When you visit a medical care provider, you have the right to expect that your provider will fulfill the standard of care. That means the provider will be at least as competent as a medical caregiver with similar training and experience would under the same circumstances.
Unfortunately, not every care provider lives up to their obligations. When you suffer harm because of your caregiver’s failures, you have the right to pursue a medical malpractice claim. Gill Ports Hoste LLC will help you do that.
Malpractice claims are complicated because understanding liability is complicated. Doctors and other care providers may try to argue that the care they provided was reasonable and that anyone could have made the mistakes they did. Or they may try to claim that you’d have experienced the same outcome even if they hadn’t made an error.
You will have to prove medical negligence occurred and caused you harm if you want to recover compensation for your losses. Gill Ports Hoste LLC can help you to do that. Our Aurora medical malpractice attorneys have spent decades holding medical care providers liable for the losses they cause, and we are ready to bring our legal experience to your case.
To find out how we can help you, contact us and schedule your free consultation today. We can evaluate your case and explain the services we offer, and we never charge legal fees unless we win.
Do you need an Aurora medical malpractice attorney?
Finding a medical malpractice attorney is very important when you’ve suffered harm because of a medical care provider’s failures. It’s important that you have a legal advocate representing you because:
- An attorney can help you obtain evidence. You may need to subpoena medical records and compel witnesses to testify on your behalf about how your care provider’s behavior fell short of the professional standard of care.
- Your attorney can connect you to experts. Because malpractice claims hinge on technical questions like whether a reasonable doctor would have acted the same way your doctor did, you need experts who can assess what went wrong and provide testimony to help prove your case.
- Your attorney will help you identify all defendants. Often, you won’t just want to take legal action against the provider who hurt you. You may be able to pursue a claim against their employer under vicarious liability rules. Hospitals and clinics may have more insurance coverage and financial resources to provide you with compensation.
- You need help dealing with insurers. Medical malpractice insurers often deny legitimate claims or try to pay as little as possible. You need an advocate who the insurance companies respect. Gill Ports Hoste LLC is known for not backing down and for tough negotiating skills, so we can take a tough stand with insurers to maximize the chances of getting the money you deserve.
- You may need representation in court. If your malpractice claim doesn’t settle, you’re going to need an advocate to file court paperwork, present evidence in accordance with the rules, and make a compelling claim for damages. We have litigation experience and can go the distance in court.
An Aurora medical malpractice lawyer at Gill Ports Hoste LLC can do all that and more. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for malpractice victims over the years, and we have a detailed understanding of how to build solid claims to get clients the money they deserve.
Types of medical malpractice
There are different kinds of medical mistakes, all of which can cause you to experience serious damage to your health. Gill Ports Hoste LLC has represented clients damaged by many different kinds of medical error, including but not limited to:
- Surgical mistakes: Such as operating on the wrong patient, operating on the wrong body part, or leaving an instrument inside of a patient.
- Lab errors: Including samples being contaminated, diagnostic mistakes being made, lab results being mixed up, or the wrong type of testing being ordered.
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Doctors may not diagnose your medical issues properly, causing you to experience a delay in treatment or to be treated for the wrong medical conditions. This can lead to progression of disease or other devastating outcomes.
- Medication errors: When you are given the wrong drug or the wrong dose of a medication, or your doctor fails to ensure that your drugs don’t interact badly, you could experience serious damage to your health.
- Hospital or clinic infections: Sometimes, proper safety protocols are not followed, and you can develop infections that worsen your condition or that are difficult or expensive to treat.
- Botched procedures: When treatment is not administered properly, this could lead to further damage to your health or progression of disease.
These are just some of the many different things that routinely go wrong when doctors and other healthcare providers fail to fulfill their professional obligations. If you or someone you love pays the price for these errors, you can hold your provider and sometimes their employer responsible for the resulting harm.
