Your Legal Advocates In Challenging Times
Medical malpractice represents a severe breach of trust between health care providers and their patients.
When medical professionals fail to live up to standard care practices, the consequences can be devastating, leading to long-term health issues, emotional distress, and financial hardship.
A medical malpractice claim can hold health care professionals responsible and seek compensation for the harm you have endured.
At Langer & Langer, we understand the critical nature of these cases. Our law firm is dedicated to supporting people in the South Bend community through steadfast legal representation.
Understanding When Medical Malpractice Has Occurred
Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional deviates from the generally accepted standards of their profession and harms a patient.
Common examples include surgical errors, certain birth injuries, incorrect or delayed diagnosis, and improper treatment. Not every negative medical outcome indicates malpractice, but there are often clear signs when it has occurred.
Medical mistakes can lead to severe outcomes, including chronic pain, disability and even death.
Without proper legal representation, victims may not receive the compensation necessary to cover medical bills, lost wages and other related costs.
The Long-Term Effects Of Medical Malpractice
The impact of medical malpractice often extends beyond immediate physical injuries. Victims sometimes experience significant emotional and psychological distress that affects their quality of life and their ability to work.
In some cases, the damage is permanent, requiring ongoing medical treatment and personal care. These long-term effects underscore the need for skilled legal assistance to secure adequate compensation and support for recovery.
Proving Medical Malpractice With Langer & Langer
Proving medical malpractice requires a detailed understanding of law and medicine. Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys at Langer & Langer follow a systematic approach:
- Establishing a professional duty: Demonstrating that a health care provider-patient relationship existed, which created a duty of care
- Showing a breach of that duty: Showing how the provider’s actions deviated from the generally accepted medical standard of care
- Proving causation: Connecting the breach directly to the harm suffered by the patient
- Calculating damages: Documenting the physical, emotional, and financial impact on the victim
Each step involves meticulous preparation and strategic execution, qualities that our lawyers, who have over 100 combined years of experience, bring to every case.
