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.
