TALK TO A LAWYER IF YOU SUSPECT A SURGERY 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.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES DEMAND INVESTIGATIONS

As Louisiana medical malpractice lawyers, we build compelling cases to show the total impact of medical mistakes have had on our clients’ lives and their financial future.

This can include:

• Failure to diagnose a disease or injury or a heart attack or stroke in a timely manner that would have enabled proper treatment and likely improved the outcome.

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

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

If a failure to diagnose a disease or injury has altered your life in serious ways — impacting your own prognosis or that of a family member — it may be critical to explain your perspective on what happened to a qualified Louisiana medical malpractice lawyer.

• Birth injuries and fetal deaths due to labor and delivery malpractice.

Birth injuries are heartbreaking, and they can happen when doctors don’t identify the warning signs during pregnancy, labor or delivery.

BIRTH INJURIES ARE TOO COMMON IN LOUISIANA

In some cases, doctors did not have enough experience to handle a crisis. Birth injuries in Louisiana are more common than they should be. In 2016, Louisiana ranked fourth-highest in the United States in infant mortality rate.

If our Louisiana Birth Injury Lawyers handle your case, we will pursue the full compensation you deserve.

• Other extreme errors in judgment and execution that have severe consequences for patients, such as a failure to diagnose cancer.

Failures to diagnose cancer and other life-threatening conditions can occur. Establishing accountability can be essential for the victim and the family’s future. When it comes to treating cancer, a timely diagnosis is often the difference between life and death.

DELAYED TESTING & FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE SYMPTOMS

Delaying diagnostic tests, failing to recognize symptoms or prescribing ineffective treatment options can result in suffering and death.

A delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis in cancer cases are particularly difficult because of the aggressive nature of the disease and the different options available. Our Louisiana medical malpractice lawyers have built our reputation on integrity and honest hard work for our clients.

Before accepting a medical malpractice case, we investigate to determine whether your circumstances merit legal action. We work with independent medical experts and oncologists to investigate diagnostic timelines, test procedures and treatment.
