Medical Negligence Cases

Doctors are trained to solve problems, not create them. Anyone, even doctors and nurses, can make a mistake and cause an injury. However, by virtue of their professional education, skill and training, medical professionals are expected to meet certain standards of conduct. If they fail or deviate from those standards, the doctor or nurse can be sued for professional negligence. This is the definition of medical malpractice. For decades, Bendall & Mednick has been handling medical malpractice cases in upstate New York.

Additionally, there have been important and significant changes to your rights due to tort reform in many states. When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury and may be forced to pay the injured person compensatory damages.

Who Can Be Sued for Malpractice?

  • Chiropractors
  • Dentists
  • Doctors
  • Healthcare providers
  • Hospitals
  • Nurses
  • Podiatrists
  • Psychiatrists

What Damages Are Available?

Compensatory damages are provided to place you back in the position you were before being injured. In some rare cases, punitive damages are also awarded in these lawsuits. Punitive damages are intended to punish wrongdoers for repeated wrongdoing or particularly egregious conduct as well as to prevent them from harming others again in the future.

You should expect those in the medical professions to solve problems, not create them. How do you trust the medical community after malpractice has been committed? How does your pile of bills get taken care of? Who will take care of your family? We understand your fears and are here to fight for your legal rights.
