Medical Malpractice

At Johnson & Roche we are experienced medical malpractice attorneys who can help clients determine whether malpractice has occurred where someone is injured as a result of negligence or misconduct of individuals in the dental, medical, podiatry, chiropractory, psychiatry and other health care professional fields. While a simple mistake is not enough to constitute negligence, a death or injury caused by the failure to follow reasonably appropriate or common standards of care or the failure to diagnose a detectable illness may be malpractice.

We regularly represent individuals who have died or suffered extensive injuries resulting from negligence of a hospital, physician, nurse practitioner, or other health care provider. Catastrophic cases may arise from a medical provider’s failure to:

• Refer patients to an appropriate medical specialist
• Adequately treat an emergency room patient
• Diagnose diseases such as cancer
• Recognize conditions that result in injury to an unborn baby
• Order a biopsy or other reasonable action
• Monitor changes in patient’s condition
• Order necessary lab tests
• Order appropriate radiographic tests
• Adhere to proper standards during surgery
• Prescribe appropriate medication

When someone is injured as a result of the negligence or misconduct of a healthcare professional, an experienced medical malpractice attorney can determine to what extent the law provides a means for obtaining compensation.

Not every bad result means someone was negligent. Our experience has made us adept at analyzing these cases, simplifying complex medical matters and identifying and aggressively pursuing legal remedies. But if you have a question about a possible injury resulting from medical negligence, please contact us today so we can help you decide what to do.
