When Doctors Get It Wrong From the Start

Loss of a Chance
A misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose an illness is a lost opportunity. What might have been a treatable condition may be allowed to degenerate or is compounded by the errors of physicians, radiologists, lab technicians or surgeons. Failing to identify a terminal condition robs patients of treatment to extend life, curtail the pain and make the most of their last days.
Our medical malpractice team includes three proven trial lawyers and an in-house medical professional (physician's assistant consultant). They have the sophisticated knowledge of professional protocols and the underlying medical conditions to trace the negligence. We hire medical experts as necessary to analyze the medical records and testify what a competent and vigilant doctor would have done in the same circumstances.
