Anesthesia Errors
Medical malpractice resulting from anesthesia errors most often occurs in the context of surgery – whether it is a major surgery (c-section, liver transplant, etc.), a minor surgery (e.g., a procedure done with a scope), or even a tooth extraction. Anesthesia may be administered intravenously, locally, or by respiration. It also includes spinal epidurals and numbing sprays. Whatever type of anesthesia is administered, there are always inherent risks with its use. And, while not all anesthesia incidents rise to the level of medical malpractice, many of them do. Overworked doctors, stressful scenarios, loud and crazy operating rooms, and certain medical complications can often result in mistakes. And, when preventable anesthesia mistakes occur, patients suffer.

Birth Injuries
Welcoming new life to the world is among the most special and precious experiences that any of us will ever have. It’s meant to be a time of joy and jubilation. But that’s all premised on the hope that everything will go right.Fortunately, most babies’ births do happen without incident. Occasionally, though – and perhaps more often than many parents realize – things go wrong. Doctors make mistakes. Complications go undetected until irreparable harm has been done. As experienced Connecticut birth injury attorneys, we’ve encountered heartbreaking instances of medical negligence and error – including during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and newborn care.

Defective Drug Manufacturing
Pharmaceuticals are meant to improve our quality of life by treating or controlling illness and prolonging our lives. They are marketed as modern miracles in a bottle and our physicians prescribe them as they see fit. But many of these medicines have hidden hazards that can severely injure or kill those who trust them to better their health. The defective drug attorneys at Berkowitz and Hanna LLC help those who have been harmed by pharmaceuticals and their families.
Hospital Errors
Hospitals can generally be held accountable for creating or maintaining a safe or unsanitary environment, for failing to protect their patients from harm, and for employing careless staff members. In many cases, they can also be held vicariously liable for the negligence of the doctors who attend to patients within their walls. Of course, hospitals are well funded and well insured. A whole army of lawyers waits to protect them from incoming injury claims. Don’t let that discourage you. If you or a loved one has suffered because a hospital made mistakes, our experienced Connecticut hospital negligence attorneys can help. Call us today.
Malpractice Lawsuit
Medical Malpractice
In a perfect world, every trip to the doctor’s office would be successful or, better yet, we’d never become sick or injured at all. Illness and injury, though, are facts of life – and the reality is that doctors don’t always make things better. In fact, sometimes, they make things worse. Medical malpractice stories are frustrating and, in many cases, heartbreaking. They are tales of breached duties and broken trust, of professionals who fail to meet the high standards to which they are called. The Berkowitz and Hanna LLC works hard to give those stories a better ending. Our Bridgeport Medical Malpractice Lawyers have seen firsthand how unfairly patients are often treated. We know that hospitals, physician practice groups, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical corporations do everything that they can to save themselves from liability, regardless of whether it’s the right thing to do. They’re all too willing to turn a blind eye to patients in need.

Medical Misdiagnosis
When a healthcare provider fails to timely recognize, properly diagnose, and/or appropriately treat a patient’s condition, the results can be serious and life-threatening. These missed opportunities may mean the difference between health and sickness and life or death. Physicians, nurses, surgeons, and other medical care providers must diagnose and treat patients in accordance with the appropriate medical standard of care. With respect to the diagnosis of medical conditions, treating physicians must do everything possible to ensure he or she meets this standard.
Medication/Prescription Errors
A physician may be liable for medical malpractice if he or she commits a medication or prescription error that directly results in harm to the patient. These types of medical errors include the administration or prescription of drugs to patients that may cause allergic reactions, reaction due to the incompatibility of medications, and the like. As in all medical malpractice cases, a medication prescriber’s decisions are measured against healthcare providers in a similarly situated scenario. Additionally, in order for the lawsuit to be successful, the patient must have developed injury due to the medication or prescription error. Pharmacies are not immune to medical malpractice lawsuits if it can be shown that the pharmacist or a pharmacy employee negligently made a prescription error (e.g., filling the incorrect medication, filling the incorrect dosage, etc.)
Misdiagnosis
In misdiagnosis cases, plaintiffs must demonstrate sufficiently that doctors with the same type of training in the same general geographical location would have diagnosed a condition differently than the defendant physician. Essentially, the victim must show that the physician was negligent when misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose a patient’s condition. It is also important to note that the missed or failed diagnosis itself may not rise to the level of medical malpractice. It is only medical malpractice if the improper diagnosis results in delayed treatment, improper treatment, or a lack of treatment, which then directly results in further harm to the patient (e.g., worsening of condition, development of a new condition, etc.)
Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse
Our elders and seniors are oftentimes incredibly vulnerable. Those in assisted living facilities, dementia units, and nursing homes often are unable to speak for themselves or properly convey their concerns, questions, and wishes. They therefore must rely on and place enormous trust in their caregivers to properly treat them medically, physically, and mentally. When the negligent actions or inactions of nursing home professionals results in harm to an individual, it may be possible to bring about a medical malpractice claim – either individually or on behalf of a family member. This is also true for abuse cases.

Product Liability
When you purchase a product, whether it is as simple as a toaster or as complex as an automobile, you assume that it is safe to use for its intended purpose. You typically trust whomever you purchased it from, and you trust the manufacturer to provide you with a product that will not harm you, your family, or anyone else. Too many times, however, that trust is misplaced, as many people are injured and killed by dangerous and defective products each day. The product liability attorneys at Berkowitz and Hanna LLC help those injured by defective products by protecting their legal rights and obtaining fair compensation for their injuries.
Surgical Negligence
When patients undergo surgery, they are placed in an enormously vulnerable position. They literally place their lives in the hands of someone else. They trust that the team of doctors, nurses, and other medical staff will perform the surgery as planned and take the utmost care in doing so. You assume and expect that the team will meet the appropriate standard of medical care when performing your surgery. Unfortunately, sometimes things can go wrong and patients may become the victims of surgical negligence.As with all medical malpractice cases, an injured plaintiff must demonstrate that the surgeons, hospital, or other responsible parties did not act in accordance with the accepted standard of medical care. This, of course, will require expert medical evidence and testimony and is often an uphill legal battle.

Wrongful Death
Wrongful death actions are the ultimate negligence lawsuits, because patients are not simply injured, but have died due to the errors of someone else. Families must bring actions on behalf of deceased loved ones; the legal process is emotionally draining, complicated, lengthy, and difficult. Like all other types of medical malpractice cases, wrongful death lawsuits based on medical malpractice are not easy to “win.” That is why it is more important than ever to hire an experienced Bridgeport malpractice lawyer in a potential wrongful death case. When choosing a Bridgeport medical malpractice wrongful death attorney, there is no substitute for experience. The medical malpractice attorneys and legal team at Berkowitz and Hanna LLC have the experience and resources necessary to go toe to toe the insurance companies of the defendant(s). We have an incredible track record in successfully initiating and resolving these extremely challenging and painful matters for our clients.
