Using the Legal System to Discourage Medical Errors
One reason societies agree to live according to laws is to ensure that everyone is safe. No matter how much training or expertise a person may have, no one has the right to endanger his or her fellow citizens. Therefore, when doctors break safety rules and commit medical negligence, they have to be held accountable. By enforcing the rules, we encourage doctors not to break them.
Attorney Steven M. Watson is dedicated to recovering compensation for those injured by medical negligence. We help our clients live securely after they suffer terrible tragedies. Because our office understands medicine and the law, we can clarify the issues to help jurors (and society) hold negligent doctors accountable for their actions.
If you were injured or if a loved one was injured or killed because of medical errors, medical negligence or medical malpractice, we can help. Schedule a free consultation with Mr. Watson today by calling 402-492-9800 or by contacting our offices online.
Examining Safety Standards and Regulations
Several nationally-respected organizations publish professional safety standards for doctors. They include the Joint Commission on Health Care and Accredited Organizations, the Institute of Medicine and the Institute for Safe Medicine Practices. By examining the facts of your case, we can demonstrate precisely how negligence caused the injury. We handle:
- Failures in diagnosis (e.g., misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose)
- Failure to choose the correct treatment
- Failure to perform the correct treatment
- Errors resulting from miscommunication
- Medication errors
- Surgical errors
- Birth defects
We don’t take cases unless we are sure someone was careless and someone was seriously injured.
