Medical Malpractice Lawyers

When you go to a health care professional for a medical procedure or even just a checkup, you expect that professional to treat you with the best care possible. However, too often many suffer from avoidable medical tragedies. If you or a loved one were a victim of medical malpractice, contact the lawyers at Sanford Heisler Sharp for an evaluation of your case.

What Is Considered Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional acts negligent or fails to action when an emergency arises. This act of negligence can result in a medical error, which can lead to an injury or even death.

Medical errors are responsible for approximately 98,000 wrongful deaths each year. According to a Harvard University study, more than one million people every year suffer injuries because of mistakes caused by health care professionals or by malfunctioning medical devices.

The type of injuries caused by medical malpractice can affect your life severely. Such hardships you may experience can include:

  • Expensive medical bills
  • Ongoing and possibly invasive treatment
  • Expensive rehabilitation costs
  • Inability to return to work, resulting in loss of income
  • Physical and emotional pain
