We Take the Complexities Out of Medical Negligence
Many people believe that winning a medical malpractice injury or wrongful death case is nearly impossible. Health care providers have earned a lot of respect in our society and the vast majority of them deserve it. We follow a simple road map to determine whether a doctor or health care provider's mistake led to an injury or death. We investigate suspicious injuries and deaths that have occurred in the health care system. We prepare every case to answer these simple rules of the road that all medical professionals adhere to, for example:
- A doctor is responsible for everything that is visible on an X-ray
- A nurse must check and double-check, before giving a patient medication
- A doctor must take reasonable precautions to identify and preserve important body structures that may be affected by the treatment or surgical procedure
With over 30 year's experience, the attorneys of Watson & Carroll, PC, LLO know how to make it clear when a doctor or a health care provider has broken an important patient safety rule.
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 medical malpractice case, we can demonstrate precisely how negligence caused the injury.
