Medical Malpractice
Medical negligence or medical malpractice are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans annually, and even more are seriously or permanently injured as a result of malpractice by a medical professional. The attorneys at The McGarity Group have the experience to navigate these often complex cases — a critical requirement when you or a loved one has been injured as a result of medical negligence.
Examples of medical malpractice include, but are certainly not limited to these:
- Failure or delay of diagnosis
- Misdiagnosis
- Negligence during a surgical procedure
- Injuries or trauma during birth
- Failure to consider undesirable reactions or misuse of prescription drugs or medical devices
- Failure to appropriately treat a patient even when correctly diagnosed.
Our group of trained professionals can best evaluate whether or not you or a loved one has such a claim in medical negligence. These cases are extremely complex and difficult to prove. Let the trained professionals of The McGarity Group be of service to you and your family.
Professional Malpractice
When you hire a professional, you reasonably expect a certain level of service to get the job done. Reasonable expectations can include such service areas as these:
- Appropriate knowledge and ability to get the job done
- Timely attention to your job
- Careful handling of any property you place with them
- Use of good-quality materials for your project
- Testing and other quality assurance measures to ensure the safety of items submitted for repair
The area of professional malpractice encompasses virtually any situation where you may have been injured or otherwise harmed as a result of someone’s professional negligence. To give you an idea of the wide range of situations, here are just a few examples:
- An accountant hired to maintain all personal and home-based business records makes errors that result in an individual’s lost financial reputation and expensive tax penalties.
- A nursing home fails to notice pronounced changes in a resident’s medical condition and does not seek medical assistance, resulting in reduction of the resident’s comfort and quality of life.
- A computer support center provides inappropriate advice, causing serious damage to the computer and loss of valuable data.
- An automotive repair shop inaccurately claims to have installed new brakes in an automobile that later crashes due to lack of braking power.
- A builder uses sub-standard materials when building a residential room addition, resulting in damage to the room soon after it is placed in use.
- An insurance agent misrepresents policy coverage, thereby selling you a policy that fails to meet your needs.
All too often, customers who suffered poor services or product support spend much time trying to pursue satisfaction from the professional. Failing in their attempts, they are convinced that there is no legal remedy available, and they do not seek legal assistance.
