Medical Malpractice Matters We Can Assist With
- Medical Negligence: This can manifest in a variety of ways, and we handle a broad range of claims. Emergency room errors, for example, often occur in high-pressure situations where misdiagnoses, incorrect treatments, or delays in care can result in life-threatening consequences. These mistakes may involve ER physicians, nurses, support staff, or hospitals failing to implement adequate protocols.
- Delayed Diagnosis: A failure to identify conditions like cancer, heart attacks, or infections in a timely manner can worsen a patient's prognosis. Accountability may rest with physicians, labs, or clinics that contribute to the delays. We collaborate with medical experts to demonstrate how earlier intervention could have changed the outcome of a person's treatment. Similarly, misdiagnosis—where a condition is incorrectly identified—can lead to unnecessary treatments or failure to treat the actual illness. In these cases, doctors, radiologists, and hospitals may all bear responsibility.
- Primary Care and Doctor Malpractice: Primary care physicians also play a critical role in patient health. Errors such as failing to refer patients to specialists, prescribing the wrong medication, or mismanaging chronic conditions can lead to severe effects. These mistakes often involve doctors, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists. In these situations, we can conduct thorough investigations to establish negligence and seek appropriate remedies.
- Wrongful Death: Surviving family members may pursue claims against healthcare providers, medical facilities, or pharmaceutical companies that played a role in the loss of a loved one. Mannarino & Brasfield, A Division of Schwartz Jambois, provides compassionate legal support to families in these situations, helping them hold all responsible parties accountable and working to secure financial compensation for their loss.
