Whether your claim involves a case of medical malpractice or dental malpractice, we help clients understand what can qualify for legal action. In practical terms, clients may have been harmed or killed because:

• A medical history was reviewed inadequately
• X-rays or other images were improperly read
• Diagnostic procedures were incomplete or inadequate, resulting in cancer misdiagnosis, multiple sclerosis misdiagnosis, heart attacks or pulmonary embolism
• Hospital infections and other complications were overlooked
• An anesthetist failed to take proper precautions
• Surgical errors were made, including operating on the wrong part of the body or botched abdominal surgery
• Emergency room errors resulted in injury or death
• A doctor may have failed to advise clients of possible negative side effects or outcomes
• Medication errors, including hormone replacement therapy, result in harmful consequences

Selecting Birth Injury and other Medical Malpractice Cases We Can Win

Birth-related brain injury and other medical malpractice cases are among the most difficult cases to win. Therefore, we are selective about which cases we accept. If our Connecticut medical malpractice and birth injury attorneys determine that your infant suffered brain damage or developed Erb's palsy as a result of doctor negligence, we have the resources to help you hold them accountable.

Whether you have been injured due to neurosurgical or surgical malpractice, cardiology or anesthesia errors, or other forms of medical malpractice, you will have the full benefit of 30 years of personal injury and wrongful death experience available to assist with your case.

Representation on a Contingency Basis

If we believe you have a strong case and that we will be able to prove that doctor or nursing negligence occurred and that you deserve to be fairly compensated, we will agree to take your case on a contingency fee basis. This means you won't pay any attorney fees unless we obtain compensation for you.
