It is important to remember that not every medical error is malpractice, but when a health care provider fails to adhere to the accepted standard of professional care and an injury occurs, a valid negligence claim may exist. Our firm has litigated cases involving, for example:
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injury
- Brain injury
- Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis
- Emergency room errors
- Radiology errors
- Medication errors
- Surgery mistakes
- Failure to get informed consent
- Failure to monitor patients
- Preventable infections
- Failure to treat
- Wrongful death
- Nursing home neglect and abuse
- Pharmaceutical errors
A successful medical malpractice lawsuit can provide you with compensation for past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional harm, disability and other injuries and expenses. Success in these cases depends in large measure on the quality of the work done by plaintiffs’ counsel. At Van Meter Law Firm, we have amassed nearly 30 years of experience serving patients with medical malpractice claims.
