Medical Malpractice
At Zenstein, Gallant & Parlow, P.C., the objective is to obtain full compensation for those individuals who are injured by dangerous, unsafe or defective products, or by the negligence of a company or person, including medical malpractice.
Medical professionals traditionally take the Hippocratic Oath when they graduate and swear that they will adhere to ethical practice of medicine. In addition, U.S. hospitals and medical clinics take strict measures to ensure that patients receive the best possible care and healing, but physicians and other medical personnel, like all people, often make mistakes. The majority of these mistakes could have been avoided if they been more careful or followed procedures.
Fortunately, most of these medical mistakes do not lead to serious injury or loss of life. However, since doctors and nurses are entrusted with the medical care of others, they are held to a higher standard. If you or a family member has suffered major injuries due to medical malpractice, our firm can help you.
Even if a medical outcome is poor, a doctor would not be considered negligent if he or she followed generally accepted medical protocols. When a doctor makes an incorrect diagnosis, fails to treat a patient's condition promptly, issues a wrong prescription, or neglects to administer appropriate care, the patient's health may be negatively impacted.

The injured patient and his or her family may be struggling to pay medical bills and other costs. In cases of permanent disability, the injured patient may never be able to resume full-time work. In addition, their families can endure lasting emotional pain and suffering.
