Medical Malpractice

Thousands of deaths and serious personal injuries occur in the United States each year that are attributable to medical malpractice by doctors, hospitals, or other medical professionals.

Levin, Fishbein, Sedran & Berman have the knowledge and experience to navigate the complexities of these often difficult cases, which may involve initial failure or delay in diagnosis of a condition, the misdiagnosis of a condition, negligence during a surgical procedure, birth injuries or trauma, failure to consider adverse reactions or misuse of prescription drugs or medical devices, or failure to properly treat a patient even when the condition is properly diagnosed.

As with other major personal injury cases, Medical Malpractice cases also require the ability to effectively consult with experts in order to properly litigate the case and maximize the damages to be recovered.

Frequently, these cases involve medical issues concerning multi-medical specialties, so expert evidence is procured from such disciplines as internal medicine, orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, anesthesiologists, and other medical areas, in order to fully present the medical malpractice case. The firm has contacts with experts in these areas, to provide reliable and accurate case assessments and to offer testimony in favor of the injured plaintiff. And where the case results in a wage loss claim, the firm develops vocational and loss of wage expert evidence in order to compensate for those losses, beyond the compensation for pain, suffering and disfigurement.
