Doctor Negligence

Doctor Negligence

The startling truth is that every year, medical malpractice claims more lives than breast cancer, car accidents, and AIDS – combined. Another 1.3 million patients are injured by prescription drugs and medication errors.

Injuries resulting from doctor negligence are often the most difficult to accept. After all, medical professionals swear to do no harm, to protect their patients from life’s ills. But doctor negligence, unfortunately, occurs – and this form of medical malpractice can have life-changing consequences.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of doctor negligence, don’t let time run out: contact an attorney immediately to discuss your legal rights. The attorneys at The Sanders Firm have decades of experience in pursuing doctor negligence claims in New York. We know that your claim isn’t frivolous; a fair settlement could help pay your medical bills, fund necessary lifestyle changes, and account for other expenses resulting from doctor negligence. That’s why we work hard to represent your case and fight for your rights. You shouldn’t have to pay the price for a doctor’s mistake.

Doctor negligence involves any type of medical malpractice that is the direct result of physician or healthcare provider error. In tragic cases where a patient loses his or her life as a result of medical negligence, the legal system provides recourse for justice for surviving family members by allowing them to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Examples of doctor negligence include:

  • Misdiagnosis
  • Anesthesia error
  • Surgical error
  • Nursing home abuse
  • Delay in or failure to diagnose a medical condition
  • Birth injury
  • Pharmacy malpractice
  • Prescription drug error
  • Hospital negligence and/or malpractice
  • Improper consent before a medical procedure or surgery
  • Improper treatment of an illness, disease, or other medical condition
