Medical malpractice occurs much more often than you would think. In fact, one 2016 Johns Hopkins Medicine study ranks medical errors as the third-leading cause of death in our country. Unfortunately, these incidents continue to occur because they are not reported and, worse — are often covered up.
An experienced personal injury attorney can thoroughly investigate your case, uncovering cover-ups of errors that led to catastrophic injures and death.
Scott T. Roby Law P.S.C. works exclusively for the rights of victims of catastrophic injuries in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. I am attorney Scott T. Roby, and I frequently counsel clients in matters involving medical malpractice as well as dangerous medical products, prescription liability and defective medical devices. I have a breadth of experience that includes several large cases — including one before the Kentucky Supreme Court, and another that resulted in a settlement of well over a million dollars.
Types Of Medical Errors And Injuries
Errors and medical mistakes can range from simple documentation issues to issuing the wrong diagnoses or medication. Depending on the incident, there could be multiple parties responsible — from the doctors and nurses to the hospital itself. I have worked on injuries resulting from medical malpractice that have included:
- Birth injuries
- Cerebral palsy
- Brain damage
- Quadriplegia
- Paralysis
- Amputation
- Cardiac arrest, strokes and heart attacks
- Cancer misdiagnosis
- Death
We trust our doctors and medical institutions to restore us to full health, and expect them to not injure us further. If you suspect you have been injured as a result of medical malpractice, contact a personal injury lawyer immediately. Call Scott T.
