MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

At Neel, Wilson & Clem, we will thoroughly investigate claims to determine whether or not malpractice has occurred when someone is injured as a result of negligence or misconduct of individuals in the dental, medical, podiatry, chiropractory, psychiatry, and other health professional fields. While a simple mistake is not enough to constitute negligence, a death or injury caused by the failure to provide reasonably appropriate or common standards of care or the failure to diagnose an easily detectable illness may be malpractice. In some instances medical malpractice cases may arise from a medical provider's failure to:

Refer patients to an appropriate medical specialist
Adequately treat an emergency room patient
Diagnose diseases, such as cancer
Recognize conditions that result in injury to an unborn baby
Order a biopsy, or other reasonable action
Monitor changes in a patient's condition
Order necessary lab tests
Order or appropriately evaluating radiographic tests
Properly assess lab values
Adhere to proper standards during surgery
Prescribe appropriate medication

When someone is injured as a result of the negligence or misconduct of a healthcare professional an attorney can determine to what extent the law provides a means of obtaining compensation.

Not every bad result means someone was negligent. However, if you have a question about a possible injury resulting from medical negligence, please contact Joel Wesch today so Neel, Wilson & Clem can help you decide what to do.
