Alaska Attorneys for Those Harmed by Medical Negligence
When people go to doctors, hospitals and other medical facilities for treatment, they expect to receive care that meets reasonable standards and will not cause greater harm or injury. Unfortunately, errors, negligence and misconduct on the part of medical professionals causes thousands of serious injuries and deaths each year in the United States. If you are a victim of medical malpractice, you deserve compensation to help you through the recovery process.
At the law firm of Walther & Flanigan, our lawyers provide help to people who have suffered serious injuries as the result of medical malpractice, as well as the family members of those killed by the negligence or misconduct of medical personnel. Medical malpractice cases are often complex and require knowledgeable attorneys who know how to properly evaluate claims and present effective cases at trial.
With more than 100 years of combined trial experience in personal injury law, and a variety of medical experts and specialists who assist us in our cases, we can provide the high level of effective representation you need.
Examples of Medical Malpractice
All doctors, nurses and other medical personnel are capable of making mistakes. But when they fail to follow established standards and guidelines, deliver care that is substandard or simply engage in misconduct, their actions can result in serious injuries, including brain injuries, nerve damage, infections and reactions from medication errors. Medical malpractice can occur as the result of:
- Surgical errors
- Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis
- Birth injuries
- Medication errors, overdosing and pharmaceutical malpractice
- Anesthesia errors
If your injuries have made it difficult or impossible for you to work or to return to your same job, you may be able to obtain compensation for lost wages and other damages if your injuries are the result of malpractice. We thoroughly investigate cases to determine whether negligence or misconduct was involved, what potential damages could be awarded, and whether it is in your best interests to pursue a claim against a doctor, hospital or other medical facility.
