When physicians and other medical caregivers make mistakes, the effects can permanently alter the lives of their patients. Though doctors, nurses, dentists, and other healthcare providers are trained professionals, they are not perfect, and are sometimes even negligent. When a patient suffers an injury as a result, the healthcare provider may be liable for medical malpractice.

Gross Negligence
The term “gross negligence,” as it refers to medical malpractice, is conduct so reckless as to render itself obvious even to a layman with no medical training to be mistaken. Examples include a surgeon amputating the wrong limb or leaving a surgical instrument inside a body cavity of the patient.
If you think you or a loved one has suffered from a medical professional’s gross negligence, contact our lawyers. We will evaluate your claim and explain your legal options.
Informed Consent
All patients have are entitled to receive information about one’s medical condition, the treatment choices, risks associated with the treatments, and prognosis. The information must be in plain language terms that can readily be understood and in sufficient amounts such that a patient is able to make an “informed” decision about his or her health care.
However, no waiver or consent form can fully release a medical professional from responsibility. If our medical negligence and informed consent attorneys can demonstrate that negligence or deviation from standard medical procedure on his or her part resulted in injury to you, you may be eligible to receive compensation.
