Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s negligence results in harm to a patient. This negligence can take many forms, including errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. To qualify as medical malpractice, the following must typically be proven:
Violation of Standard of Care The healthcare provider did not deliver care consistent with accepted medical practices.
Negligence Caused Injury The patient suffered harm directly due to the provider’s actions or inactions.
Significant Damages Resulted The injury led to substantial losses, such as medical expenses, lost income, or pain and suffering.
At Matzus Law, LLC, our Whitehall medical malpractice lawyers specialize in handling a wide variety of cases, including:
Surgical Errors Surgical procedures carry inherent risks, but preventable mistakes—such as operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical instruments in the body, or administering incorrect anesthesia—can cause catastrophic harm. We ensure those responsible are held accountable.
Birth Injuries The birth of a child should be a joyous occasion, but medical negligence during labor and delivery can result in life-altering injuries for both mother and baby. We help families recover compensation for conditions like cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, and more.
Delayed or Misdiagnosis When medical professionals fail to correctly diagnose a condition in a timely manner, the delay can lead to worsened outcomes or even fatalities. Our attorneys can help secure justice for victims of diagnostic errors.
Hospital Negligence From understaffing to inadequate training, hospital negligence can take many forms. We work to uncover institutional failures and secure compensation for those harmed by systemic issues.
