When healthcare providers make mistakes, the effects can alter the lives of their patients and their patients’ families. Though doctors, nurses, dentists, and other healthcare providers are trained professionals, they are not perfect, and are sometimes even negligent. When a patient suffers an injury as a result, the healthcare provider may be liable for medical malpractice. At Siegfried & Jensen, our medical malpractice lawyers in the Salt Lake City, Utah area provide exceptional representation for those who have been injured in these types of situations.
Medical malpractice claims are valid when a healthcare provider has failed to meet the applicable standard of care in a particular case. Standards of care are set by state regulations and by the medical industry. If a patient believes that he or she has been injured while under the care of a medical professional, it is important for him or her to seek counsel immediately. The medical malpractice lawyers at our office in the Salt Lake City, Utah area can determine whether a breach of care standards led to the injury and help the victim file a medical malpractice claim.

While there are inherent risks associated with all surgical procedures, some errors during surgery can be prevented with reasonable precautions. Therefore, if medical providers fail to prevent certain mistakes, they may be liable for medical malpractice. Common medical malpractice claims related to surgical mistakes involve wrong site surgery, incorrect incisions, organ perforation or puncture, and the use of unsanitary instruments that cause infection.

Physicians are entrusted with the health and well-being of their patients. Unfortunately, the physician’s level of skill, training, and attention to detail may not always warrant that trust. Too often doctors make mistakes that could have been avoided. Medical negligence claims related to physician errors can be filed when a doctor’s carelessness, inexperience, or lack of prudence results in patient injury. The medical malpractice lawyers of Siegfried & Jensen can help victims receive fair compensation for their injuries.

Cerebral palsy is a debilitating condition that occurs when, during child birth, the infant does not receive enough blood or oxygen in the brain, resulting in varying degrees of brain damage. Cerebral palsy may be unavoidable in some cases, but when it is the result of improper pregnancy treatment, an incorrect diagnosis of pregnancy complications, or the mishandling of the infant during delivery, a cerebral palsy medical malpractice claim may be warranted.

When a physician fails to diagnose a medical condition correctly, the results can be devastating to the patient.

If the failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis could have been avoided, a personal injury lawsuit handled by our medical malpractice lawyers ensures that the patient’s rights will be protected. Siegfried & Jensen has been handling medical negligence claims related to misdiagnoses in the state of Utah for more than a decade.

The attorneys of Siegfried & Jensen can help you with a medical malpractice claim involving prescription errors.
