Medical Malpractice: When Healthcare Fails, We Fight for Justice

Medical Malpractice: When Healthcare Fails, We Fight for Justice

We trust doctors and healthcare professionals with our lives. But when that trust is broken due to negligence, the consequences can be devastating. Medical malpractice isn’t just about mistakes — it’s about the lasting harm they cause to patients and their families.

At McDonald Trial Lawyers, we hold negligent medical providers accountable. If you or a loved one has been harmed due to substandard care, our team is here to help you seek justice and recover what you’re owed.

Common Causes of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice happens when a provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care. Some of the most frequent causes include:

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
A failure to diagnose serious conditions such as cancer, stroke, or infections can result in worsening health or preventable death.

Surgical Errors
Wrong-site surgery, leaving tools inside a patient, or operating on the wrong person are more common than most people think.

Medication Errors
Patients may be given the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or drugs that react dangerously with others — leading to severe complications.

Birth Injuries
Negligent care during labor and delivery can result in long-term disability or trauma for newborns and mothers.

Anesthesia Mistakes
Improper anesthesia administration can lead to brain damage, paralysis, or fatal outcomes.

Signs You May Be a Victim of Medical Malpractice

Medical providers rarely admit to mistakes. Watch for signs such as:

✔ Unexplained worsening of your condition
✔ Conflicting opinions between doctors
✔ Treatment that doesn’t match your diagnosis
✔ Unexpected complications after routine procedures
✔ Discovery of a misdiagnosis after it’s too late

If you suspect something went wrong, don’t stay silent. You may have a legal case.

The Impact of Medical Negligence

Malpractice can result in life-altering outcomes such as:

✔ Permanent disability or loss of function
✔ Emotional trauma and anxiety
✔ Loss of future earnings and independence
✔ Additional medical procedures or lifelong care
✔ Wrongful death in the most tragic cases

Our legal team works closely with medical experts to identify negligence, document damages, and build strong cases that hold providers accountable.
