We usually trust physicians to make decisions about our health, prescribe appropriate medication, and perform surgery. Most medical professionals take their responsibility seriously and do everything in their power to help patients get well or stay well. Occasionally; however, a physician, or other medical provider, can harm a patient through carelessness or bad judgment. If you or a loved one is the victim of a medical mistake, Arrington & Phillips, LLP can help you.

Medical malpractice occurs when a physician or medical professional makes a mistake that causes a patient to suffer serious harm, permanent disability, or untimely death. Medical malpractice can take many forms including failure to properly diagnose a disease or illness, misdiagnosis, failure to properly monitor patients, failure to properly treat the diagnosed disease, surgical errors including wrong-site surgery or anesthesia errors, birth errors including errors during delivery and anesthesia errors, failure to fully inform the patient of the risks of certain procedures and surgeries, misuse of prescription drugs, improper use of medical equipment or implants and other breaches to the standard of care owed to the patient. Victims of medical mistakes may struggle with medical bills and loss of wages in addition to emotional pain and suffering. If you or someone in your family is a victim of medical misconduct, we can help.

Birth Injury Attorney

Birth injuries are some of the most devastating incidents of medical malpractice and are often difficult to prove. Injuries can occur immediately before, during, or after the birth of a child. Some of the most common injuries include cerebral palsy, brain trauma, and Erb’s palsy (caused by shoulder dystocia).
