When we go to the doctor, we expect to be healed, not harmed, but when a physician, nurse, anesthesiologist, or other health care professional fails to adhere to the expected standards of care for their position, the patient can suffer irreparable harm. Our Huber Heights, OH medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your options after a botched procedure or misdiagnosis. Call Cowan & Hilgeman today for a consultation.
Medical Malpractice Lawyer Huber Heights, OH
Medical professionals are held to strict professional standards of patient care, including properly diagnosing the patient, performing the correct medical procedure on the right body part, and ensuring that any medications administered to the patient, including anesthesia, are properly dosed and don't cause health issues. If a medical provider fails to provide the accepted level of care for patients, including running the right tests and lab work and keeping the treatment area clean and sterile, they likely committed malpractice, and should be held accountable.
Malpractice covers a lot of ground. Misdiagnosis is a common form, in which a patient either isn't diagnosed with the condition they actually have (and so misses the window for early intervention and curative treatment) or is diagnosed with a condition they don't actually have, and so is subject to painful, invasive, and ultimately unnecessary procedures. Worse yet is a surgical error. Our Huber Heights medical malpractice lawyer has seen cases in which a surgical tool was left inside a patient, and even an operation on the wrong part of the body! Birth injuries, to both mother and baby, and improperly administered anesthesia are also common medical malpractice injuries.
You're in pain, likely fearful of seeing another doctor, and wondering if there is anyone who can help you. We can, and we're prepared to file a lawsuit against the medical provider or providers and the facility in which you suffered harm. We seek full compensation for all the medical care you required, including reimbursing the costs of the initial (failed) treatment and any other procedures and medications you need to treat the malpractice. We also seek fair compensation for your emotional trauma and pain and suffering.
