Our medical malpractice lawyers in PA believe that the opportunity to obtain justice should not be confined to those with enough of a financial backing.

We investigate claims at our own expense and if we are unsuccessful in recovering compensation for you, the loss is entirely on us.
Medical Malpractice Philadelphia Cases We Handle
Our medical malpractice lawyers in Philadelphia have handled a wide range of cases, including:
Why do Medical Malpractice Suits Happen?
Medical malpractice lawsuits can happen for many reasons including but not limited to:
- Negligence: This can include actions or inactions, like misdiagnoses, surgical errors, birth injuries, failures to obtain informed consent, or inadequate treatment decisions.
- Failure to obtain informed consent: Medical professionals are required to obtain informed consent from patients before proceeding with the medical procedures or treatment they recommend. In certain situations, when a patient is not informed about the potential risks, benefits, and possible alternatives of a recommended procedure or course of medical treatment and then they are seriously injured due to medical malpractice, they could potentially assert an informed consent claim as part of their medical negligence lawsuit.
- Faulty Equipment: Misuse of medical equipment or faulty medical equipment can result in serious harm or death to patients. If the professional knew or reasonably should have known about a defect in medical equipment and failed to take action prior to utilizing said equipment during a patient’s care, and that patient was seriously injured, they could potentially be liable. Additionally, a product liability claim could be actionable against the equipment manufacturer.
- Failure to follow established guidelines: Medical professionals have standards of care within each specialty of medicine and a reasonable medical professional is expected to comply with such accepted standards to ensure patient safety and competent care. If a provider deviates from accepted standards of care, and their deviation increased the risk of harm to a patient who was seriously injured, it may constitute a medical malpractice lawsuit.
