When you seek treatment from a doctor or other medical professional, you are counting on them to make good decisions and exercise great care when performing surgery or other medical procedures. Unfortunately, many doctors do not perform up to those standards, and their reckless or intentional actions can lead to serious injury and sometimes death.
The Covington medical malpractice lawyers at O’Connor, Acciani & Levy have represented many victims of medical malpractice and helped them recover fair compensation. Our well-practiced injury attorneys know precisely how to build a strong case with detailed evidence that gives you the best opportunity to obtain compensation.
Medical malpractice, also called medical negligence, refers to situations where medical professionals cause injury to their patients because they did not uphold their standard duty of care. This means that a medical professional failed to provide the same level of care that another medical professional would have if he or she were in a similar situation.
Medical professionals can be doctors, pharmacists, paramedics, nurses, technicians, hospital staff and possibly anyone else in the medical profession.
Common examples of medical malpractice include:
Medical malpractice can cause severe and sometimes life-altering injuries, including:
These injuries will probably be very expensive to treat when you consider all of the doctor’s visits, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and other treatments you may need. If your injury is permanent, you may need ongoing treatment for the rest of your life.
That is why you should contact an experienced Covington medical malpractice lawyer to see if you can receive compensation to cover your medical expenses and the other damages you have suffered.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that we do not receive compensation unless our clients receive a verdict or settlement in their favor.
Compensation cannot change what happened, but it can help eliminate some of your financial concerns after being injured by medical malpractice. You can also receive compensation for the psychological effects of the entire experience.
In a medical malpractice claim, you could receive compensation for various damages, including:
If you lost a loved one because of medical malpractice, our Covington attorneys may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim. In that type of claim, you could receive compensation for loss of companionship, lost financial support, and lost insurance and retirement benefits, among other things.
If you have been injured because of medical malpractice, your first step after getting treatment for your injuries is to contact the caring Covington medical malpractice lawyers at O’Connor, Acciani & Levy.
We will carefully review all of your legal options and if you are entitled to compensation, we will conduct an in-depth investigation of your claim to build the strongest case we can.
In general, medical malpractice represents a failure to put a patient’s needs first, causing them serious harm. That is why victims of this type of negligence need a compassionate lawyer who makes the client the number one priority.
