Medical Malpractice

If you have experienced injuries as a result of medical negligence or malpractice, we invite you to call our experienced attorneys at 1-800-7500-LAW for a free consultation. Our dedicated attorneys will help you pursue compensation for medical bills, bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses that resulted from improper medical care.

Under the Louisiana Medical Malpractice Act, all medical malpractice claims against qualified health care providers must initially be brought before a medical review panel, which is comprised of three physicians. After the claim has been heard, the panel concludes whether or not the patient did (or did not) receive the appropriate medical care. After the medical review panel issues its findings, the injured party then files his (or her) claim in a traditional court of law.

In addition to the medical review panel’s findings, Louisiana law also dictates how much money you can recover from a negligent health care provider. When you call Irpino Law, you will receive a free consultation regarding this complicated legal process. Our experienced staff can help you understand Louisiana law to ensure you receive the proper compensation and treatment you deserve for your injuries.

Hospital Negligence

Hospital negligence most often involves; clerical errors or omissions in official hospital record-keeping, a failure to provide adequate security, or improper employee policies and training procedures. In cases where hospital negligence has occurred, the hospital or medical center is financially responsible for any damages that may have occurred.

When a hospital, rather than an individual hospital employee, is responsible for a patient’s injuries, an attorney from Irpino Law may be able to help you obtain financial damages for medical bills, loss of income, and other damages.

Injuries to Newborns During Birth

Did you know that injuries to newborns may be the result of medical malpractice? A birth injury is typically caused by one of three things: a pregnancy disorder misdiagnosis, the failure to perform a necessary Cesarean-section birth, or an improper use of forceps or other medical devices to remove the baby from the birth canal.

If your child has suffered a birth-related injury, an experienced medical malpractice attorney from Irpino Law can help you obtain full financial compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other hardships. We understand that a birth injury is a traumatic experience, which is why we encourage you to call us at 1-800-7500-LAW for a free consultation to see how we can help you.
