We trust doctors, nurses and other medical staff with our health, and sometimes our lives. Healthcare professionals bear a burden to be precise and deliberate in their decisions and actions. When they fail, it can mean lasting consequences for their patients’ lives.

Medical malpractice claims may arise from a variety of negligent actions including:

• Administering the wrong medication
• Leaving surgical instruments inside the body
• Negligence while performing surgery
• Failure to perform clinical procedures properly
• Failure to properly diagnose or treat a condition
• Failure to order or promptly review necessary tests
• Negligence causing injury or death during administration of anesthesia
• Failure to obtain informed consent from the patient
• Failure to inform a patient of treatment options

The wrong decision can be the difference between life and death. That’s why the attorneys at Hamilton Wingo are so passionate about fighting to help victims pursue these claims.
