Medical Malpractice

Doctors, nurses, technicians and hospitals are the primary medical providers we trust to provide safe and appropriate medical care to ourselves and our loved ones.

Usually, all goes well. When it doesn’t, it may be caused by the medical provider’s failure to follow “accepted standards of medical care.” Medical malpractice occurs when this failure causes an injury, harm or death.

Determining the standard of care requires qualified medical experts. For over thirty years, Slama Legal Group has developed an extensive network of expert resources.

Examples of medical malpractice cases we have handled

• Birth trauma
• Surgical errors
• Anesthesia mistakes
• Delay in diagnosing and treating
• Failing to obtain Informed Consent
• Pulmonary Embolism cases
• Pharmacy or prescription errors

Explaining medical mistakes to a jury often requires a multi-media approach.  We work with a team of skilled medical and anatomical illustrators and experts to create visual aids to help demonstrate complex issues to the jury.
