Experienced Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Salt Lake City
Medical malpractice and drug-related mistakes are a serious problem, causing serious injury and death to thousands of patients across the U.S. every year. It's more common than many people realize, but can be difficult to detect because medical care is such a specialized and complex field.
How do you know if an injury or death was unavoidable, or was the result of negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional?
At Robert B. Sykes & Associates, P.C., our medical malpractice lawyers have more than 30 years of experience tackling difficult medical malpractice claims of all kinds, including:
- Obstetrics errors and child birth injuries such as hypoxia, brain damage, cerebral palsy, and other injuries during labor and delivery
- Emergency room errors and negligence, such as failing to diagnose a heart attack or stroke, failing to provide prompt treatment, failing to obtain a complete medical history, or failure to conduct necessary medical tests
- Lab and diagnostic failures, such as a failure to diagnose cancer, failure to order tests, misreading of lab or x-ray results, and misdiagnosis of illness and disease
- Pharmacy and medication errors, such as filling a prescription incorrectly, administering an incorrect dosage, giving the wrong medication, or anesthetic mistakes leading to brain damage
- Surgical errors, including botched laparoscopic cholecystectomy (lap chole) plastic surgery and Lasik surgery problems (some people are not good candidates for Lasik surgery and if a doctor failed to inform the patient of that, he or she may find their eyesight further harmed following eye surgery)
- Nursing errors, including medication mix-ups, failing to monitor a patient's condition, giving the wrong dose of a drug
- Nursing home abuse and neglect, resulting in broken bones, bedsores, and other injuries caused by inadequate care in a nursing home or assisted living facility
