We entrust healthcare providers with our lives. We trust in their training, skills and experience to provide us with the best possible care. It can therefore be devastating to suffer injuries as a result of the failure of a medical professional to meet the standards of care expected of them.

Unfortunately, medical malpractice is more common than many people would like to believe.

This type of misconduct can result in serious injuries or even death.  The law allows for victims of medical practice to seek compensation for their injuries and other damages.

When to file a medical malpractice claim

It is alarming to note that medical malpractice is now one of the leading causes of death in the US. It has been ranked after cancer and heart attacks. Medical malpractice results in the death of about 225,000 people every year.

Many victims of medical malpractice, however, aren’t sure whether they should file a claim or not. They aren’t sure whether their case qualifies as medical malpractice. The best thing to do is to seek the advice of medical malpractice attorneys. Get in touch.

We are experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Omaha. We will review the details of your case and help you determine the best action to take.

Some of the most common types of medical malpractice include:

Misdiagnosis

This may include failure to identify a condition or misdiagnosing a condition. Either of this results in the patient not being able to get the treatment they need in good time. This can have deadly results.

Errors in medication

This may include improper dosage of the right medication or administering the wrong medication. In either case, the patient’s condition may worsen and this may lead to fatalities. Patients may also develop negative reactions to wrong medications, leading to other complications.

Mistakes with anesthesia

This may involve under or over administration of anesthesia. This can lead to patients suffering pain or can result in complications such as patients not recovering consciousness after the procedure.

Birth injuries

These include injuries that may occur to the baby or mother as a result of the negligence of healthcare professionals.

Surgical errors

These include errors made by healthcare professionals before or during surgery such as operating on the wrong part of the body or damaging an organ during the operation.

Medical malpractice can have serious consequences. It is therefore important for victims to hold healthcare professionals accountable for their mistakes and seek compensation for injuries and other damages resulting from malpractice.

Your Questions About The Law

The short answer is yes, you should care because it’s going to affect the statute of limitations on your claim. It’s important to define what a political subdivision is that way, you know where your claim lies.

A subdivision is city, county, villages, schools, certain administrative agencies. All those are treated under the act differently. Now, if you do sustain an injury or an accident with one of those individuals that I’ve named, then you have one year from the date of your injury to file a written notice, written claim to that subdivision. If you don’t, then your claim is forever barred. Read More

That depends on you, specifically in regards to the length of time it takes for your injuries to improve, how long it takes to get to a point where we can reasonably determine what your future looks like, what additional medical care you require, the cost of such medical care and what permanent restrictions or impairments you have. Read More

The answer to that is almost universally no. The reason for that is the insurance companies like to get in early and offer you a lowball offer in the hopes that they can get you to sign a release of liability waiver. Once that happens, you’re out of luck.

The reason that they send these lowball offers is because you haven’t had a chance yet to properly evaluate your claim. You might still be treating, you might need future medical. There’s also the possibility that you’ve been permanently damaged and you need a doctor to assess that. Read More

Maximum medical improvement or MMI is the point in your injury where you’re about as good as you’re going to get which means you’re not likely to get much better and you’re not likely to get much worse.

It doesn’t mean that you’re all the way better and so for that reason, maximum medical improvement is the point at which your permanent disability benefits are determined. Read More

In order to answer that question, we have to know the specific facts of your case. A lot of factors go into the value of a workers’ compensation case.

First of all, money benefits that are paid to you are based on your wages before the accident. That amount is used then to determine both your temporary disability benefits and your permanent disability benefits. Read More

Yes, it can. In order to modify a child custody order, you have to show what’s called a material change in circumstances.

Now, simply stated what that means is something has to happen. An unanticipated change that if the judge or the parties knew about it when they made the original order, they would have decided differently. Read More

Well, it depends on two things.

First of all, who are you suing and second of all, what are you suing them for? If it’s just general negligence and you’re suing a private person or corporation, it’s four years from the date of accrual of the claim or the date of the accident. Read More
