Franklin Park Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice Lawyers Committed to Protecting Patients Throughout Western Pennsylvania

When we seek medical treatment for an injury or illness, we all expect that we will receive the care necessary to aid in the fullest recovery possible. Unfortunately, negligence on the part of a healthcare provider can actually cause the patient to suffer even greater harm and can be counterproductive to fully recovering from the initial condition. When this type of negligence amounts to medical malpractice, you may have the right to recover compensation to cover the costs of escalating medical bills, as well as the pain and suffering that the negligent treatment caused you and your family to endure. At Berger Lagnese & Paul, LLC, a dedicated Franklin Park medical malpractice lawyer is committed to our fight to protect patients receiving medical care throughout Western Pennsylvania.

We believe that by successfully recovering the maximum amount of compensation possible for our clients who have been harmed by medical malpractice, we encourage doctors and other medical professionals to perform their duties in accordance with generally accepted medical standards. If you have been harmed because of a medical professional’s actions or omissions, call us today to see how we can help recover the compensation you need to move forward.

Medical Malpractice Can Cause Serious Harm or Death in Franklin Park Cases

Negligent care that amounts to medical malpractice can be provided by any healthcare professional in any type of hospital, medical treatment facility or clinic. Examples of scenarios that may amount to medical malpractice in Franklin Park include:

• Performing an unauthorized surgery or procedure that harms the patient
• Performing a surgery or procedure without the relevant skills and training necessary to properly provide the required level of care
• Failure to diagnose cancer or another condition, thereby causing that condition to worsen
• Misdiagnosis, where the doctor diagnoses the wrong condition and provides treatment for a condition the patient does not actually suffer from, potentially while also failing to treat the correct condition
• Failure to warn the patient of the potential risks of a surgery, procedure or course of treatment
• Prescribing the wrong medication, or the correct medication in the wrong dosage
• Birth injuries, including failure to perform a C-section when one is called for and failure to monitor your child’s development
• Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong body part, performing the wrong procedure or leaving surgical equipment in the body

Any one of these errors can cause the patient to suffer significant future harm and even death in the most extreme cases. We work tirelessly to make sure our clients receive the compensation they deserve to hold negligent medical professionals accountable for their mistakes when serious harm results.

Skilled Lawyers at Berger Lagnese & Paul, LLC Understand How to Win Complicated Medical Malpractice Cases

At Berger Lagnese & Paul, LLC, our medical malpractice lawyers fully realize that doctors and healthcare workers provide a critical service and know that their job responsibilities are difficult, stressful and require extensive training to complete. However, we also believe that these individuals have a duty to provide the appropriate level of care to patients who rely on their services on a daily basis. To proceed with a medical malpractice case, we will fight to establish the necessary elements of that case, including that:

• The healthcare provider or hospital owed you a duty of care,
• That duty was violated by the negligent care provided,
• Because of that violation, you suffered physical harm that caused you to suffer greater injury than would have been the case had you been treated appropriately.

About Franklin Park, PA

Franklin Park is a borough located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and began to develop after the great depression, when Franklin Park residents began to accept positions in the mills of Pittsburgh and other larger cities. After World War II, the rural character of Franklin Park declined even more rapidly and continued population growth motivated the area to develop the Franklin Township school district, which later joined the North Allegheny school district, as well as other public works. Today, Franklin Park is home to an estimated 14,552 residents (as of 2017), representing a population growth of about 1,000 from the time of the 2010 census.
