Medical Malpractice Overview

Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Doctors and nurses make mistakes. Some of those mistakes can cause incredible hardship to patients and their families. At the Melvin Law Firm, our Raleigh law practice is limited exclusively to medical malpractice cases. If you or a loved one has been injured because of hospital or doctor negligence, we have the knowledge and experience to assist you. Contact the Melvin Law Firm to find out more from an experienced Raleigh medical malpractice lawyer.

Our attorneys have handled medical negligence lawsuits that involved:

• Failure to diagnose cancer cases. Cancer symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions. In order to be sure, the proper tests are necessary. If there is no test, a mistake with the test or lack of follow up, the cancer can spread, hurting the patient’s chances for survival. The window for cervical cancer detection is especially wide. If a woman has a yearly pap smear, she should never develop cervical cancer.
• Emergency Room Errors. Problems like surgical errors and heart attacks cannot wait. Every hour that passes worsens the problem. An improper triage or lack of response can worsen an already acute problem. Medication mistakes, which are preventable, can also occur.
• Birth Injury. There are numerous complications that can happen during a birth. Most of the time, mother and baby can come through with the help of a capable OB-GYN. If the doctor makes a mistake, however, the result can be damage to the brachial plexus or cerebral palsy.
