Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Springfield MA
When a visit to the doctor or a stay in the hospital results in a worsening of your medical condition, medical negligence may have played a role. When a medical provider, a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, surgeon, or anesthesiologist fails to follow accepted standards of care and an injury results, you, the victim, may be able to seek financial compensation.
Help for Victims of Medical Negligence
In medical malpractice cases, the truth can be hard to find. Doctors and hospitals try to cover up errors or obscure what really happened. Patients who already had serious medical problems may not realize that a surgical mistake or emergency room error occurred. Also, few people really understand the complex issues involved in medical care.
The medical malpractice attorneys of Raipher, P.C. have a long record of success in helping victims of medical malpractice get answers and compensation. We have a team of experienced attorneys dedicated to handling these cases: Raipher Pellegrino, Joseph Pellegrino, and Matthew J. King.
When appropriate, we consult with medical experts who can properly assess medical records and determine the correct standard of care. We investigate the past performance of the doctor, hospital or medical professional to see whether there has been a pattern of questionable practice. We do what it takes to get to the truth, and to get you fair compensation for your losses.
