When you entrusted your well-being to the care of a doctor, hospital or other health care provider or facility, you rightfully expected professionals to follow accepted standards of care. People who argue in favor of caps on medical malpractice claims often cite the unpredictable nature of the human body. Sometimes we don't know why someone reacts poorly to surgery or medication.
However, in many instances, it is plain to see that a health care professional was clearly negligent. Operating on the wrong body part, leaving a foreign object inside a patient's body following surgery or reading lab reports for the wrong patient are all examples of grievous errors that most reasonable people would agree to call very serious.
You may now suffer serious consequences of a doctor's mistake or a hospital's failure such as the following:
- A need for additional surgery and other ongoing care
- Loss of wages from time off work
- Loss of years of your life
- Loss of quality of life
Some personal injury law firms refrain from working on medical malpractice claims because of the high cost involved. McGowan & Cecil, LLC, on the other hand, carefully screens cases and accepts cases where we can clearly make a difference for our clients. It is true that medical malpractice cases are expensive to pursue. This is why our Laurel medical malpractice attorneys only handle the most clear-cut cases of medical negligence and work them thoroughly in pursuit of maximum available compensation for our clients.
