Misdiagnosis, medical mistakes, and surgical errors are all common causes of serious injuries, and in severe cases, even death. When a medical professional fails to respond properly, they can be negligent for any injuries or damages that result. Our experienced legal team of medical malpractice lawyers at Master Weinstein Moyer, P.C. represented injured victims and their families of medical malpractice.

Types of Doctor Errors

Medical malpractice cases can be brought against hospitals, pharmacists, surgeons, nurses, doctors, and more. A medical malpractice attorney from our Philadelphia PA law firm can represent those suffering injuries due to medical errors. Some of the most common medical errors include:

• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose: If you had unnecessary treatment or your doctor failed to diagnose the proper condition, and you experienced side effects, this is medical malpractice.
• Anesthesia/Medication: If a medical professional gives you the wrong medication or the incorrect dosage or an unapproved drug, they can be held accountable.
• Hospital errors: A hospital can be held accountable if your injury occurred because of poor supervision or if a hospital worker could have prevented it by providing proper care.
• Birth injuries: If you or your child experienced serious injury and/or trauma, a doctor, nurse, or hospital could be held accountable. Common injuries can include cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy.

Damages Associated with Medical Malpractice

When it comes to damages associated with medical malpractice, all damages fall into two basic categories: compensatory damages and punitive damages.” Some of these damages can include past and future wage loss, disfigurement, medical expenses, ongoing medical treatment or rehabilitation, and pain and suffering, to name a few. The facts of your particular lawsuit and the extent of your injuries will determine the award paid to you. At Master Weinstein Moyer, P.C, we specialize in representing injured victims like you and your families in these serious legal situations.
