Medical Malpractice Cases
We handle medical malpractice lawsuits that involve:
- Surgical errors. These include physical errors, such as cutting where there should be no cut, and leaving foreign objects in the body. A surgical mistake can also include anesthesia mistakes and untreated post surgical infection.
- Emergency room errors like misdiagnosis or triage mistakes.
- Wrongful death.
- Hospital error. These include medication errors like incorrect prescriptions and medication overdose.
- Obstetrical mistakes, including child birth injury, brain damage (which can result in cerebral palsy) and erb's palsy--a condition in which the nerves of the shoulder are damaged from natural birth. A baby with erb's palsy loses the use of the arm attached to the damaged shoulder.
- Failure to diagnose cancer or other conditions.
- Failure to read radiological films correctly.
Statute of Limitations
Remember, there is only a limited time in which you can bring any malpractice claims. After the Statute of Limitations has run, you chance at compensation will disappear. At Whitfield & Cox, we can give you a free case assessment. Contact or call us today.
