Medical Malpractice

Erie, Pennsylvania, Medical Malpractice Lawyer

You visited a doctor, checked into a hospital, or moved to a nursing home, trusting medical professionals to provide the needed care. Instead, you were the victim of medical malpractice - a medical accident. You may have a permanent disability because of it. You may have missed work and lost wages. You may have suffered pain and require additional treatment.

The hospital, the medical professionals, the nursing home, and their insurance companies are all represented by expensive corporate lawyers. You deserve and need legal representation of your own to make sure you receive fair and just compensation for what you have gone through. If you would like to discuss your case with a medical malpractice lawyer, contact our office and schedule a free case evaluation. We charge no attorney fees unless you recover compensation.

You can trust Attorney David Hunter to effectively represent the interests of victims of negligence in lawsuits and settlement negotiations. Mr. Hunter has over twenty years of experience in area courts. He will enlist the help of medical experts in evaluating your records, and knows how to present facts so the jury and judge understand the full extent of your losses from personal injury or wrongful death.

Medical malpractice claims include mistakes by the hospital, the hospital staff and medical professionals such as doctors and nurses. Those mistakes include actions or neglect such as the following:

• Negligence that causes birth injuries, possibly resulting in cerebral palsy, or even wrongful death
  
  
• Failure to diagnose cancer, infections, or other conditions that would have improved with timely treatment
  
  
• Emergency room errors resulting in missed opportunities for treatment, or an aggravation of a condition
  
  
• Misdiagnosis of strokes as migraine headaches or other less serious conditions
  
  
• Surgical errors and anesthesia / anesthesiologist mistakes
  
  
• Nursing home abuse and neglect, resulting in bedsores, falls, malnutrition, or dehydration

Whether the negligent action was due to inadequately trained staff, poor supervision, medication errors resulting from careless record-keeping, or the poor work of an exhausted resident, the damages are typically covered by a medical malpractice insurance policy. Our medical malpractice law firm can help you determine whether you should file a lawsuit, and how much to expect.
