Medical Negligence
Representing Victims of Medical Malpractice
Injury and death caused by medical errors happen more frequently than anyone would like. The consequences of negligent medical treatment are often dire and can include excessive bleeding, paralysis, amputation, severe infection, brain injury, blindness or deafness and death.
Working on Behalf of the Injured
The attorneys of Tom Rhodes Law Firm P.C., are well known for representing clients who were seriously injured by medical malpractice. We've also helped family members of those who died from a doctor mistake get answers as to what happened to their loved one.
Medical negligence can take many forms, including:
- Surgical errors
- Birth injuries
- Poor obstetric care
- Carelessly interpreted X-rays
- Failure to follow-up on concerning symptoms
- Substandard emergency room treatment
- Inadequate nursing care in hospitals, nursing homes and home health situations
- Cancer misdiagnosis
Doctors and nurses as well as the hospitals and clinics where they work can all be held responsible for damages in medical malpractice claims. Inadequate staffing, training and supervision are some examples of hospital negligence.
Not Every Law Firm Is Up to the Task
Medical malpractice lawsuits are extremely challenging and expensive to pursue. There are strict filing and reporting deadlines. If a deadline is missed or if a report does not meet the constantly changing requirements, the case can be thrown out of court permanently. That is why it is important to select a law firm with a history of success in medical malpractice claims.
