Damages, Medical Malpractice, Birth Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Brain Damage, Erb’s Palsy and Personal Injuries in Puerto Rico and Chicago
Medical malpractice is a growing social problem that afflicts us all, which has been aggravated by the implementation of health and tort reforms that has taken away from patients the quality and accessibility to medical services needed by them and the ability to be fairly compensated when damaged. As a result of the medical malpractice that occurs every day, patients suffer from chronic physical damages, permanent disability, physical and emotional pain, loss of income, medical expenses and even death.
Most of our cases are related to deaths, cerebral palsy, total disability, disfigurement, dismemberment, trauma or damage at birth, cerebral or spinal damages, and other injuries related to a negligent diagnose or treatment of a medical condition by a doctor or a hospital, including, but not limited to, emergency and surgery rooms.
