MEDICAL MISTAKES ARE THE

It has been reported that there are as many as 400,000 deaths per year as a result of medical mistakes. In addition there are millions of incidents of medical mistakes each year that do not result in death.

If you or one of your loved ones is injured as a result of medical malpractice, Goldberg Law can help. Typically, in order to establish that an injury or death is the result of a medical mistake, your attorney will obtain the medical records and have them reviewed by an expert witness.  In order for a valid medical malpractice case to exist, we need expert witness testimony that the medical care provided was below the “Standard of Care,”  and that the mistake was a cause of the injury or death.   We also must prove damages which include past medical expenses, future medical expenses, scarring, pain and suffering, and any other economic or non-economic loss that be established.   

 The law imposes a strict deadline on when medical malpractice cases must be filed.  This deadline is called the “statute of limitations.”  This deadline varies from state to state.  It is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after medical malpractice is suspected.
