Medical Malpractice Overview

Medical Malpractice Lawyers

The vast majority of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are skilled professionals who have their patients' best interests at heart. However, even the most respected and well-meaning doctors make mistakes from time to time. The result of medical errors can be devastating.

According to a study by HealthGrades, preventable medical errors are responsible for as many as 198,000 fatalities in hospitals each year.

If you or someone you love is the victim of medical malpractice, please contact an attorney at Metzger Wickersham today for a free initial consultation and case evaluation. Our lawyers are committed to helping victims of medical malpractice win the full amount of financial compensation they deserve for their injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical bills. We also represent family members of those who died a wrongful death at the hands of a medical professional, hospital, clinic, or other healthcare provider.

We provide aggressive representation in all types of medical malpractice including:

  • Emergency room error
  • Surgical error
  • Birth injury
  • Prescription error
  • Failure to monitor
  • Failure to diagnose
  • Misdiagnosis
  • Wrong procedure

Before pursuing a medical malpractice claim, we must have the case reviewed by a medical expert and file a certificate of merit. We then need to prove that an established standard of care was breached and that deviation from the standard of care caused you harm.

Did your baby suffer a birth defect because of the doctor's failure to perform a C-section in time? Did the failure to diagnose cancer rob you of the chance to benefit from early treatment? Whatever your injury, please contact us to discuss your case.
