Erb’s Palsy
Having a baby with Erb’s Palsy is a frightening and saddening experience. This birth injury is often the result of trauma to the upper arm or shoulder, especially if the mother’s delivery is long or difficult. The condition is often caused during difficult deliveries, breech presentations, and prolonged labors. It also happens during complicated births when medical professionals must quickly deliver a baby and exert force to pull the baby from the birth canal, stretching the nerves in the baby’s neck.
Surgical Error
Have you or a family member suffered harm or injury due to malpractice in the form of a surgical error? Unfortunately, surgical complications can arise and errors sometimes do occur during surgical procedures. Surgical errors can occur in many ways, including failing to recognize and repair injury to an organ, leaving behind a surgical tool or item inside of the patient, or incorrectly performing surgery and causing injury.
Doctor Error
Sometimes health care providers such as doctors, nurses, podiatrists, chiropractors and dentists can cause injury to a patient during the course of medical treatment due to their negligence. Personal injury resulting from medical malpractice can be devastating and result in the victim suffering both bodily harm and financial disruption. The already victimized patient and his/her family may be uninformed about finding legal representation to present their claims and begin to recover physically, emotionally and financially. This is when a New York Doctor Error Lawyer can help.
Nursing Home Negligence
The good news is: We are living longer. With that good news, however, comes the realization that many of our parents and loved ones are spending their “golden years” in nursing homes or other assisted living centers. While these facilities often allow more freedom, companionship and care, we are also becoming all too aware of increased incidences of poor care, neglect and outright abuse. Whether it is a low nurse-to-patient ratio, poorly trained, overworked staff, or incompetence, many nursing homes are not providing the diligent, appropriate care our seniors deserve.
