We Fight to Hold Negligent Healthcare Providers Accountable for Their Actions
When you turn to a healthcare provider, you do so because you trust that he or she can make you better or help you maintain your health, so when a healthcare provider causes more damages or exacerbates a condition, it can feel like a breach of trust. Unfortunately, medical malpractice is all-too common. In fact, it is the third-leading cause of death in the United States. At BDIW Law, we strive to combat the incident rate of malpractice in the best way we know how—through legal action.
Our Team Is Here To Assist You Every Step Of The Way.
SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY TODAYWhat is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is the failure of a medical professional to render services that meet the standard of care of a reasonable healthcare provider. This failure often results in harm to the patient. In the best case scenarios, that harm is merely temporary. In the worst case scenarios, however, that harm can result in permanent physical and financial consequences or even death. If you or a loved one is the victim of medical malpractice, you have the right to file a claim against the negligent party and ensure that he, she, or it is held accountable. Not only can you gain compensation if you win, but also, you can help prevent future instances of malpractice from harming other innocent individuals.
At BDIW Law, we specialize in variety of medical malpractice cases. However, the most common malpractice suits that we see include:
- Surgical errors, which often involve making the wrong incision, leaving objects inside a patient, or performing the wrong procedure on the wrong patient;
- Birth injuries, which can result in birth defects, premature birth, miscarriage, or maternal fatalities;
- Brain injuries, which can occur during labor or surgery, or when a doctor commits a surgical error, prescribes the wrong medication, fails to properly monitor oxygen levels, delayed treatment of injuries, or a host of other errors;
- Misdiagnosis, which can result in delayed treatment or lack of treatment entirely;
- Failure to diagnose, which can result in delayed treatment, exacerbated conditions, or death; and
- Hospital mistakes, which can include any number of incidences.
Injuries caused by malpractice are often the worst kind, and they are difficult to fight. Medical professionals are held to a high standard of care, and as such, it is difficult for non-medical professionals to gauge whether or not a professional meets those standards. For this reason, medical expert testimony is required to win a malpractice case. Our attorneys at BDIW Law have connections within the medical community and can use those connections to ensure that your case is strong and enduring.
