Hospital Malpractice

When you go to a hospital for treatment or emergency care, you trust that your medical needs will be properly addressed. When you leave, you expect to have what you need to move forward and heal. When doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals fail to provide appropriate care, you have the right to ask questions and demand answers.

At Corsiglia McMahon & Allard, L.L.P., we work diligently to find the answers you need. We aggressively pursue justice for our clients and have a reputation for easing the pain they endure. Our extensive knowledge and successful handling of hospital malpractice matters brings a sense of resolution to those who have endured serious or fatal injuries at the hands of hospital physicians.

Our hospital malpractice attorneys fight for those who cannot fight for themselves and speak for those who are often silent, taking on medical systems that show lack of regard for patient care. We have encountered the impact of hospital malpractice and emergency room (ER) errors and mistakes up close -- it fuels our resolve to keep medical professionals and entities accountable.

Medical mistakes can be devastating, but we will work to investigate every aspect of your matter and help you put the pieces back together. We have proven success with obtaining the maximum compensation for our hospital malpractice clients, handling catastrophic and fatal medical errors including:

• Failure to provide proper treatment or treating the wrong condition;
• Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage;
• Misdiagnosis of a health issue or failing to diagnose in a timely manner;
• Failure to provide adequate monitoring of the patient;
• Discharge of a patient resulting in health complications or infection;
• Making errors in applying anesthesia before and during surgery; and
• Failure to read reports properly or making laboratory errors.

Any injury you sustain in a hospital setting tied to care, or lack thereof, must be addressed. Please talk to one of our hospital malpractice lawyers so that you can have a good understanding of your legal options. No injury is too minor and no case is too complex. We have earned a well-deserved reputation for being unrelenting in pursuing medical malpractice claims and holding hospitals and hospital staff liable for negligence.

Due to the fast-paced environment, it is not uncommon for medical mistakes to occur in the ER. Some emergent health conditions that could have dire consequences if improperly addressed include heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary embolisms, appendicitis, meningitis, aneurysms, and sepsis. Improper diagnosis and treatment or delayed treatment of such conditions could result in irreparable physical or mental damage, serious injury and even wrongful death. When we take on a case, we examine and investigate every detail, from hospital paperwork and protocols to eyewitness testimony in order to build the strongest case possible.

If you or a loved one has experienced injury or death due to a hospital mistake or ER error, our hospital malpractice attorneys can help you understand the process to seek the maximum compensation possible. Whether seriously or fatally injured, we are ready to provide sound counsel and respected representation.
