusted medical professionals make mistakes, the consequences can be devastating. At Dermer Law, we fight for victims of medical malpractice to secure the justice and compensation they deserve.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence leads to injury, illness, or even death. These cases can arise from misdiagnoses, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or a failure to provide appropriate care. Victims often face overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial challenges. At Dermer Law, we understand the personal and life-changing nature of these cases. Our dedicated team of personal injury lawyers will work tirelessly to hold negligent medical professionals accountable and help you regain control of your life.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical malpractice can take many forms. Here are some of the most common types of cases we handle:
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
When doctors fail to diagnose a condition correctly or in a timely manner, patients can suffer from worsened health outcomes. These errors can lead to delayed treatment, unnecessary procedures, or preventable complications.
Surgical Errors
Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or administering incorrect anesthesia, can cause severe harm and lasting effects.
Medication Errors
Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to check for drug interactions can lead to serious side effects, worsening conditions, or even fatal consequences.
Dangerous Conditions
Hazards like exposed wiring, unstable structures, or debris on walkways can pose significant risks to visitors, especially when they are not properly addressed or marked.
Birth Injuries
Negligence during prenatal care or delivery can result in injuries to both the baby and the mother, such as cerebral palsy, nerve damage, or other life-altering conditions.
Failure to Treat
If a healthcare provider fails to develop or follow a proper treatment plan, patients may suffer from preventable complications or worsening conditions.
Proving Negligence in Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical malpractice cases require demonstrating that a healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected in their profession. This can involve complex medical and legal issues. At Dermer Law, we work with medical experts to establish negligence and build a strong case on your behalf.
Duty of Care
The provider must have had a duty to provide care to the patient.
Breach of Duty
The provider’s negligence must be directly linked to the injury or harm suffered by the patient.
Causation
The breach of duty directly caused the victim’s injury.
Damages
The patient must have suffered quantifiable damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
