Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice lawsuits encompass a complex legal terrain that arises when healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient. These cases are intricate, requiring a deep understanding of medical protocols, legal standards, and diligent investigation. For over three decades, Maniaci, Ciccotta & Schweizer has been a stalwart in the field of medical malpractice law, offering unparalleled experience and advocacy to clients seeking justice for injuries caused by medical negligence.

Defining Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s actions or omissions deviate from the accepted standard of care, leading to harm, injury, or death to a patient. To establish a medical malpractice claim, it is necessary to demonstrate four key elements:

  1. Duty: The healthcare provider had a duty to provide care to the patient.
  2. Breach: The provider breached the standard of care through negligent actions or omissions.
  3. Causation: The breach of duty directly caused harm or injury to the patient.
  4. Damages: The patient suffered measurable damages as a result of the healthcare provider’s actions.

Surgical Errors: Maniaci, Ciccotta & Schweizer has extensive experience handling cases involving surgical errors such as wrong-site surgery, anesthesia errors, organ perforation, and post-operative complications.

  2.

The firm investigates whether the healthcare professional deviated from the standard of care, resulting in harm due to diagnostic errors.
  3. Medication Errors: Errors related to medication, including incorrect dosages, drug interactions, or prescribing the wrong medication, can have severe consequences for patients. Maniaci, Ciccotta & Schweizer diligently scrutinizes these cases to determine liability and secure compensation for those adversely affected by medication errors.
