Kenosha Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Medical malpractice occurs when health care providers do not meet the expected care standards, which can harm patients. This is not just about bad outcomes despite proper care – it is also about negligence that leads to serious consequences, such as operating on the wrong body part, prescribing incorrect medication or missing clear signs of symptoms for conditions such as cancer. These mistakes often leave injured patients dealing with pain and suffering, financial stress and a deep sense of injustice. As a dedicated malpractice attorney, I help you understand your situation and guide you through the legal process to hold negligent providers accountable.
I have been practicing law in Kenosha for over a decade, continuing my family’s long-standing connection to legal services in this community. At my law firm, the Law Office of Paul M. Gagliardi, I offer personalized service. When you call me, you will speak directly to me. I do not pass cases off or make vague promises. I focus on straightforward advice, realistic expectations and determined representation of every case I take.
What Must Be Proven To Win A Medical Malpractice Suit?
To succeed in a medical malpractice lawsuit, it must be proven that the health care provider did not uphold the necessary standard of care in their profession. This involves showing that their negligence directly caused the patient harm. Examples include wrong-site surgeries, injuries during birth, medication errors or failure to diagnose conditions such as cancer despite precise test results. These cases require a thorough review of procedures. Protocols must also undergo scrutiny to determine that there were no breaches of standards.
How Often Do Doctors Settle Out Of Court?
Doctors and hospitals often prefer settling medical malpractice cases out of court to avoid lengthy litigation and public exposure. Settlements can be beneficial when handled fairly. However, if an insurance company does not offer a reasonable resolution, I am prepared to take your case to trial to ensure justice prevails.
What Happens If You Lose A Malpractice Case?
If a medical malpractice case does not succeed, it does not erase the harm suffered or challenges faced afterward. Losing can leave plaintiffs with unresolved medical bills and legal costs. At Law Office of Paul M. Gagliardi, I focus on realistic expectations from the start and explain what options are available so we can effectively move forward with your case.
