Helping People Injured by Negligent Care
When doctors and nursing home workers make mistakes, those mistakes can have serious consequences. Maybe your spinal cord was injured during back surgery. Maybe your cancer got worse because your doctor misdiagnosed it. Maybe your parent fell in the shower because nobody was there to escort him or her.
I'm attorney Richard Tallo, and I help clients throughout Rhode Island pursue claims against doctors, hospitals and nursing homes for negligent care. Contact me at my offices in Providence to learn more about how I can help you hold the responsible parties accountable. I will charge no attorneys fees unless I am successful at helping you recover for your injuries.
Seeking Compensation for Medical Malpractice
Doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals and institutions have professional standards of care they must follow when providing medical treatment to patients. When they fail to do so, their mistakes can have serious consequences, including:
- Birth injuries
- Surgical errors
- Failure to diagnose illnesses
When a doctor's negligence can be proven to be the cause of a life-altering injury to a patient, that doctor can be held liable for medical malpractice. Not every medical injury is caused by malpractice, so it is necessary to gather evidence as soon as possible.
I am experienced at moving quickly to obtain documentation — including expert reports — in support of medical malpractice claims. If I believe you have a valid claim, my firm will invest the necessary resources up front to ensure that you have access to the experts and information you need to pursue your case.
Holding Nursing Homes Accountable
Nursing homes are entrusted with the care of people who cannot care for themselves. However, many of them unfortunately do not hire the most competent people to provide that care. Common situations involving nursing home negligence include the following:
- Bed sores
- Falls from beds and in showers
- Improper medication
If your parent or other loved one has been injured due to neglect by nursing home personnel, I can help you hold the nursing home responsible. Contact me to discuss your options with an experienced trial lawyer. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Se habla español.
