 Philadelphia Medical Malpractice AttorneysIt can be devastating if you or a loved one, whether a child or an adult, suffers lifetime injuries that could have been prevented. When a patient is left in worse condition after medical treatment, there is a possibility that medical malpractice occurred, and you should contact an attorney as soon as possible. The statute of limitations in most medical malpractice lawsuits requires that the claim be filed within two years. Don't add to difficulties by waiting and guessing which law firm will be able to achieve favorable results. For assistance with your case, the lawyers at Robert S. Waldman & Associates, Attorneys at Law, provide qualified legal representation.
Common medical malpractice lawsuits involve certain complications during the birthing process that can lead to injury. If the physician in charge fails to meet the standards of care during birth, he or she can be held liable for medical malpractice. Cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy are birth injuries that can be avoided, and may be the result of a kidney or urinary tract infection in the mother, shortage of oxygen to the infant, or shoulder dystocia. To learn more about what constitutes a birth injury lawsuit, contact us about your case. Our attorneys can evaluate your claim and determine if you are entitled to damages.
Failure to Diagnose or Misdiagnosis A medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed if a physician fails to diagnose or makes a mistake in diagnosing an illness. In cases where doctors fail to diagnose problems such as cancer or appendicitis, the patient could suffer serious health problems or, in the worst instances, death. A misdiagnosis may lead to treatment that could cause injury. If you or a loved one has suffered harm because of medical malpractice resulting from a physician’s error, our lawyers can help. The attorneys at Robert S. Waldman & Associates are well versed in this area of litigation.
There are several types of surgical injuries that could occur in the operating room that may constitute a medical malpractice claim. If the surgeon operates on the wrong part of the body or performs the wrong procedure, he or she can be held liable for medical negligence. Other surgical errors include leaving a surgical instrument in the body and, in some cases, injury resulting from a planned surgery. If you believe you or a loved one is a victim of a surgical mistake, you may have a valid case. Contact our attorneys today to schedule a consultation for a review of your case.
Thousands of medication errors occur every year in the United States. These mistakes can result in serious health problems in patients who take a drug that is not intended for their condition, and our network of lawyers can file a claim to hold the negligent party accountable. A doctor's or pharmacist’s medication error can be caused by unclear handwritten prescriptions, prescription abbreviations, and when two similarly named medications, such as Lamisil® and Lamictal®, are confused for one another.
Negligent care in nursing homes includes elder abuse, as well as treatment that does not meet the standards of care. Successful elder abuse claims have resulted from physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse of residents in nursing homes, in addition to instances of neglect where caregivers fail to provide adequate food, water, shelter, clothing, health care, hygiene, and other basics to residents. If you think a loved one may be a victim of nursing home abuse or medical malpractice, our attorneys can evaluate your case and determine if you should move forward with litigation.
