The
Law Office of Martin Sir & Associates will represent
you in the following types of medical malpractice cases:
Birth
Injuries
- Cerebral
Palsy is a condition caused by damage to the brain immediately
before, during or shortly after birth. A lack of oxygen
is a leading cause of Cerebral Palsy. Often the baby is
too large to be delivered vaginally, and excessive force
may cause damage that leads to Cerebral Palsy.
-
Erbs Palsy is nerve damage to the brachial plexus. Erb's
Palsy can be due to medical malpractice where there is
a failure to estimate the baby's weight before delivery,
failure to perform a c section, or failure to perform
appropriate delivery techniques to manage shoulder dystocia,
where the baby's shoulder becomes lodged behind the mother's
pubic bone.
Surgical
Errors can include incorrect surgical techniques,
operating on the wrong portion of the body, hitting nerves
during surgery, or damaging surrounding tissue.
Anesthesia
Errors can result in coma, brain and nerve damage,
and death.
Misdiagnosis
of life threatening diseases such as cancer can affect a
patient's treatment and chances for survival. A doctor may
fail to pay attention to the patient's complaints, neglect
to order the proper tests, or delay in necessary referrals
to specialists. Radiologists may also read x-rays and other
tests incorrectly
Hospital Negligence includes the negligence of hospital
employees, including doctors, technicians and staff nurses.
Hospital negligence occurs when a health care provider improperly
treats and cares for a patient.
