Medical Malpractice
When we seek medical care, we place immense trust in the hands of healthcare providers. Unfortunately, that trust can be shattered when a doctor, nurse, or medical facility fails to uphold the professional standard of care. Medical malpractice can lead to devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences for victims and their families. At Strickland, Diviney & Segura, we are dedicated to holding negligent healthcare providers accountable and ensuring our clients receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s negligence results in harm to a patient. This negligence can take many forms, including:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to properly diagnose a condition can result in delayed treatment or no treatment at all, allowing illnesses to progress unchecked.
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or causing unnecessary damage, can lead to life-threatening complications.
- Medication Errors: Administering the wrong medication or incorrect dosage can cause severe side effects, allergic reactions, or worsening of the patient’s condition.
- Birth Injuries: Negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can lead to injuries that have lifelong consequences for both mother and child, such as cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy.
- Anesthesia Mistakes: Errors involving anesthesia, such as administering too much or too little, can cause severe complications, including brain damage or even death.
Fighting for Justice in Complex Cases
Medical malpractice cases are often highly complex and require a deep understanding of both legal and medical principles. We collaborate with medical experts to investigate every detail of your case. Our team will gather evidence, review medical records, and consult with specialists to identify where the standard of care was breached and how that negligence caused your injuries.
We understand the overwhelming impact medical malpractice can have on your life. From mounting medical bills and lost income to the pain and suffering caused by prolonged or worsened conditions, our attorneys are here to fight for the compensation you need to move forward. Damages we pursue in medical malpractice cases often include:
