ESTABLISHING PROOF OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

A bad medical result or even a hospital death is not necessarily medical malpractice. If the doctor followed the accepted standard of care, and the care resulted in injury or death, there is nothing a medical malpractice lawyer can do. For example, an illness can be misdiagnosed even after a doctor has ordered all of the proper tests and skillfully examined the patient. However, if the doctor failed to order the appropriate tests and fails to recognize observable symptoms of an illness, the doctor may be guilty of malpractice.

The key to a medical malpractice case is establishing proof that the medical professional or facility failed to provide an acceptable level of care based on current standards and the tools at hand. As Las Vegas medical malpractice attorneys with 60 years of combined experience, the team at Bernstein & Poisson understands how to manage these cases in such a manner as to create compelling arguments and substantial proof of malpractice.

EXAMPLES OF MALPRACTICE

While every case is different, the following are examples of potential types of negligence or wrongdoing that could give an injured patient grounds for a viable medical malpractice action:

• Failure to prevent a birth injury
• Over-medication or under-medication
• Wrong medication prescribed or administered
• Performing the wrong surgical procedure
• Performing an unnecessary surgery
• Negligent post-operative care
• Anesthesia errors
• Emergency room misdiagnosis
• Wrongful discharge from medical care
• Failure to diagnose cancer
• Failure to diagnose a heart attack or stroke
• Failure to properly monitor patients
• Misdiagnosis of a medical condition
• Failure to order appropriate medical tests
• Failure to refer to a specialist

FILING A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUIT

Nevada state law requires all plaintiffs to obtain complete medical records from the medical provider and have them examined by an expert doctor who will then provide our attorneys with an opinion. If the expert determines that you suffered from medical malpractice, our lawyers will get an affidavit that allows us to initiate an action against the at-fault medical provider. It is extremely difficult to win a medical malpractice case by yourself. Rather than risk losing and having no way to seek compensation for your damages, turn to the personal injury attorneys at Bernstein & Poisson.
