Medical Malpractice

 

     We are lucky in Western Pennsylvania to have many outstanding doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes.  However, not all medical professionals and institutions maintain proper standards of care.  Additionally, sometimes even good professionals commit terrible, life-altering errors.  If you or a loved one have been injured by medical care and think you may have a case, please call our office at (412) 261-1380 or email us for a free consultation and evaluation. 

 

     In Pennsylvania, in order to successfully present a malpractice case we must prove that doctor, nurse, hospital, or other professional was careless or negligent in providing care.  The term Courts use is "deviation from standard of care".  Examples of deviations from standard of care include things like wrong site surgery; some surgical injuries; misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis; emergency room delays or errors; birth injuries; infections; nursing home neglect; failure to formulate, adopt and enforce safety standards; and many others.   In order to prove what the standard of care is, we must present evidence from experts in the specific medical field relevant to your case in order to prove that there was negligence and that the negligence caused harm or death. 

 

     These are typically complicated cases.  We have the experience, resources, and expertise to protect your rights.  We have access to some of the leadings experts across the country to assists us in presenting the strongest possible case to a jury.  If you or a loved one have been injured by medical care and think you may have a case, please call our office at (412) 261-1380 or email us for a free consultation and evaluation.
