Do you have a medical malpractice case in PA or NJ?

You MAY have a medical malpractice case if:

_ You or a loved one were significantly injured from a surgical error or complication of surgery

_ You or a loved one were significantly injured from improper medical care or treatment

_ You or a loved one were diagnosed with breast, ovarian, prostate or other cancer after a year or more of having symptoms

_ You or a loved one experienced stroke, heart attack or pulmonary embolism after being discharged from a hospital ER

_ You or a loved one contracted a serious infection while in a hospital

_ You or a loved one have bed sores or broken bones from a fall during a nursing home stay

_ You or a loved one experienced significant injury while being treated at a Veterans’ Hospital

_ You or a loved one were prescribed the wrong medication or too much medication

_ Your baby experienced hypoxia, birth asphyxia or brain injury following delivery due to a delay in delivery

_ Your baby experienced shoulder dystocia or nerve injury to the shoulder, arm and hand following delivery

_ You or a loved one are having a hard time getting answers from your doctor or hospital

_You or a loved one are having problems getting your medical records from your doctor or hospital

_ The records from your doctor or hospital do not accurately reflect the care you received

If you have checked Yes to any of these questions and (IN PA and NJ) the medical treatment at issue occurred within the past 2 years, you MAY have a medical malpractice case.  The Lewis Law Firm, PC will provide you with a free initial consultation to determine whether you have a medical malpractice case.

Complications, including significant injury or death, following medical treatment create confusion in addition to pain and loss.  You may have “a gut feeling” that something went wrong.  You may be too uncertain or even embarrassed about questioning medical care to consult with a lawyer.

The above is a quick check list of “red flags” which might indicate that your “gut feeling” is correct.  Obviously one can never determine from a checklist whether you actually have a medical malpractice case.  But these are certainly some good questions to start with.
