Comprehensive Legal Representation for Medical Malpractice Victims

Attorneys Protecting Your Rights After Medical Negligence

When healthcare professionals fail to provide the standard of care expected in the medical community, patients can suffer severe, life-altering injuries or even wrongful death. Medical malpractice can take many forms, from misdiagnosis to surgical errors, and pursuing a claim can be a complex and challenging process. At Pattis & Paz, we have the experience and resources to help you hold negligent healthcare providers accountable and seek the compensation you need to recover and move forward.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases can arise from a wide range of scenarios where a healthcare provider’s actions fall below accepted standards. Some of the most common types of medical malpractice cases we handle include:

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Failing to diagnose or delaying a diagnosis can lead to worsened conditions or unnecessary treatments.

Surgical errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside the patient.

Medication errors: Incorrect prescriptions or dosage errors that result in harm to the patient.

Birth injuries: Negligence during prenatal care or delivery that causes harm to the mother or baby.

Anesthesia errors: Administering too much or too little anesthesia, leading to complications or permanent damage.

Proving Medical Malpractice

Proving a medical malpractice claim requires demonstrating that the healthcare provider’s actions deviated from the standard of care, resulting in harm. We work closely with medical experts and gather comprehensive evidence to support your case. Our team will analyze:

The medical records and documentation related to your treatment.

Professional opinions from professionals in the same field.

Whether the provider’s actions directly caused or contributed to your injury.

The impact of the injury on your health and quality of life.
