Medical Malpractice
When medical professionals make obvious, undeniable errors—like leaving surgical instruments inside a patient—the harm is clear and so is the path to justice.
My Honest Approach
Medical malpractice cases are among the most expensive to litigate. I take cases where liability is clear and undeniable.
Cases I Take
- +Surgical instruments left in the body
- +Wrong-site surgery
- +Clear medication errors with documentation
- +Obvious misdiagnosis with undeniable evidence
Cases I Typically Do Not Take
- -Bad outcome despite proper treatment
- -Disputed diagnosis where experts disagree
- -Cases requiring extensive expert battles
If your case does not fit, I will be honest and may refer you to specialists.
Retained Surgical Instruments
When a surgical team leaves a sponge, clamp, or other instrument inside a patient, it is a never event—a mistake that should never happen with proper procedures.
These cases often present clear liability because X-rays show the object, surgical counts should have caught it, and the harm is directly attributable.
