Baltimore Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Physicians, surgeons, anesthetists, nurses and other health care professionals are highly trained in their fields. As such, patients place their trust and health into the hands of these highly trained professionals. When a medical mistake occurs, patients and their affected family members are sometimes left to wonder: How did this mistake happen? Is it a case of medical malpractice? At my firm, the law office of Irwin E. Weiss, Esq., Attorney at Law, I handle medical malpractice claims related to misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, medication errors and other negligent acts.
If you or a loved one has been harmed in a medical situation and have reason to believe medical malpractice has occurred, please call me at 410-821-0001 to schedule your free consultation. You may also fill out a contact form and someone from my firm will be in touch with you promptly.
Has your life been impacted by medical malpractice?
I have been a personal injury attorney since 1978. My experience allows me to assess claims of medical malpractice thoroughly and correctly.
To prove medical malpractice, it must be shown that the doctor or other health care provider did not follow the standard of care. It must be shown that the doctor did not do what any other reasonable doctor would have done. I can review your potential claim, and set a plan with you how to proceed. If the mistake has resulted in a fatality, I can discuss the advisability of pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of your loved one.
I handle medical malpractice claims related to situations such as the following:
- Cancer misdiagnosis: A timely cancer diagnosis can result in a positive prognosis, with many treatment options and a good outlook for the future. When cancer is misdiagnosed or diagnosed at a later stage, patients and their families may be left to face a terminal illness. If a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of cancer is affecting you or a loved one, I can try to help.
- Heart disease misdiagnosis: Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in our country. Yet, far too often symptoms go overlooked and treatment is delayed.
- Birth injuries: Birth injuries are injuries that occur to the baby before, during or immediately after labor and delivery. If your newborn has sustained a birth injury resulting in Cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy or another injury, please contact me.
- Medication errors: Medication errors can occur at a doctor's office or at the pharmacy. Whether you received the wrong prescription, the wrong dosage or your medication contraindicates another medication you take, medical malpractice may have occurred.
- Surgical errors: Errors that occur in the operating room can include brain injury from over-sedation and anesthesia errors, amputation, paralysis and other catastrophic injuries.
With the help of a skilled and experienced attorney, you and your loved ones can identify if a mistake occurred and who is responsible. Allow me to help you obtain the compensation you need to address your medical issues or care for an injured loved one. Contact my firm to schedule your free consultation.
