The number one rule for doctors is, “Do no harm.” When you seek treatment from a medical provider, you put your trust, faith, and health in the hands of strangers. You’re vulnerable, and you have to trust the doctors and nurses to do their job. You depend on them to do no harm. But what happens when they fail you? What if a medical professional is negligent and puts your life, or your family member's life, at risk or leaves you with a permanent injury?
Scott Volyn of Volyn Law Firm knows a good result in any litigation matter is the product of hard work and skill. Volyn Law Firm knows how to effectively prepare for trial and try cases.
The fact is that an overwhelming percentage of lawsuits settle at some point. Good settlements are negotiated from a position of strength. That strength comes in part from a demonstrated willingness and ability to vigorously advocate a client’s position successfully through trial, if necessary, and to perform at the highest levels of the profession.
In general, if a healthcare provider fails to act where others with similar training would have, the provider may be liable for any resulting injuries and other losses.
Medical Malpractice and Medical Negligence

A negligent act or omission is a breach of duty that may include removing the wrong organ; excessive damage to the body; or leaving a tool in your body after surgery (yes, that really happens!). If you sustain an injury during or after surgery, you still must prove that the breach (negligent act) was the direct cause of the injury, and not merely a bad result, and that injury resulted in compensable damages.
Medical Malpractice and Medical Negligence can include the following:
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
Failure to diagnose an illness correctly can have devastating effects on a patient and his or her family.Medical Device Error
Although medical devices are used regularly to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases, sometimes their failure or misuse results in serious injury or death to a patient.Hospital Vicarious Liability
Employers have a duty of care to direct and supervise their workers. Hospitals can be vicariously liable for any injuries caused by the negligence of their employees, including technicians and nurses.Emergency Room Errors
Although emergency rooms are hectic and rushed, medical professionals must still uphold a high standard of care for their patients.
