Rhode Island Medical Malpractice Attorneys

1. RHODE ISLAND MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEYS Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini, LTD.

2. Doctors and other medical professionals must go through intensive training for many years in preparation for practicing their profession, and they are rewarded with high incomes, prestige, and the esteem and trust of the patients who rely on them to stay healthy. Practicing medicine comes with a high level of responsibility and the opportunity to serve others. The rewards, both personal and financial, can be great. But as in any occupation, there are those who are attracted by the prestige of the title and the economic benefit, without the commitment to excellence that is required of members of this demanding profession. Similarly, some hospitals sacrifice excellence in care to the desire to earn profits for their shareholders. When these things happen, doctors and hospitals may become negligent, and negligence in the medical field means live that are lost or damaged, sometimes irreparably.

3. HOW DO WE DEFINE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE? Medical malpractice means that a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare professional has failed to meet the standard of care that would be delivered by any reasonably competent medical professional in the same area of specialization in the same, or similar, situation. This could be either an error of commission, for example surgically removing the wrong body part, or an error of omission. A physician or hospital that breaches this standard of care can, and should, be held liable for damages suffered by the patient and family.

4. TYPES OF MEDICAL ERRORS Some of the most common types of medical errors include: Diagnostic errors, including misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose a disease, which then worsens. Surgical errors, such as surgery performed on the wrong site, or leaving a foreign object in the body. Anesthesia errors. Medication errors, including wrong medication, wrong dosage, or administering a medication to the wrong patient.

5. WHY YOU NEED THE BEST MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWYER YOU CAN FIND Medical malpractice cases are not easy. They can be extremely complex and labor- intensive. They require expert witnesses to analyze medical records and testify against the doctor or hospital responsible for the error. Doctors tend to close ranks to protect each other, so it is not easy to find the experts that you need to make your case. A highly experienced medical malpractice attorney will be familiar with the expected standards of care in the medical community and will have a team of respected specialists on call to assist in identifying where the care you or your loved one received deviated from the appropriate standard, and in demonstrating that the error was the direct cause of the patient’s death or declining health status. So don’t just pick any lawyer out of the phone book. Choose one with years of specific medical malpractice experience, a high rating by peers, and a solid history of success in these demanding cases.
