Medical Malpractice

Helping Medical Malpractice Victims for Decades

The Louisiana medical malpractice lawyers of Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC have helped victims of serious medical malpractice and their families for decades.

Patients visit doctors and hospitals with the hope of receiving treatment and the proper care for whatever is ailing them. This is a relationship of trust – for the healthcare provider to deliver the correct diagnosis, prescribe appropriate treatments, and put those who are ill or injured on the path to recovery.

Medical Errors Can Be Devastating for the Patient

Unfortunately, there are times when medical care professionals make mistakes. Your safety as a patient is not guaranteed, but many errors in medical settings are preventable.

When a healthcare provider makes a mistake when diagnosing or treating a patient, it could be medical malpractice.

These errors can be devastating, and often patients don’t receive a proper explanation of how or why an mistake occurred. If you or a family member has suffered serious harm due to the negligence of a doctor or hospital, you may have the right to recover substantial compensation.

Our Lawyers Can Help You Anywhere in Louisiana

A medical malpractice lawsuit seeks compensation for losses caused by preventable medical errors.

Medical malpractice in Louisiana covers a wide range of medical practices and negligent actions. Though it is a broad term, as not all medical errors result in medical malpractice cases.

Doctors, nurses, medical analysts and assistants, pharmacists, administrators, anesthesiologists, facility owners, and others could all potentially be held liable if a patient is severely injured.

Our Lawyers Fight for You After Medical Negligence

In any type of medical malpractice case in Louisiana, the plaintiff must prove that the healthcare provider failed to give the expected level of care. That includes ordering diagnostic tests and procedures to ensure the proper diagnosis.

Medical malpractice cases have a high burden of proof and demand resources to pursue, but our Louisiana Personal Injury Law Firm is up to those challenges.

Thorough investigations are often necessary. Experts in medical care are often needed as witnesses to testify in medical malpractice cases to convince jurors that negligence of the doctor or hospital caused the patient’s injuries.

Our Louisiana Medical Malpractice Lawyers handle Louisiana medical malpractice claims involving seriously adverse outcomes such as disabling injury or wrongful death, including cases arising from:

• Surgical errors involving a nicked artery or tendon
• Operations on the wrong body part
• Negligence leading to post-surgical infection

Talk to a Lawyer if You Suspect a Surgical Error

Surgery can be the difference between life and death — and a surgical error can be the difference between a full recovery and permanent disability.

If you suspect that your own surgery or a loved one’s surgery was improperly performed, causing serious complications or a premature and wrongful death, it is important to consult with experienced Louisiana medical malpractice lawyers.

Surgical errors can include anesthesia overdoses and preventable allergic reactions. It can also involve the failure to provide proper post-surgical care essential for preventing a life-threatening or fatal infection.

Among the most devastating medical outcomes people face are due to diagnostic failures at various levels of the healthcare system. Diagnostic failures are one of the leading causes for the most devastating medical outcomes.

For example, emergency room personnel may dismiss a patient without performing the necessary tests that could expose a brain injury.
