Healthcare professionals are normally tasked with providing medical care for their patients. However, in cases of medical malpractice the opposite actually happens. Patients may end up suffering serious, or even, life threatening injuries when physicians and other healthcare professionals fail to correctly diagnose patients, administer prompt treatment, implement the correct care or issue the improper prescription.
In the unfortunate event that any of the above occurs, the patient in question and their loved ones end up shouldering the physical, emotional and financial burden of the injuries. Depending on the seriousness of the injuries, the patient’s life may end up being changed forever, like in the case of a permanent injury.
Furthermore, the cost of treating the injuries may prove to be quite a heavy burden on the patient and their loved ones. This financial burden may be further worsened by the loss of the patient’s earning capacity as a result of the effects of the injury, where applicable.
In such cases it is essential to have an experienced and result oriented Athens medical malpractice attorney on your side. If you or your loved one has been injured due to the negligent conduct of a healthcare professional, the Law Firm of Kenneth S. Nugent P.C. has a team of medical malpractice lawyers ready and willing to help you recover damages, such as medical treatment costs and lost wages, as well as the pain and suffering caused by the injuries.
