Types of Medical Malpractice Claims We Handle for Clients in Littleton
Not every unfavorable medical outcome will lead to a successful medical malpractice claim, so we’ll take time to delve into the care you received. You or someone you love could have a valid claim for medical malpractice for any of the following actions:
- Misdiagnosis
- Missed diagnosis
- Prescription errors
- Wrong-site surgeries and other surgical errors
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia errors
- Emergency room errors
- Failure to monitor
- Ignored medical history
Our law firm will help you file an insurance claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party, which may be a physician or another party. For example, you could have a claim against a medical facility, dentist, nurse, chiropractor, anesthesiologist, pharmacist, or laboratory technician. Our investigation will identify the appropriate at-fault medical professional or facility.
How We Will Identify Medical Negligence That Entitles You to Compensation
Medical malpractice can take many forms, making it challenging to know if your case qualifies for compensation. The following elements of negligence can identify a valid claim:
- The medical provider owed you a duty of care to protect you from harm.
- The healthcare provider breached their duty by not meeting the acceptable standard.
- The healthcare provider’s breach caused your current condition.
- You suffered economic and non-economic damages due to your injuries.
You do not have to identify these elements on your own. Our Littleton medical negligence attorneys will handle it for you, including collecting evidence that supports your compensation request. Contact our team at Matlin Injury Law for a free initial consultation and learn more about how hard we will fight for you.
Our Littleton Medical Malpractice Lawyers Will Pursue Recovery of These Damages
When we accept your claim, we will create a detailed list of the damages you may qualify to recover and collect evidence that documents their individual and collected value. The average medical malpractice settlement in Colorado is a combination of multiple types of recoverable damages, including:
- Economic damages: Past and future medical bills, including corrective care, rehab, therapy, and assistive medical devices; past and future lost wages, including loss of the ability to earn in the future
- Non-economic damages: Temporary or permanent disability and disfigurement, physical pain and suffering, inconvenience, mental and emotional anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages: If applicable, our Littleton wrongful death lawyers can request recovery of funeral, burial, and cremation costs. You may also recover damages for your loss of financial support, domestic service, consortium, guidance, and companionship.
Our personal injury law firm is committed to getting you more money faster, so we avoid speedy (but insufficient) settlement offers and will work hard to achieve maximum compensation for you. We also offer legal representation on a contingency basis, so you only pay us if we secure compensation for you.
Let Us Take the Confusion Out of the Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations
Filing your personal injury lawsuit on time is a critical part of your case. If you miss the filing deadline, the court could prohibit you from filing. According to CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102.5, you generally have two years to file your lawsuit.
The statutory clock can start ticking:
- On the date of the medical error
- On the date the error was discovered
- On the 18th birthday of an injured minor
These potential fluctuations can make meeting the filing deadline challenging on your own. Let our Littleton medical malpractice injury lawyers handle it for you. We will accurately interpret the filing deadline and file your lawsuit within the allotted time.
