Medical Malpractice

At Dean Standish Perkins and Associates, our experienced medical malpractice and birth injury attorneys are dedicated advocates for our injured clients and their families.

We usually trust physicians to make decisions about our health, prescribe appropriate medication, and perform surgery.  Most medical professionals take their responsibility seriously and do everything in their power to help patients get well or stay well.  Occasionally; however, a physician, or other medical provider, can harm a patient through carelessness or bad judgment.  If you or a loved one is the victim of a medical mistake, our team can help you.

Medical malpractice occurs when a physician or medical professional makes a mistake that causes a patient to suffer serious harm, permanent disability, or untimely death.  Medical malpractice can take many forms including failure to properly diagnose a disease or illness, misdiagnosis, failure to properly monitor patients, failure to properly treat the diagnosed disease, surgical errors including wrong-site surgery or anesthesia errors, birth errors including errors during delivery and anesthesia errors, failure to fully inform the patient of the risks of certain procedures and surgeries, misuse of prescription drugs, improper use of medical equipment or implants and other breaches to the standard of care owed to the patient.  Victims of medical mistakes may struggle with medical bills and loss of wages in addition to emotional pain and suffering. If you or someone in your family is a victim of medical misconduct, we can help.

Birth Injury Attorneys

Birth injuries are some of the most devastating incidents of medical malpractice and are often difficult to prove.  If your child was harmed by medical error, our attorneys may be able to help you.  Injuries can occur immediately before, during, or after the birth of a child.  Some of the most common injuries include cerebral palsy, brain trauma, and Erb's palsy (caused by shoulder dystocia).

Our attorneys know how to dig into the facts of medical malpractice and birth injury cases to help you determine whether a doctor or other medical professional has breached the standard of care, and whether a hospital, nursing home or other medical facility has caused your injury.  If a breach has occurred, we will work tirelessly to get full compensation for your injury.

Help is here.  Let us put our experience and proven record of success representing medical malpractice and birth injury victims to work for you.  Contact Dean Standish Perkins and Associates right away.
