When you go to a doctor, hospital, or medical professional, you trust that they’ll help — not harm — you. Unfortunately, that trust is sometimes broken. Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare providers fail to follow accepted standards of care, leading to devastating injuries or death.
At Wolfe Trial Lawyers, we stand up for patients and families whose lives have been changed by medical negligence. Attorney Brandon Wolfe believes that no one — not even a major hospital or corporate healthcare provider — is above accountability. Our mission is to uncover the truth, fight for justice, and help our clients rebuild their lives after betrayal by the medical system.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider’s careless or reckless actions cause harm to a patient. It’s not just about a bad outcome — it’s about a breach of duty. Common examples of medical negligence include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious conditions such as cancer or infections
- Surgical errors, including wrong-site surgery or leaving instruments inside a patient
- Medication errors involving incorrect drugs or dosages
- Anesthesia mistakes during surgery or procedures
- Failure to monitor a patient’s vital signs or respond to complications
- Birth injuries caused by improper delivery techniques or delayed C-sections
- Negligent emergency room care or discharge without proper testing
These mistakes can lead to lifelong disabilities, unnecessary suffering, or the loss of a loved one. Wolfe Trial Lawyers helps victims and families demand justice for the harm caused by those they trusted most.
Proving Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice cases are complex and require extensive investigation. To succeed, the victim must prove four key elements:
- Duty of care: The provider had a responsibility to treat you according to medical standards.
- Breach of duty: The provider failed to meet that standard.
- Causation: That failure directly caused your injury or condition.
- Damages: You suffered harm as a result — physically, emotionally, and financially.
Our firm works with top medical experts to analyze your treatment records, identify where care went wrong, and testify about how proper actions could have prevented your injuries.
Common Consequences of Medical Negligence
Medical errors can cause life-altering harm, including:
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Worsening of existing conditions
- Severe infections or sepsis
- Brain or spinal injuries
- Birth trauma and developmental disorders
- Wrongful death
The physical and emotional pain caused by these mistakes is often compounded by financial strain. Wolfe Trial Lawyers fights for compensation to cover:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Wrongful death and loss of companionship
