The attorneys at Prince & Keating are committed to meeting client objectives

Incidents of medical malpractice are very difficult to prove. Our attorneys work with medical experts to come to a complete and objective understanding of the evidence involved. If we believe that you have been the victim of medical malpractice, we will discuss your options and develop an aggressive strategy that seeks justice for you after an injury, illness or death caused by the negligence of a medical professional.

A mistake alone does not constitute medical malpractice. However, if the negligent actions of a doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, or other healthcare professional directly result in the worsening of your condition, you may be entitled to compensation. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you understand whether or not you have a claim. Whether your doctor misdiagnosed your ailment or failed to monitor you properly after surgery, we can represent your rights in a wide variety of medical-malpractice claims, including:

• Wrongful death
• Traumatic brain injury
• Severe spinal-cord injury
• Failure to diagnose
• Failure to timely treat
• Misdiagnosis
• Medication errors
• Pharmacy errors
• Surgical errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Nursing and hospital errors
• Nursing home negligence

Birth injuries

Was your child born with a serious birth defect? If the negligent actions of your doctor or nurse have resulted in your child's injury, you can take action now to make sure you get appropriate compensation. An experienced lawyer can help your child get immediate and long-term care. We help families whose children have suffered a variety of birth defects, including:

• Shoulder dystocia
• Erb's palsy
• Brachial-plexus Injury
• Cerebral palsy
• Forceps injuries
• Fracture of the clavicle/collarbone

Such injuries can be caused by large babies, breech presentation or prolonged labor. These conditions can and should be managed by the attending medical professionals to minimize the risk of birth injury. When they do not apply the appropriate medical standards to the situation, they may be found guilty of medical malpractice.
