West Virginia Medical Malpractice and Hospital Negligence
At the Warner Law Offices, our attorneys represent clients in personal injury and wrongful death litigation for damages suffered as a result of a physician's negligence or a hospital's mistakes. If you believe that you have a claim for medical malpractice, contact a knowledgeable trial lawyer at our Charleston office.
We work closely with medical professionals to investigate, develop, and prove claims of malpractice in such cases as the following:
- Failure to diagnose serious illness such as stroke or heart attack
- Delayed diagnosis of cancer so that effective treatment is too late to save the patient's life
- Errors in surgery, anesthesia, and post-operative treatment
- Birth injuries and obstetric malpractice
- Radiology errors
- Emergency medicine malpractice
- Negligent treatment in hospitals and clinics
- Errors in medication by pharmacists or prescribing doctors
In order to win a medical malpractice case, it is generally necessary to present qualified expert testimony -- usually from a physician with a practice and credentials similar to that of the defendant doctor--indicating that the negligent treatment alleged in the complaint fell short of prevailing standards of care recognized in the profession, and that the negligent treatment resulted in the patient's serious injury or death.
Our experience with complex medical testimony across the full range of our personal injury practice gives us an advantage in the presentation and proof of medical malpractice liability and damages.
