Medical and Pharmaceutical Injuries

Dallas Personal Injury Attorney

Individuals who are sick or experiencing pain turn to hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare professionals to help them feel better. Patients trust medical professionals to provide safe, quality care. Unfortunately, healthcare practitioners do make mistakes do happen and sometimes fail to exercise proper judgment.

Medical errors are one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., according to reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Shocking numbers show that roughly 99,000 Americans are fatal victims of preventable hospital infections on a yearly basis. These individuals only do as they are told and seek medical attention for an injury or illness, and as a result, they end up dying.

What is medical malpractice?

When doctors, nurses, or surgeons make a mistake while caring for an individual, it is often classified as medical malpractice. The mistakes can have serious or even fatal consequences for the victim. Negligence often plays a role in medical malpractice and at The Daspit Law Firm, we investigate to determine exactly what caused you or your loved one harm.

Common types of medical malpractice include:

• Surgical errors
• Psychiatric abuse
• Misdiagnosis
• Failure to diagnose
• Prescription errors

Contact our firm if you or a loved one was hurt or killed as a result of medical malpractice. The negligent party should be held accountable for their actions, and we work with you to help make this a reality.

Pharmaceutical Errors

The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar industry focused on processing and developing new medications for different illnesses or pain. The problem arises when prescription drug manufacturers are more concerned with releasing their newest prescription without the proper testing time required to ensure the drug is safe for consumers. Oftentimes, individuals are impacted by the side effects of prescription drugs and end up with a worse condition than before. This is a time in which a Dallas personal injury lawyer is necessary to battle the giant pharmaceutical companies responsible for their errors. When an individual is injured or killed due to prescription medications, the victim or surviving family may be entitled to compensation through a product liability claim against the pharmaceutical company.
