Medical and Dental Malpractice

Southeast Michigan Medical/Dental Malpractice Lawyers

Doctors, dentists, nurses and other health care professionals have a certain standard of care to live up to. In fact, they are highly trained so that they can live up to it. When they fail to do so, it can result in serious illness, personal injury or wrongful death.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of dental or medical malpractice, the attorneys of Hertz Schram can help. We are committed to seeing that medical professionals are held accountable for the results of their negligence. We will work hard to see that you get full compensation for hospital bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs incurred due to an act of malpractice.

By doing this, we can be certain that the direction we take with your legal strategy is the right one for you.

Standing beside victims of medical malpractice

Doctors are entrusted with the health of their patients. Violations of that trust can come in a variety of forms, but all of them have one thing in common: a failure to live up to the required standard of care that leads to serious medical complications, personal injury or wrongful death.

Among the types of medical malpractice we can handle are:

• Failure to diagnose (failure to diagnose cancer, failure to diagnose heart attack, failure to diagnose stroke, failure to diagnose appendicitis)
• Misdiagnosis (misdiagnosis of cancer, misdiagnosis of cardiac arrest, misdiagnosis of brain trauma)
• Surgical errors (surgery on the wrong part of the body, leaving surgical implements inside the body, removal of wrong organ)
• Birth injuries (Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy, shoulder dystocia, asphyxiation)
• Failure to treat (failure to treat heart attack in emergency room)
• Anesthesia errors (allergies, excessive anesthesia, coma)
• Medication errors (prescription errors, wrong quantity of medication, wrong type of medication)

Regardless of the type of medical malpractice, our attorneys can help you.

Standing beside victims of dental malpractice

Many people take for granted the fact that dental work can be very complicated and, if done incorrectly, can result in serious damage. Like medical malpractice, dental malpractice occurs when a dentist fails to meet the required standard of care, resulting in serious personal injury or, in extreme cases, wrongful death.

We can handle all dental malpractice cases, including:

• Oral surgery errors (improperly performed root canal, wisdom tooth removal errors, improperly performed bridgework)
• Anesthesia errors (excessive anesthesia leading to comatose state)
• Failure to diagnose (failure to diagnose oral cancer, failure to diagnose periodontal disease)
• Misdiagnosis (misdiagnosed mouth cancer, misdiagnosed periodontal disease)
• Medication errors (excessive medication, wrong medication)

The lawyers of Hertz Schram are available to help all victims of dental malpractice.
