What Types Of Medical Malpractice Cases Can Our Attorneys At Paul B. Weitz & Associates, PC, Handle?
Our Queens medical malpractice lawyers have the skill and experience to handle:
- Birth injuries: They occur when a newborn sustains damage during the birthing process due to medical errors. Examples include cerebral palsy from oxygen deprivation or nerve damage from improper delivery methods.
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose: When a doctor fails to recognize symptoms or incorrectly diagnoses a condition, patients may receive improper treatment or no treatment at all, which can worsen life-threatening conditions. Misdiagnosis of cancer, stroke and infections are among the most serious forms of medical negligence.
- Nursing home abuse and neglect: This involves any action or inaction by caregivers that results in harm to residents. It can range from physical abuse to preventable bedsores to emotional neglect.
- Anesthesia errors: They occur when anesthesiologists administer the wrong dosage, fail to monitor vital signs or neglect to check for allergies. Patients who wake up during surgery due to insufficient anesthesia may suffer severe trauma.
- Prescription errors: Medication mistakes can occur at any stage of treatment, from prescribing the wrong drug to pharmacy dispensing errors. Dangerous drug interactions, allergic reactions and overdoses can result from these errors.
- Surgical errors: They range from operating on the wrong site to leaving instruments inside a patient. Surgical mistakes can lead to infections, internal bleeding or life-threatening complications.
- Wrongful death due to medical negligence: Involves a patient’s death due to a health care provider’s negligence. Examples are misdiagnosed heart attacks leading to death, surgical errors causing fatal internal bleeding or lethal medication overdose due to prescription errors.
