When Medical Negligence Causes Permanent Injury

An emergency room error, negligent inpatient care, or faulty interpretation of test results regarding a heart attack, stroke, or failure to diagnose cancer can all lead to permanent injury. The argument that medical errors are occasionally unavoidable is no reason to excuse a doctor from liability. Just as in the case of motor vehicle accidents, liability insurance exists as a safety net to provide for the needs of the injured in the event of an accident.

When Teamwork is the Best Legal Strategy

I often take on personal injury and medical malpractice cases which are considered to be particularly difficult or complex. In many cases, I am called upon to serve as the second lawyer in a co-counsel context which allows for creative, dynamic teamwork.

"What will a jury think?"

In gross medical negligence cases, as in all personal injury cases, I prepare every case as if for trial. From beginning to end, I am guided by the question, "What will a jury think about these facts?" I strive to ensure that only facts pertinent to a case are brought forth. When potentially damaging facts such as a victim's drinking problem are not relevant, I fight to make sure that such information does not become part of the case. I advise the clients on best practices before they take part in depositions or give testimony in court.

Clients are Members of the Team

When my client is fully informed, we can truly work together as a team. My legal knowledge combined with the client's truthful, focused testimony becomes a powerful strategy for full and fair compensation after medical negligence has resulted in lasting injury.
