Some doctors fail to appropriately treat patients, which can cause serious injuries or death. This might include failing to order appropriate tests, discharging a patient too early from an emergency department, and other similar acts. The Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyers at Raynes & Lawn can help you understand whether your doctor’s failure to treat you amounts to medical negligence.

Your doctor’s duty of care does not end when your surgical procedure is over. Instead, medical professionals must closely monitor patients as they recover and promptly intervene when necessary. If your medical providers failed to monitor you, and you suffered serious injuries as a result, you might have a viable malpractice claim.

Surgical mistakes are among the most serious types of medical errors and can cause severe infections, require corrective surgeries, or leave people with disfigurement and disabilities. Our Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyers aggressively pursue claims against doctors who make surgical errors to hold them accountable for their actions.

Prescription drug errors can be dangerous when people receive the wrong drugs or too much or too little of drugs they need. If you were seriously injured because of a prescription drug error, we can help you pursue compensation from all of those who were responsible.

• Past and future medical expenses related to your injuries
• Past and future wage losses
• Physical pain and suffering
• Disability
• Mental anguish
• Disfigurement/scarring
• Burial and funeral costs in wrongful death cases
• Loss of consortium/guidance in wrongful death cases
