While medical mistakes are common, admitting to the mistakes and compensating the victims is not. At the Timoney Knox law firm, we know how to investigate medical malpractice cases and hold medical professionals accountable for their mistakes.
We accept medical malpractice cases on a contingent fee basis. You are not responsible for attorney's fees unless your claim is successful.
Medical malpractice cases require a high level of service and commitment to the injured person. The cases require extensive trial experience, a knowledge of medical issues, an ability to handle complex information and access to medical experts. At Timoney Knox, our medical malpractice attorneys meet all those requirements.
Failure to diagnose: When a doctor fails to diagnose cancer, the proper treatment can be delayed and the case can become far more serious. If an emergency room fails to recognize a heart attack or stroke and sends the patient home, the damage can be life threatening.
Surgical errors: Did the surgical team fail to count instruments and sponges and leave something in the wound? Was there an anesthesia error? Did the surgeon perform the wrong surgery?
Pharmacy errors: When medicines have similar names, that can cause a mistake. Was the prescription mixed up with another patient? Did a nurse give the wrong dosage?
Medical mistakes can cause serious injuries. When doctors and hospitals are held accountable, victims are compensated and the doctor or hospital may learn to practice safer medicine. If you feel that medical negligence caused you injury or caused a loved one's wrongful death, contact a medical malpractice lawyer at the Timoney Knox law firm. Our offices are located in Fort Washington, Lancaster and Mount Carmel. However, we also service clients in the surronding cities of Philadelphia, PA.
