Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Delaware County, PA

“First do no harm,” is a phrase often attributed to the ancient version of the Hippocratic Oath that physicians took before they could begin practicing medicine. Although this exact phrase does not actually appear in the original oath, it does seem reasonable to expect that any doctor should be focused on healing their patients, and if they aren’t able to do so, on avoiding harm to them. While most medical practitioners abide by the adage, “Do no harm,” in some cases doctors can hurt their patients either through negligence or through willful actions. When that happens, we call it medical malpractice, and it can be the source of long lasting physical and emotional trauma. If you’ve been injured at the hands of a negligent or malicious medical practitioner, the medical malpractice attorneys at Katz Injury Law in Delaware County, PA can help you bring a lawsuit against the people who harmed you.

Fighting Against Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is a highly complex area of law, which is why you need the best medical malpractice lawyers to litigate these types of cases. Law regarding malpractice can vary widely based on jurisdiction and the specific actions taken by a medical practitioner can dictate the outcome of your case. While a case of malicious injury can be fairly straightforward, proving negligence on the part of a medical professional can be more difficult. In order to bring a successful lawsuit, you need someone on your side who knows malpractice cases inside and out. Only qualified medical malpractice lawyers possess the knowledge and experience it takes to identify situations in which you have a right to sue and the Delaware County, PA lawyers at Katz Injury Law are some of the best in the area.

A wide range of professionals must abide by the laws regarding medical practice including physicians, surgeons, psychiatrists, dentists, nurses, midwives, and more. If they fail to provide you with adequate medical care or they fail to inform you about the risks of any medical procedure before you undergo it, you could have a case for medical malpractice. You may have a case if you’ve been injured or otherwise harmed by any of the following medical professionals:

  • Physicians
  • Surgeons
  • Psychiatrists
  • Dentists,
  • Nurses
  • Midwives
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Physician Assistants
  • Physiotherapists
  • Osteopaths
  • Chiropractors
  • Podiatrists
  • Occupational Therapists
  • Social Workers
  • Psychologists
  • Pharmacists
  • Optometrists
  • Medical Radiation Practitioners

If any of these people administers medical care to you without possessing a reasonable degree of skill expected of individuals in their profession, or if they are negligent in their duty to adequately inform you about the risks of any medical procedure, you may be able to sue them for money damages. The Delaware County, PA medical malpractice attorneys at Katz Injury Law may also be able to help you identify other situations where a medical malpractice lawsuit is appropriate including:

  • Failure to properly diagnose a disease or medical condition
  • Failure to provide appropriate treatment for a medical condition
