Medical errors kill or disable almost 100,000 Americans every year. Doctors and medical professionals are human, but when the lives of our loved ones rest in their hands, we trust that they will exercise the highest standards of care. When they fail to use proper care, people get hurt. Common types of medical malpractice cases include misdiagnosis, prescription errors, birth injuries (including cerebral palsy), post-surgical mistakes, and emergency room errors. Billings Attorney Robert H. Skaggs knows how to research and prosecute medical malpractice cases successfully, and how to prove wrongdoing.

Malpractice occurs when a doctor improperly treats or diagnoses a medical condition, which results in an injury to the patient. Often malpractice is committed by a doctor or hospital's lack of action, such as failure to prescribe a necessary test or otherwise performing an incomplete evaluation. Many times, certain diseases like prostate and cervical cancers are misdiagnosed and cost patients their lives. Other examples of medical malpractice include birth injuries, surgical mistakes, emergency room negligence and failure to diagnose.

However, simply because there was a poor result does not mean there was medical malpractice. Although sometimes the malpractice is obvious, in the majority of cases there are complex medical issues that need to be thoroughly evaluated.

When medical malpractice results in a death or injury that could have been prevented, friends and family members are left with unanswered questions. The Skaggs Law Firm can help you and your family find out what went wrong. Investigating a medical mistake that led to injury or wrongful death may give the victim or his or her family the money they need to survive.
