Reasons you may need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Am I the victim of Medical Malpractice?

When you are ill or need treatment by a healthcare provider, the last thing you expect is to suffer harm from the medical personnel you turned to for help. You may need a medical malpractice lawyer if your healthcare provider failed to give you, a spouse or child a "reasonable standard of care." What treatment another medical professional in a similar profession would perform when faced with the same situation defines this standard of care.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is a term used to describe an array of healthcare provider actions or negligence that result in injury. These belong in three basic categories: failure to diagnose, improper treatment or the failure to warn a patient of known risks.

If you claim a doctor failed to diagnose your condition, you must prove that another similarly trained doctor would have diagnosed it based on the available information. If your physician gave you an improper treatment, you must show that the provider acted negligently in administering the treatment and that the treatment itself caused the subsequent harm. Negligent nondisclosure is a physician’s failure to warn a patient of known risks of a procedure. When proving this type of claim, you must demonstrate that a reasonable person would not have consented to the procedure if the physician had disclosed all the risks.

We are Mesothelioma and Asbestos Cancer Lawyers

We are here for you when you need an Asbestos Lawyer

If your doctor has diagnosed you with an asbestos cancer such as lung cancer or mesothelioma, or your loved one died from one of these diseases, you may be entitled to compensation from those companies who manufactured and sold asbestos containing products. These companies knew or should have known that exposure to asbestos causes asbestos cancer and other devastating health conditions, but failed to adequately notify or protect workers and the public.

What is Asbestos Cancer

Asbestos exposure in the workplace or contact with asbestos products causes the fine asbestos fibers to lodge in the lungs. Asbestos is a known carcinogen and there is no treatment to remove asbestos after exposure has occurred. Types of asbestos cancer that may develop include non-small cell lung cancer, which accounts for about 87% of lung cancers, and small cell lung cancer the remaining 13% which tends to spread more quickly than non-small cell lung cancer. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the cells lining the inside of the chest, abdomen, area around the heart and the outside of most internal organs such as the lungs directly attributed to asbestos exposure. Asbestos exposure also causes asbestosis and pleural disorders.
