EXPERIENCED SACRAMENTO Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Every year, thousands of Americans are harmed by the doctors and healthcare specialists they trust. If you've been injured, or have lost a loved one due to medical malpractice, Penney & Associates can help.
Medical errors that result in unnecessary harm or death are considered to be malpractice.
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, surgeon, nurse, dentist, or other medical professional makes an error or commits negligence which does not meet the accepted standard for care that is to be expected of someone with their training and experience. Botched procedures, inappropriate prescription choices, and missed or errant diagnosis may result in serious harm or death to a patient.
Malpractice is anything but rare. Recent studies have found that medical errors result in more than 250,000 deaths per year, accounting for 10% of deaths each year—making malpractice the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer.
WHY YOU WANT PENNEY AND ASSOCIATES FOR YOUR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUIT
The consequences of malpractice are severe. Even when death does not occur, victims may suffer from serious and chronic pain, paralysis, brain damage, amputation, permanent handicaps, infection, blindness, and the loss of wages and personal well-being that often occurs as a result.
There are many ways in which medical malpractice can occur, including:
- Amputation of wrong body part
- Birth injuries or miscarriage
- Elder abuse
- Errors in administering anesthesia
- Failure to detect fetal abnormality
- Failure to perform (or unnecessary) C-section
- Failure to secure informed consent
- HMO errors and misconduct
- Improper or unnecessary use of forceps or extractors during birth
- Improper treatment of birth complications
- Incorrect medication prescription
- Lack of treatment
- Misread X-rays
- Missed diagnosis
- Overdosing or under-dosing
- Surgical error (wrong procedure, leaving instruments in the body, etc.)
- Switching treatments between patients
- Unnecessary surgery, or lack thereof
- Wrong choice of treatment
