Hire a Lawyer for Your Medical Injury & Understand Your Legal Options

When you or a loved one suffers from a medical injury due to negligence, the consequences can be devastating. At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we understand the profound impact this can have on your life, and we are here to help you navigate the complexities of medical malpractice cases. As a trusted lawyer for medical injury cases, our mission is to ensure you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

What Qualifies as a Medical Injury in Malpractice Cases?

Medical injuries are harm or damages caused by a healthcare professional’s negligence, including doctors, nurses, or other medical staff. These cases can arise from situations such as:

• Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, including operating on the wrong site or leaving surgical instruments inside the body.
• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to identify or treat a condition promptly, leading to worsening health or fatal outcomes.
• Medication Errors: Incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or failure to consider drug interactions.
• Birth Injuries: Negligence during prenatal care or delivery, resulting in harm to the baby or mother.

To qualify as a valid medical malpractice case, the injury must result from a breach of the standard of care, causing significant harm or damages. At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we meticulously analyze every detail of your case to establish these critical elements.

How Do You Prove Medical Malpractice?

Proving medical malpractice requires substantial evidence and expert testimony. Here are the key components we focus on:

1. Duty of Care: Establishing that the healthcare provider owed you a duty of care.
2. Breach of Duty: Demonstrating that the provider’s actions deviated from accepted medical standards.
3. Causation: Proving a direct link between the provider’s negligence and your injury.
4. Damages: Showing that you suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm as a result.

Our team at MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers works closely with medical experts to build a compelling case on your behalf, ensuring all critical elements are clearly presented.

Types of Injuries That May Be Grounds for a Lawsuit

Not all adverse medical outcomes are due to negligence, but when malpractice occurs, it can result in:

• Permanent disabilities or loss of function.
• Life-threatening conditions such as sepsis or organ failure.
• Emotional distress caused by trauma or prolonged suffering.
• Significant financial burdens, including medical bills and lost wages.
