Toledo Pediatrician Malpractice Lawyer

Our Toledo pediatrician malpractice lawyers at Charles Boyk Law Office, LLC handle malpractice claims against pediatricians. A pediatrician is a child physician who provides preventative health maintenance for healthy children and medical care for children who are acutely or chronically ill. Pediatricians manage the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of their patients at every stage of development. Generally, pediatricians focus on babies, children, adolescents, and young adults from birth to 18 years of age.

When a child is sick it is beneficial for them to be seen by a pediatrician, however, there are occasions when a doctor fails to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician of the same medical specialty would use under similar circumstances. The failure of a pediatrician to abide by this standard can result in child injury and in some cases deaths. When a pediatrician fails to provide correct care, which also includes medication errors and diagnosis errors, the injured patient may have Toledo pediatrician malpractice claims.
