Medical Malpractice
Medical professionals provide a valuable service, often saving lives on a daily basis. However, these professionals occasionally make mistakes that result in injury or death to their patient. While things often go wrong in medical procedures, occasionally the injury could have been avoided if simple actions or precautions had been taken. Medical negligence or medical malpractice can be committed by doctors, nurses, orderlies, hospitals, lab technicians, or any other type of medical professional or institution.
At Percy, Tedeschi & Associates, P.C., we represent individuals who have been injured by medical negligence. We can handle the full range of medical malpractice actions, including birth injuries (errors in delivery causing brain damage or other damage to an infant), failure to diagnose, failure to treat, medication errors (wrong dosage or wrong medication), anesthesia errors, unnecessary surgery, surgical errors, and retained objects. These cases are complex, and require an attorney who is experienced, skilled and knowledgeable about medical malpractice and medical negligence. Our personal injury attorneys, and our network of legal and professional service providers, handle cases in many types of medical specialties.
Damages:
When you prevail in a medical malpractice suit, the defendant is required to place you in the same position that you were in before. Although there is no specific formula to determine damages, the following are examples of some of the elements in which recovery is based:
- the reasonable value of necessary medical care incurred and which will be incurred in the future;
- reasonable compensation for the reduction in the ability to work and earn a living;
- compensation for physical and mental pain and suffering, loss of companionship, impairment of a bodily function, and scarring and bodily disfigurement.
