Braintree Medical Malpractice Attorney

When medical errors occur, the results can be devastating. According to a study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), it is estimated that medical errors kill over 250,000 patients each year, making medical negligence the third leading cause of death in the U.S., after cancer and heart disease.

That number is not only astonishing but it is extremely frightening. Medical malpractice can occur in any case and may result from:

• Delays in diagnosis
• Misdiagnosis of serious medical conditions
• Medication errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Medication overdoses
• Surgical mistakes
• Delays in treatment
• Preventable infections

How to Win Your Medical Malpractice Case

Medical malpractice is a complex area of law often requiring the use of multiple medical experts from different medical specialties in order to establish a solid case that will withstand legal challenges from the defense. While there are many factors that may affect the outcome of a case, one of the first steps you should take to increase your chances of success is to hire a skilled medical malpractice attorney who will work aggressively on your behalf to recover the compensation that you and your family deserve. The Braintree medical negligence lawyers at Curran Law Group, P.C. know what steps must be taken in order to maximize the potential settlement value of your case and to prepare for a successful outcome either through settlement, mediation, or at trial, if necessary.

Recovering Damages in a Medical Malpractice Case?

Injuries from medical malpractice can be severe and even life-altering. For example, failure to properly treat a patient with a wound or injury may lead to a life-threatening infection requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation and that is if the patient is lucky and does not develop deadly sepsis. A delay in diagnosis for cancer may drastically reduce a patient’s chances of achieving a favorable medical outcome, or a delay in diagnosing and treating a stroke may lead to a patient’s death. When a doctor or medical provider fails to follow the standards of care that are required for their medical specialty and a patient is harmed as a result, a claim for medical malpractice may be pursued.

While every case presents its own unique set of facts and circumstances that may impact the settlement value of a case, the following is a list of potential damages that may be recovered in any medical malpractice case:

• Damages for pain & suffering
• Recovery for past medical expenses
• Recovery for future medical expenses or procedures
• Damages for emotional distress
• Damages for loss of companionship of a loved one
• Recovery for loss of future earnings or income
