Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is a broad category of personal injury law that encompasses an array of hospital, emergency room, and surgical errors. Medical negligence occurs when a medical provider fails to meet a reasonable standard of care, based on how competent peers in their profession would normally be expected to act under similar circumstances. When medical negligence results in catastrophic injury or wrongful death, victims and their families can be burdened with astronomical medical costs. For these clients, our Lancaster medical malpractice attorneys provide aggressive representation while fighting for fair compensation.

Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Medical professionals are beholden to a standard of practice that is uniform for everyone within their field. When a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider violates these accepted standards, resulting in injury to their patients, victims may file a medical malpractice lawsuit.

It is important to remember that an unsatisfactory medical outcome does not necessarily point to medical malpractice. To successfully establish a medical negligence claim, our Lancaster medical malpractice attorneys must show that the defendant failed to act with reasonable care and deviated from accepted standards of medical practice. Further, we must show that the plaintiff suffered personal injury as a result of the medical professional’s negligence.

Our medical malpractice attorneys, serving Victorville, Apple Valley, and Antelope Valley clients, can help you recover compensation for your suffering. You may be entitled to damages for the cost of additional medical treatment, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering.

Common Medical Malpractice Claims

Our Lancaster medical malpractice attorneys provide aggressive legal representing to Antelope Valley, Victorville and Apple Valley-area victims seriously harmed by preventable medical errors. At the R. Rex Parris Law Firm , we handle claims involving:

Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home or elder abuse involves the neglect, mistreatment, or harming of a medical care or assisted-living facility resident. Nursing home abuse may take the form of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, or financial exploitation.

Birth Injury

Patients of any age may be victims of medical malpractice, including, tragically, newborn babies. When medical professionals are negligent during a child’s delivery, permanent injuries or deformities can result.

Surgical Errors

While all surgeries involve some risk, many potential problems can be avoided when proper precautions are taken. Unfortunately, mistakes are sometimes made during surgery, resulting in potentially serious complications.

Misdiagnosis

Medical misdiagnosis commonly leads to delayed, omitted, or inappropriate treatments. Misdiagnosis is often associated with inexperienced clinicians, new procedures, poor communication, and improper documentation.

Medication Errors

The dispensing of medication involves many opportunities for human error. Pharmaceutical errors may occur when medications are administered, prescribed, or packaged, as well as while doctors are monitoring their effects.

Emergency Room Negligence

In the rushed atmosphere of a hospital emergency room, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals must act quickly and efficiently to save lives. However, miscommunications and other mistakes may occur, causing serious medical problems.
