Types of Medical Malpractice Cases that An Experienced Passaic Medical Malpractice Lawyer From The Epstein Law Firm Can Help With 

Many healthcare professionals strive to provide patients with the best possible care. However, there are instances when the patient’s condition worsens despite the best efforts of their healthcare provider. There are also some unfortunate incidences where a patient’s condition worsens or they suffer injuries as a result of the negligence or reckless actions of their healthcare provider. In these cases, the patient may be eligible to seek compensation for their injuries. 

We at the Epstein Law Firm, P.A. have successfully recovered millions of dollars in compensation on behalf of patients that have suffered injuries due to physician negligence. We have represented victims in cases involving: 

  • Misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, or delayed diagnosis 
  • Anesthesia errors 
  • Medication errors 
  • Surgical errors 
  • Birth injuries 
  • Blood transfusion errors 
  • Infections 
  • Obstetrical malpractice 
  • Poor training 
  • Use of defective medical devices 
  • Sexual assaults in hospital 
  • And many more 

Unfortunately, med mal is more common than many people would like to believe. However, many victims do not take action and therefore those responsible are not held accountable for their actions. Filing a medical malpractice lawsuit is not only important for recovering financial compensation to cover your economic and non-economic losses but also for holding responsible parties accountable for their recklessness or negligence. Filing a claim may help to save others from suffering the same fate under the healthcare professionals that were negligent.

Frequently Asked Questions about Medical Malpractice in Passaic, New Jersey

What standard of care are healthcare professionals required to provide?

Healthcare professionals are held to a different standard of care when it comes to their patients. They are required to provide the same standard of care that other medical professionals of similar training and experience in the same geographical area would provide under the same circumstances. In providing physician negligence, medical experts assess medical records to determine what a reasonable healthcare professional of similar training and experience in the same geographical region would have done under the same circumstances. These medical experts are often healthcare professionals of similar training and experience as the medical professionals being assessed.

When you want to prove a med mal case, it is important to show that there was a breach of duty of the standard of care expected from the healthcare professional. We at The Epstein Law Firm, P.A. will use our resources to provide medical expert testimonies to establish a breach and support your claim.

I signed a waiver or consent form prior to having a medical procedure. However, I have suffered an injury due to errors made by the doctor. Do I still have the right to seek compensation?

Healthcare professionals require patients to sign a consent form prior to administering medical treatment. The exception to this is in emergency situations. This consent form indicates that the patient is aware of the risks involved in having the procedure performed. It indicates that the doctor has explained the nature of the treatment and the risks involved and has also suggested alternatives for treatment.

Singing a waiver or informed consent form, however, does not waive your right to seek compensation for medical malpractice. If you have suffered an injury due to a doctor’s negligence, you will still be eligible to seek compensation for your injuries and other damages. It is critical that you consult with an experienced Passaic medical malpractice lawyer to determine your rights and options.
