Failure to Treat

A medical misdiagnosis is frequently the cause of failure to treat. If a proper diagnosis is not received, proper treatment cannot begin in a timely manner. Many conditions require prompt treatment to avoid permanent injury, undue suffering, exacerbation of symptoms, and even death. If a nurse or doctor failed to treat you and you were deprived of the opportunity to obtain appropriate care, your case may be covered under a Montana law called “loss of chance.” Regardless of the basis for your claim, our superb attorneys are more than happy to meet with you and see if we can help you pursue restitution.

Medical Misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosis is sadly more prevalent than people would expect, affecting about 12 million United States citizens annually. Frequently missed diagnoses commonly involve serious conditions like heart attack, lupus erythematosus, stroke, meningitis, cancer, and Lyme disease. If you were misdiagnosed or if you received an unnecessarily delayed diagnosis, you might be eligible for compensation. Erroneous diagnoses can lead to gratuitous suffering and pain, and they may even lead to death. Don’t let the negligent individual(s) go on to cause the same problem for another unsuspecting patient – put justice in motion by contacting a personable medical malpractice lawyer at Steve Harman Law.

Birth Injuries

Injury to a newborn is one of the most devastating consequences of medical error. As a birthing mother, trusting the care of your infant to your healthcare providers is par for the course – but what happens when you don’t get the attention and care you deserve? Medical personnel must make critical judgments quickly in the event of an emergency. Sadly, their judgment is not always correct in these high-pressure situations. Birth injuries can include:

Shoulder dystocia

Lack of oxygen and subsequent brain injury

Erb’s palsy

Broken bones

Cerebral palsy

Death

A variety of causes may be to blame for your child’s birth injury, which include:

Failure to detect complications, including preeclampsia or fetal distress

Failure to employ the proper obstetric maneuver to assist with birth (including forceps or vacuum extraction)

Failure to perform a cesarean section in a timely manner

Unsafe administration of Pitocin

Improper prenatal or postnatal care

Maternal and/or fetal infections

Failure to properly monitor baby and/or mother

Some birth injuries are unrelated to medical malpractice, but many birth injuries are in fact brought on by insufficient or unsuitable care. Perhaps your child’s short-term challenges have caused your family to go through a great deal of emotional and financial stress. In more severe cases, your child might require ongoing assistance and deal with challenges for the foreseeable future. Our caring team is adamant that justice must be sought for both you and your child. If you or your baby received inadequate medical care, let your medical malpractice lawyer in Great Falls, MT fight for you.

Nursing Home Abuse

Because of the aging U.S. population, there is a growing need for nursing facilities all around the country. Because the populace is so trusting and prone to mistreatment, abuse and neglect in nursing facilities are far too widespread. When your loved one has to depend on their caregivers for necessities like comfort, medication, food, hygiene, and healthcare, they should also be treated with utmost respect and dignity. If your loved one was injured in a nursing home due to blatant abuse, negligence, failure to provide the necessary degree of care, or understaffing, it is imperative that you contact us as soon as possible. Although financial compensation cannot possibly erase the pain and suffering, our expert legal team will do our best to guide you through the process of recovering and moving forward.

Spinal Cord Injuries

A spinal cord injury can have dramatic and significantly life-altering impacts on a person’s life. Spinal cord injuries can cause paralysis, quadriplegia, paraplegia, or nerve damage. Long-term therapy and care will probably be necessary, whether you or a loved one were hurt during a herniated disc operation, a spinal injection, or another spinal procedure. We would be happy to review your medical records and help you determine whether to pursue a malpractice lawsuit. If we decide litigation is in order, we’ll be sure to seek full compensation for your pain, suffering, and future care expenses. We’re here to be your support system as you pursue financial compensation, and we hope this important first step allows you to start the next chapter of your healing journey.

Prescription Medication Errors

Simple mistakes often result in undesirable outcomes including allergic reactions, erroneous dosages, the wrong drug being administered, or the wrong patient being given medication in most prescription error cases. When prescribing and combining medications, medical practitioners must be diligent – but mistakes can still occur. Unfortunately, these mistakes – which frequently arise from a simple error like a missed decimal point – are among the most prevalent in the healthcare industry. Your dependable lawyer at Steve Harman Law will assist you in identifying the mistake, gathering evidence, filing a lawsuit, and pursuing justice if the improper management of your prescriptions caused you injury.

Surgical Errors

When you find out you require surgery, you’re undoubtedly already worried about the healing process and the procedure itself. In the event that your surgery results in an unexpected injury, your whole future can feel uncertain. We will take all necessary measures to establish the nature of the injury, analyze whether the surgeon had the training required to perform the procedure, determine whether the appropriate instruments were used, and obtain other pertinent information that will strengthen your claim. Our competent team will be right by your side as you pursue justice. Since no two cases are identical, your medical malpractice lawyer in Great Falls, Montana will take great care to demonstrate whether or not your harm could have been avoided, taking a personalized approach to every case.
