Erie, PA Medical Malpractice Lawyers Assist Victims of Hospital Negligence

Medical carelessness is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States today, despite recent advances in the technology and technique of health care delivery. An estimated 98,000 people die every year as a result of medical errors — and countless more are injured, often permanently, as a result of avoidable medical mistakes.

Were you seriously hurt by a medical error? Did you lose a loved one due to hospital, doctor, or nursing home malpractice? If so, contact us today for a free consultation. You can also view our Medical Malpractice FAQ page for more information.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is the failure to adequately diagnose or treat a patient. When that failure results in injury to the patient, such as when a doctor assumes that a condition is harmless and thus fails to order tests that would have revealed a life-threatening condition in time to save the patient, or when the wrong medication is ordered or provided to a patient and the patient subsequently dies or is injured, the patient or their survivors are entitled to recover compensation for harms and losses.

The Investigation of Your Pennsylvania Medical Negligence Case Is Critical

Some medical mistakes are obvious, like wrong site surgeries where the surgeon is supposed to amputate the left leg but instead amputates the right leg. Most medical malpractice cases, however, require thorough investigation and analysis of complex medical issues.

Indeed, determining what happened and why is often the main reason that clients come to us. Doctors and hospitals are often reluctant to share the truth with families after a medical error. Medical records frequently do not reveal the complete truth. We conduct a vigorous investigation to collect available evidence and then we use the best experts and specialists to review your case, determine what happened and why, and develop the best legal options for you.
