Many times when the client comes in to the office they’ll ask me, “Have you ever handled a case like this?”  And I always have a little smile across my face because it’s not what the nature of the case is, do you know how to evaluate the case, do you know how to recognize whether there’s malpractice and do you know how to find the experts to properly review and evaluate the case.

The approach is the same on all of them.  We’ve handled cases involving birth injuries, cerebral palsy.  We’ve handled birth injuries where the doctor has failed to do the prenatal testing to determination as to whether or not the woman was at risk of carrying a fetus who could have some type of genetic birth problem.

We’ve had birth injuries like shoulder dystocia, we’ve had injuries where episiotomies have been improperly done, improper repositioning the tissue at the end of the episiotomy.  We’ve handle case of blood discrasias; we’ve handled cases involving general surgery, abdominal surgery, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery.  There’s not a type of surgery that you could have that we have not seen.

Involving the ears, the eyes, the nose, the face, the mouth.  Whether it be plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, general medical examinations, physicals, blood work.  We’ve hailed cases of men in their 50s have gone to their family physician for their yearly checkups and we find out the doctor has not done a PSA.  A specific test to determine if there is a risk for prostate cancer.

No matter what part of the body, whether you’re talking colostomies whether you’re talking endoscopies, tubes in the nose, tubes in the mouth, tubes in the rectum, every aspect of medical care and treatment that could result in medical malpractice we’ve seen over the years.
