/24-7PressRelease/ - PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 17, 2007 - Medical malpractice is found anytime a healthcare provider or professional deviates from the acceptable standards of the medical community, resulting in injury to the patient. Sometimes, we place too much faith in our physicians, doctors, and pharmacists, and assume that they will perform their duties perfectly.
Unfortunately, a medical mistake, omission, and even a misdiagnosis can occur. When these cause the patient to suffer serious injury, a medical negligence claim can be filed. Medical malpractice is serious; it can leave a patient suffering from permanent disabilities, and can even cause death.
"At Pomerantz, Perlberger, & Lewis LLP, we represent many different clients that have been injured as a result of a delayed diagnosis, hospital infection, wrongly filled prescription, incorrectly given drug, poorly performed surgery, and many other forms of medical malpractice," says Eliot H. Lewis in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Thousands of individuals each year suffer injuries from medical malpractice, but fail to recover the compensation they deserve because they are uninformed about the recourse they can pursue.
Medical malpractice can be life threatening. For instance, if a patient has cancer, but their doctor failed to order or properly interpret appropriate diagnostic tests them and delayed diagnosis their disease, they often do not get treatment soon enough to recover from the cancer and needlessly suffer and die. A medical negligence claim may be able to compensate the patient for the pain, suffering, mental anguish, and medical bills and lost income they may have suffered as a result of a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis.
If you believe that you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice in Philadelphia or anywhere in Pennsylvania, contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Pomerantz, Perlberger, & Lewis LLP to schedule an initial free consultation.
