Medical Malpractice
Leading Medical Malpractice Lawyers based in Philadelphia
When you go to the doctor, you expect a level of care that ensures you can identify what is wrong and how to fix it. You don’t expect to face life-changing consequences. Unfortunately, medical malpractice has caused patients across the country pain, suffering, and even death—and a feeling that there’s no recourse. That’s where we come in. At Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Law, our medical malpractice attorneys hold healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals—along with their clinic and hospital’s administration—responsible for the damaging decisions they’ve made.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice, or medical negligence, is when a healthcare professional, hospital, or clinic, provides substandard treatment, creating an injury or, worse, death. Medical malpractice can come in many different forms, including:
- Birth injuries;
- Medication errors or mistakes;
- Incorrect diagnosis;
- Delayed diagnosis;
- Nursing home and elder abuse;
- Surgical errors;
- Botched plastic surgery;
- Slips and falls in a facility.
