Doctors, nurses, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and many other healthcare providers are expected to provide a certain standard of care to all who come to them for assistance. If their actions fall below a level judged acceptable by their peers and you are injured as a result, you have the right to sue for damages. The lawyers of Neimark Coffinas & Lapp LLP hold healthcare providers accountable when they fail to meet acceptable standards of care in their industry and consequently cause you harm.
Our process
To better serve your needs, the team at Neimark Coffinas & Lapp LLP stays abreast of changes made by the legislature and new developments released by the state's Department of Health. When you come to our firm for your free consultation, we evaluate the circumstances surrounding your injury to determine whether you have a medical malpractice case. If so, we walk you through every step of the malpractice claims process. Our attorneys are easily accessible and ensure you have a full understanding of your case as it progresses. We discuss at length the medical malpractice settlement process, and give you our best advice on whether to accept an offer or proceed to trial.
Common medical malpractice claims
We believe healthcare providers must be held responsible for breaches in care that greatly damage the health of patients who trust and depend on their healthcare providers’ ability to perform their jobs well. Medical malpractice lawsuits can involve:
Birth injuries: Faulty monitoring during pregnancy can lead to premature birth with lifelong consequences. The failure to discover a prolapsed umbilical cord or trauma during delivery can impair a child for life, manifesting as cerebral palsy, brachial plexus palsy, shoulder dystocia, or a number of other maladies. Errors with vacuum extractors or forceps can cause lasting damage for which your child must be compensated.
Medical errors: Failure to treat an illness early or refer the case to a specialist can have disastrous consequences. When doctors misdiagnose cancer or heart disease, they place patients at risk of disabling sickness or even death. Similarly, when healthcare providers make mistakes with medications, patients may miss their chance at a full and speedy recovery.
Surgical errors: Surgery is inherently risky, but patients often suffer needlessly due to surgical errors including anesthesia errors, incision mistakes, and disastrous wrongful amputations. We also represent ophthalmological patients who suffer damage to their vision during LASIK surgery. Visit the LASIK Lawsuits page to learn more.
Nursing home abuse and neglect: We help families investigate and prove mistreatment of nursing home residents that leads to preventable nursing home injuries, such as falls and bedsores.
Emergency room errors: In an ER setting, every moment counts. But too often, patients are ignored, misdiagnosed or sent home prematurely. We review your care in the emergency room to hold professionals accountable for anything less than the highest standards of care.
