Surgical Error
When you trust your life to a medical professional whose negligence results in a surgical error, you may feel alone and unsure of where to turn. Acts of negligence can result in lifelong damage. We can act as your advocate and medical malpractice attorney to help you receive compensation.
Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose
When you go to the doctor, you expect an accurate diagnosis, but a medical professional may misdiagnose or fail to diagnose your condition. Our medical malpractice attorneys can fight to secure the compensation you need to cope with diagnosis errors, providing aggressive and compelling litigation.
Nursing Home Malpractice

Wrongful Birth
If you were deprived the chance to make a decision or even prepare for a child with serious medical needs by your doctor's failure to diagnose or to alert you of a birth defect, our proven attorneys can help you seek deserved compensation with a wrongful birth lawsuit.
Failure to Diagnose Stroke
Failing to diagnose or treat a stroke in a timely manner can result in critical and sometimes fatal outcomes. We understand the extent of emotional and financial effects this may cause. We have extensive experience in this field, and work diligently to finalize a proper settlement for the victims.
Lack of Informed Consent
Health care providers are legally obligated to acquire a patient’s consent for medical procedures. This allows the patient to understand the risks related to proposed procedures and be part of the decision process. Failure to obtain the patient’s approval can lead to a medical malpractice claim. With years of experience in this field, we are able to guarantee the best settlement for your case.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is a congenital disorder that causes movement disorders. This condition can develop in the womb, during birth, or shortly after birth and is due to damage to the parts of the brain that control movement. If you think your child may have been adversely affected by a negligent doctor, which resulted in your child's condition, our attorneys can help you seek justice.
Shoulder Dystocia
Shoulder dystocia occurs when a woman's infant cannot properly pass through the birth canal. The anterior shoulder becomes an obstruction and often leads to serious nerve damage and other conditions in the infant, and even death. Our attorneys can help you resume a normal life and collect compensation for your damages if your infant has suffered shoulder dystocia.
Veteran Affairs
In treating patients, a VA doctor or other care provider owes to you what is known as the “medical standard of care” – using a degree of care, skill, and knowledge of the average healthcare provider with a similar specialty practice. When doctors or other care providers fall short of this duty, they may be held liable to you for medical negligence.
Post-Operative Negligence
Post-operative care is the medical treatment and monitoring you receive after a surgical procedure. When healthcare providers fail to closely monitor patients in their post-operative care, they may be liable for medical negligence if injury results.
Prescription Errors
Prescription errors typically occur because your health care provider or pharmacist failed to exercise the proper level of care in administering medication to you. Prescription errors will almost always involve some level of medical negligence by which your doctor can be held liable for medical malpractice.
