Medical Malpractice involves negligence by a healthcare provider which either causes new injury to the patient or aggravates a condition that could have been avoided. A few examples of medical malpractice would include a misdiagnosis, failure to properly treat or timely treat a diagnosed condition, medication errors, preventable birth injuries, surgical or anesthesia mistakes, inadequate hospital care, dental malpractice, brain injuries, and bacterial infections. Each medical malpractice case is unique. Assuming the damages are serious enough to justify the expenses associated with litigation, I will need to make a preliminary investigation to determine if there is liability (i.e. did the medical provider’s services fall below the professional standard of care in this geographical area). If your case is selected for further investigation, our law firm will gather all relevant medical records and select one or more experts to assist in an evaluation, investigation, and other relevant legal matters.

In all legal actions there is a time period within which you must file a lawsuit to preserve your rights. In medical malpractice cases the time period depends on many factors, including the age of the plaintiff, the type of claim, and the facts. You need to call the Law Office of Georgia Felner today to determine which limitation period applies to you or your loved one.
