Medical Malpractice
When you turn to any licensed healthcare provider for treatment, you have the right to expect safe and competent care. Though instances of mistreatment or negligence are relatively rare, there are still far too many doctors, medical staff members, and other caregivers who make mistakes or act with unintentional or willful negligence. Whether in a medical setting or nursing facility, such lapses are responsible for thousands of preventable deaths and injuries each year in Louisiana. At Hunter and Beck, our medical negligence, medical malpractice and birth injury attorneys are skilled trial lawyers with years of collective experience. We will protect your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Medication Errors
There is an epidemic of medication errors in America today. The American Heart Association has noted that “more people in the US are killed by medication errors each year than by highway accidents, breast cancer and AIDS combined.” Negligence Lawyers at Hunter and Beck have successfully represented many victims of devastating medication errors.
Surgical Mistakes
A great deal of faith and trust is placed in the competency of surgeons. While anesthetized in the operating room, patients are in a very vulnerable state and expect that their safety will be closely monitored at all times. In best case scenarios, patients must return to the doctor to have these mistakes corrected. But in more extreme cases, such mistakes can lead to injury and even death. If you have been affected by a surgical mistake, The medical malpractice attorneys at Hunter and Beck will provide you with highly skilled representation.
Hospital Negligence
Doctors are not the only people responsible for a patient’s health. A hospital’s staff must maintain clean, safe facilities, and the administrators must ensure that their staff members are not overworked or too tired to make appropriate decisions when the situation demands. With hospitals in Louisiana busier than ever, medical negligence and malpractice have become increasingly common threats. Though it is in a hospital’s best interest to ensure a safe and professional environment, there will always be those institutions that fall short of the accepted standard. If you have been affected by hospital negligence, the attorneys at Hunter and Beck are ready to represent you.
