As patients, we rely on health care professionals to safeguard our well-being and our very lives. That’s why the relationship between doctors and patients must be one of complete trust and honesty. When that trust is violated, physical and emotional consequences can be devastating.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured because of a doctor’s negligence or a preventable medical error, you deserve both answers and appropriate compensation. The experienced team at Ken Fiedler Injury Law is ready to help you hold all at-fault parties accountable in a medical malpractice lawsuit.
When you hire our firm, our attorneys immediately set to work investigating the problems that led to your injuries and determining why they occurred. While the list of potential medical errors is seemingly endless, the most common errors leading to litigation include:
Because the practice of medicine is complex, a malpractice attorney needs to learn as much information as possible about what happened and why. This includes researching what the expected standards of care are and how/why the physician or other medical professional failed to follow them.
Not all law firms possess the skills or resources to conduct this in-depth research. But our attorneys utilize their decades of experience to carefully and fully prepare each medical malpractice case for trial.
Patients can suffer a bad medical outcome even if physicians made all the right decisions. Therefore, a bad outcome by itself is not an indication of medical malpractice.
In order to prove malpractice, there are four criteria your attorney must demonstrate. They include:
Most medical malpractice cases rely on the testimony of expert witnesses – typically other medical professionals who can explain how a physician’s actions harmfully deviated from the expected standard of care. They can testify that other reasonable physicians facing the same circumstances would have made different decisions and delivered better treatment.
Our firm has cultivated a network of medical professionals who can serve as effective expert witnesses in medical malpractice cases.
