When you or a loved one receive treatment from a healthcare professional or facility, you place your trust in that person or facility to provide you with proper care specific to your situation. Unfortunately, sometimes professional healthcare providers and healthcare facilities make mistakes that can cause you or someone you love serious illness, injury, or even death. In turn, this can cause you and your family to suffer damages such as the need for corrective medical care, further medical costs, lost wages, physical disability, and loss of enjoyment of the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed. When an individual suffers damages after being treated with substandard medical care, there are many different ways to pursue liability. However, without an experienced medical malpractice attorney on your side, your claim may not be successful.

Pursuing Accountability for Medical Negligence

As skilled medical malpractice lawyers, the attorneys at Barnett Law Firm, Chtd. evaluate and pursue all angles of medical negligence on the belief that all healthcare professionals should be held to a certain standard, and should be accountable for negligent actions leading to injury or death when they fall below that standard. With over 75 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys have extensive experience pursuing liability for a full range of medical negligence, such as:

• Misdiagnosis: a delayed diagnosis or failure to diagnose illness or other medical problems
• Surgical errors: negligently failing to remove objects after surgery, anesthesia errors, improper surgery, and other medical errors
• Obstetric or delivery negligence: many severe birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy or shoulder dystocia, can be avoided if the doctor properly recognizes signs of distress
• Medication errors: anesthesia overdoes, negligently prescribing medication without reviewing medical history for interactions
• Dental malpractice: injury to nerves, oral surgery errors, infections that could have been avoided
• Other medical malpractice
