When medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care, patients suffer serious consequences that can lead to long-term health complications, emotional distress, and financial burdens.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to a healthcare provider’s mistake, you need a dedicated Las Vegas medical malpractice lawyer to fight for your rights. At Friedman Injury Law, we are committed to holding negligent medical professionals accountable and helping victims recover the full compensation they deserve.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence leads to injury or harm. This can happen in hospitals, clinics, or private practices and may involve doctors, nurses, or other medical professionals. Examples of malpractice include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and birth injuries. When medical professionals fail to meet the accepted standard of care, patients may face severe, life-altering consequences such as permanent disabilities, worsening health conditions, or even death.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to correctly diagnose a condition in time can lead to improper treatment, allowing a patient’s condition to worsen. For example, a delayed cancer diagnosis can reduce treatment effectiveness and lower survival rates.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, or causing preventable infections, can result in severe complications and additional surgeries.
  • Medication Errors: Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to check for harmful drug interactions can put a patient’s life at risk.
  • Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth can result in serious injuries like cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage, affecting the child’s quality of life permanently.
  • Anesthesia Errors: Anesthesiologists must carefully monitor a patient’s vitals and administer the correct dosage. Even a small miscalculation can lead to brain damage, coma, or death.

In the aftermath of an accident, you’re not alone—we’re here to support you every step of the way and fight for the compensation you deserve. Contact us now.

Proving Medical Malpractice

To establish a medical malpractice claim, the following elements must be proven:

  1. Duty of Care: The healthcare provider had a professional obligation to provide treatment.
  2. Breach of Duty: The provider deviated from the accepted medical standard of care.
  3. Causation: The breach of duty directly caused injury or harm to the patient.
  4. Damages: The patient suffered significant harm, such as physical injuries, emotional distress, or financial losses.

Proving medical malpractice requires strong evidence, including medical records, expert testimony, and witness statements. A skilled Las Vegas medical malpractice attorney can gather the necessary evidence to build a compelling case and fight for the maximum compensation.

Compensation for Medical Malpractice Victims

Victims of medical malpractice may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses: Covers past and future medical treatments, rehabilitation, and prescription medications required due to the malpractice.
  • Lost Wages: If the injury prevents the victim from working, they may be compensated for lost income and future earning potential.
  • Pain and Suffering: Accounts for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
  • Wrongful Death: If a loved one has died due to medical negligence, families may recover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.

From day one, Blake, Kevin and their staff gave me a sense of trust and relief when I needed it most. After previously going to another law firm that left me feeling hopeless, finding this team was a blessing. Being involved in a car accident is incredibly traumatic, especially when children are involved, and during one of the most frightening times of my life, they truly stepped up for me. They treated me with kindness, patience, and compassion, always keeping me informed and never making me feel like just another case. I can’t thank them enough for the care and dedication they showed my family and me. They turned a very stressful experience into something manageable, and for that I will always be grateful. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal help.
