In addition, you may also bring action against a medical device manufacturer or pharmaceutical company as part of your claim.

Medical Malpractice claims include but are not limited to:

Birth trauma
Brain damage
Failure to diagnose cancer
Surgical complications
Defective orthopedic implants
Cosmetic implants
Medication mistakes
Emergency room errors
