When a doctor, nurse, surgeon or any other healthcare provider makes a mistake, the effects can be devastating, often leading to permanent disabilities and death. Medical malpractice cases involve negligence, which means the level of care provided did not meet the minimum standards recognized by the medical community as a whole.
At the Shelton Voorhees Law Group, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of people that are injured by negligence, and can help Lawton residents that are suffering from medical malpractice injuries. Contact us to schedule a private consultation with an experienced trial attorney in your area.
Types of Medical Malpractice
There are many possible forms of medical malpractice, and each will require an experienced attorney and a law firm with the resources to handle complex litigation.
Examples of medical malpractice claims include:
- Nursing Home Negligence or Abuse - nursing home negligence can include emotional abuse, medical neglect, physical abuse and sexual assaults.
- Birth Injuries - errors during delivery can lead to permanent disabilities like cerebral palsy and facial paralysis.
- Surgical Errors - these mistakes can include operating on the wrong patient, the wrong body part, or leaving surgical instruments inside the body.
- Medication Errors - can involve giving the wrong doses, the wrong medication, or failure to note drug interactions.
- Anesthesia Errors - too much anesthesia can cause the death of the patient, while too little can lead to the patient being aware of pain during a surgery, but unable to communicate.
- Misdiagnosis - when potentially fatal conditions like cancer are missed during an exam, it can cost patients critical time before treatment is started.
- Delayed Diagnosis in Emergency Rooms - the failure to immediately recognize the symptoms of a stroke or heart attack in an emergency room can prove fatal.
We are able to assist you in any type of medical malpractice claim involving serious injuries and/or wrongful death.
