The loss of a loved one is always devastating, but when this loss is the result of medical malpractice, the pain is accompanied by turbulent confusion and several questions. How could this happen? What steps should be followed now? In Georgia, our law firm Castan Lecca & Boeschen specializes in providing answers and solutions to those who have been affected by these tragic situations. Here’s how!
Every year, thousands of people fall victim to medical errors that could have been avoided. From misdiagnoses and surgical errors to failures in medication administration. How medical malpractice can manifest is varied and complex.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the appropriate standard of care, resulting in harm or death to the patient, and identifying it involves understanding medical standards and how they were violated in your specific case.
Seeking justice in medical malpractice cases is a complicated path full of legal challenges. This is where a medical malpractice attorney becomes your greatest ally. From initial case evaluation to representation in court, an experienced attorney can be the difference between fair compensation and helplessness.
Proving that a person died due to medical malpractice involves proving several key components in court.
This process often requires testimony from medical experts who can analyze the care provided and establish how it deviated from accepted standards, leading to the tragic outcome. At Castan Lecca & Boeschen, we use a combination of meticulous research, expert resources, and more than 20 years of legal experience to build strong cases that demonstrate the connection between negligence and the loss suffered by our clients and their families.
We understand the pain and frustration that comes with facing medical malpractice. Our team of expert attorneys is dedicated to fighting for victims’ rights and ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve. Through our experience, empathy, and dedication, we strive to make the legal process as least overwhelming as possible for our clients.
Facing a medical malpractice case is, without a doubt, one of the most difficult trials for any family. However, you don’t have to navigate this process alone.
