Medical Malpractice

Health care professionals, including doctors, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, and hospital staff must abide by a standard of care in treating patients. Sometimes doctors and hospitals are reckless or negligent or just make mistakes. Traumatic injuries and death can result. The legal team at Ivan M. Waldman & Associates, P.C., helps hold medical professionals responsible for their negligence.

Improper conduct can include misdiagnosing diseases, prescribing the wrong or conflicting medication, delaying or failing to provide treatment, surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, and child delivery mistakes. Mistakes made during birth can result in maternal as well as infant injuries, including cerebral palsy, brachial injuries, developmental problems, brain injuries, and death.
