Why should I get a medical malpractice lawyer?

There are many reasons to get an experienced medical malpractice or medical negligence lawyer. When you are injured as a result of medical malpractice or medical negligence, your claim can be extremely complex and difficult to handle. On your own, you would have to sort through medical records and insurance adjusters who will try to save your healthcare provider as much money as possible. Something could be easily overlooked and you may not get a settlement that will actually meet all of your needs.

If you suffer a medical malpractice injury, you may be able to recover compensation for all your losses, including:

• Present and future medical bills
• Loss of wages
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability

A medical malpractice or medical negligence lawyer can help stop your medical malpractice claim from becoming a nightmare.

What can I file a medical malpractice or medical negligence claim for?

Medical negligence and medical malpractice can occur anytime you are in the care of a medical professional. This means that anytime there is an error resulting in injury or harm to you can constitute a medical malpractice claim. The Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo, L.L.P. represent victims of:

• Wrongful Death
• Brain Injuries
• Cerebral Palsy
• Erbs Palsy
• Surgical Error
• Hypoxia (Lack of Oxygen)
• Failure to Diagnose

If I've signed a consent form, can I still file a medical malpractice lawsuit?

Yes. Simply because you sign a consent form for any surgical or other medical procedure, does not mean that the doctor or medical professional has a license to commit medical malpractice. A consent form is not the same as a waiver. A consent form simply says that you understand the risks associated with your procedure.

If you have been injured while in the care of a medical professional, contact the medical malpractice lawyers at the Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo, L.L.P. to schedule a free initial consultation.

Can I file my medical malpractice or medical negligence claim anytime after I am injured?

No. Each state has a statute of limitations regarding the filing of medical malpractice and medical negligence claims. This means that each state allows a different amount of time in which you can file your medical malpractice claim and recover damages. If you wait too long to file your medical malpractice claim, it may no longer be applicable, and you can no longer recover any of the compensation you were once entitled to.
