Medical malpractice is one subject receiving plenty of attention from state and federal lawmakers today. Unfortunately, most of that attention is going in favor of the medical establishment, and against those who’ve suffered serious physical harm and wrongful death as a result of poor and incompetent care from medical professionals.
Fueled by the intense and relentless lobbying efforts of insurance companies, legislative agendas designed to limit the liability doctors, nurses, surgeons and other medical professionals face in cases of medical malpractice have been gaining substantial ground during the past ten years. Today, the medical establishment is pushing harder than ever before to make issues like patients’ rights and legal recourse for medical malpractice victims a distant memory. Backed by a sympathetic Republican administration and Congress, they are succeeding in their efforts. Luckily, a Toledo medical malpractice lawyer is available to fight for those injured and hold the negligent parties responsible. To get started with your claim, consult with a trusted injury attorney today.
Filing a Malpractice Claim
With the rights of medical malpractice victims so clearly under siege, even attorneys are limiting their involvement in medical malpractice cases. Many have closed their doors altogether to medical malpractice victims, refusing to take on their cases and discouraging those who seek quality legal representation for their injuries. Whether they know it or not, by doing this attorneys are contributing to the total victory the medical establishment and their insurance companies are striving for – a “proceed at your own risk” approach to seeking medical care, where responsibility for medical errors is a burden borne solely by the victim – and in most cases, a burden they’ll live with the rest of their lives.
Steps To Take When Injured
Toledo medical malpractice attorney Chuck Boyk believes this is a raw deal for patients, who have no influence or control over how a medical professional performs. Chuck Boyk will always be here to support the rights of those Ohioans injured through the negligence of medical malpractice. He is an experienced medical malpractice attorney and can quickly help clients determine whether someone has been injured as a result of negligence or misconduct of individuals in the dental, medical, podiatry, psychiatry or other professional health care fields. A death or injury caused by the failure to follow reasonably appropriate or common standards of care or the failure to diagnose a detectable illness may be considered malpractice.
Chuck Boyk regularly represents individuals who have died or suffered extensive injuries resulting from the negligence of a hospital, physician, nurse practitioner, or other health care provider. We’ve helped clients pursue just compensation for a medical professional’s failure to diagnose an illness; anesthesia errors; failure to prevent infection; leaving a medical device implanted after surgery; surgery without informed consent; certain birth injuries and cerebral palsy; late diagnosis resulting in a diminished chance of survival; misdiagnosis of a condition, and even wrongful death.
