Salt Lake City Medical Malpractice Attorney

Injury, Illness and Death Cases through Medical Malpractice in Salt Lake City

When we entrust our loved ones or ourselves to medical practitioners, the expectation is that we will be provided with an expected level of care, and certainly do not consider that we may suffer a serious illness, injury or lose a loved one through negligence. It is fair to expect that we will be cared for properly. Unfortunately, cases of medical malpractice do occur and when they do it is a frightening and dangerous situation. When illness from misdiagnosis, failure to recognize dangerous symptoms, prescribing the wrong medication or the wrong amount of medication occurs, you have a legal situation that must be addressed. At Zabriskie Law Firm, our extensive legal team can assist with the claim or lawsuit that must be filed on behalf of the injured.

We provide experienced legal representation for many types of medical malpractice cases. Some of the various types of doctor/hospital malpractice areas we can assist with include surgical malpractice cases involving anything from medication errors, cancer misdiagnosis and anesthesia malpractice, to severe incidents such as birth injuries, amputation malpractice, wrongful death and meningitis malpractice. These types of malpractice can be devastating to the victims who simply expect to be properly cared for by the people they are seeking medical help from.

There are numerous types of malpractice that occur within hospitals and under the care of physicians and medical practitioners. The neglect of a single doctor or nurse can cause a person to suffer severe injuries, illness or in all too many cases, death. Often in hospitals, patients may face emergency room neglect when suffering from severe pain or injury, or may lose their life due to something such as a stroke or heart attack misdiagnosis.

A Salt Lake City medical malpractice lawyer at our office has even helped victims of medical malpractice from Kaiser Permanente hospitals, in which many victims have had difficulty in filing a claim due to restrictive terms in their patient documentation. Other types of malpractice we can assist with include nursing home abuse, pediatric negligence, and malpractice cases which led to cerebral palsy, mental retardation, autism or traumatic brain injuries. No matter the malpractice case, we will do everything we can to investigate your case and help you if you have a potential claim.
