MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IN PHILADELPHIA

Every year, hundreds of people in Philadelphia suffer the consequences of a negligent, incompetent, or inadequately trained medical professional. Their mistakes can result in untold suffering and may even lead to an avoidable death.

In our medically advanced country, there is no excuse for doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other medical professionals to cause further harm to a patient. Yet medical malpractice is far from uncommon. These cases are extremely complex. This is why you need an aggressive, experienced Philadelphia medical malpractice attorney on your side to see that you are provided with everything you will need to recover.

Medical professionals need to be held accountable for their negligence. The medical malpractice lawyers at the Philadelphia office of Wapner Newman are prepared to do just that.

When you’re under a doctor’s care, you trust that your doctor will make decisions that are in the best interest of your health. Yet, every year, thousands of people suffer injury or die because of medical errors. Medical professionals are expected to abide by a higher standard – and to understand how their actions or inaction could affect their patients.

Usually, in personal injury cases not related to medical care, proving that a defendant was negligent requires only a few conditions – plaintiffs must show that defendants knew their action or inaction could result in serious injury to another person. In medical malpractice cases the law requires additional proof as a means of protecting healthcare providers from false claims. Read More

Medical malpractice can take several forms. Some examples of medical malpractice include:

Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy
Surgical errors, including wrong site surgery
Medication errors, such as too much medication or the wrong type of medication
Emergency room negligence including failure to admit and improper monitoring
Failure to diagnose a deadly condition such as cancer or meningitis

When a healthcare professional fails you in any way and you suffer as a result, you deserve to seek compensation for damages.
