Advocating for Safe Medical Care for Everyone

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional does not meet the required standards in caring for a patient, resulting in injury or even death.

However, a bad outcome, no matter how tragic, is not sufficient enough to file a medical malpractice suit. There must be proof that the doctor or medical professional was in the wrong, directly resulting in said injury. Most doctors in Rhode Island are well-trained and compassionate doctors, but medical professionals are still imperfect. Inevitably, there are a few doctors who are responsible for more mistakes than the rest.

Our clients tend to file these suits as a preventive measure to make sure that such professionals don’t inflict harm on another patient. Most of the time, we advise patients against filing a medical malpractice suit. Therefore, when we do accept a claim, we are certain that the client is completely justified in filing their lawsuit.

As a result, we make sure to effectively work with the best professionals at the leading teaching hospitals and medical centers all around the country. This allows us to properly research your claim and gather the necessary evidence. It is imperative to us that we file your claim with the best evidence and expert testimonies at trial.

Malpractice has many definitions that vary from case to case. This includes:

Birth trauma as a result of delayed Caesarean-section, which can lead to both cognitive disabilities and physical handicaps
Misidentifying the mother’s heartbeat from the child’s heartbeat during pregnancy
Obstetrical negligence during pregnancy, causing harm to the mother
Late diagnosis of various cancers
Surgical errors, anesthesia errors, or unnecessary surgery
Radiology mistakes such as the misreading of X-rays and MRIs
Pathology errors such as the misreading of biopsies
Delays in treatment or care due to miscommunication between doctor and patient
Errors in prescribing, administering, or refilling medications
Infections resulting from poor sanitation
Administrative errors

Evidence Used for Your Medical Malpractice Case

From the moment we accept your case, we utilize various types of demonstrative evidence to bring understanding to every possible perspective of your claim. This demonstrative evidence can include:

Medical calendars and timelines that summarize a patient’s treatment and display the crucial dates on which the malpractice occurred
Charts explaining when specific standards initially took effect
Case-specific medical illustrations that pertain to anatomy, surgical procedures, or progressions of an illness
CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays that display relevant errors along with enlargements of microscopic images
Fetal monitor strips to indicate key times of labor
Case-specific models from our inventory or created by our own artists

Medical malpractice cases are time-sensitive. You have a limited window of time to file your claim. Therefore, it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible if you suspect a case of medical malpractice.
