Medical Malpractice: A Detailed Focus
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence leads to patient harm. At Strickland, Diviney & Segura, we understand the devastating effects malpractice can have on individuals and their families. Our firm is dedicated to holding medical professionals and institutions accountable.
Common examples of medical malpractice include:
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, can have life-altering consequences. We work with medical experts to establish negligence and pursue just compensation.
- Misdiagnoses and Delayed Diagnoses: A failure to correctly or promptly diagnose conditions like cancer or heart disease can lead to preventable complications and suffering. We thoroughly investigate medical records and consult with specialists to build a strong case.
- Birth Injuries: Errors during childbirth, such as improper use of delivery instruments or failure to monitor the baby’s health, can result in long-term conditions like cerebral palsy. We fight for families seeking accountability and resources for lifelong care.
- Medication Errors: Administering incorrect dosages or prescribing the wrong medication can lead to adverse drug reactions or ineffective treatment. Our team identifies the root cause of these errors and holds the responsible parties accountable.
- Anesthesia Errors: Mistakes in administering anesthesia can result in serious injuries, brain damage, or even death. We examine every detail of the procedure to uncover negligence and secure justice for affected families.
In every medical malpractice case, our goal is to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages, helping clients rebuild their lives after preventable harm.
