Savannah Attorney Stands With Medical Malpractice Victims

November 09, 2023

-

Victims of medical malpractice in Savannah, GA may connect with Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. in order to file a claim and pursue compensation. Having an experienced and resourceful medical malpractice attorney by their side will ensure their case has the best chance of reaching a successful outcome.

The firm wishes it to be known that medical malpractice occurs fairly often — more often than anyone is likely to expect. Most doctors, the firm says, will actually be involved in at least one lawsuit pertaining to their conduct as medical professionals, and surgeons and OB/GYNs are known to experience this at greater rates than other fields. Citing a John Hopkins study, the firm points out that medical error is also the third most common cause of death in the country, and it is estimated to lead to nearly half a million fatalities each year.

If an individual or institution offers healthcare services of some sort, harm that occurs to a patient as a result of their negligence may be constituted as medical malpractice. This applies to a range of professions and fields, including doctors, personal trainers, EMTs, psychologists, dentists, chiropractors and more. Entire organizations may be found responsible for damages on occasion as well, such as care facilities and hospitals.

Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. advises members of the community not to be intimidated if they are victims of medical malpractice. While the at-fault party may belong to a respectable profession, they are still obliged to practice medicine under strict standards, and failure to do so can easily result in dire consequences for a patient. The law acknowledges these consequences by affording victims the opportunity to seek compensation for their pain and suffering.

Further, given the fact that the average person is not familiar with medical procedures, they may hesitate to press forward with a claim based on the belief that their medical provider truly did everything they could. While this is true, and there is no guarantee that following proper procedure will result in a positive outcome for the patient, the firm says such doubts are best addressed by a legal professional whose sole commitment is to their client.

To protect themselves, hospitals and other parties will likely withhold critical information in order to dodge responsibility as much as possible, and it often takes an experienced medical malpractice lawyer to uncover the truth as well as prove negligence in court. Those who believe their treatment or medical procedure caused more harm than expected should therefore report this experience to Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. The firm can help them determine whether the law was broken and how best to proceed in the event medical malpractice can be confirmed.

Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. recognizes that medical malpractice victims will need to focus on their recovery — and the family of those who passed away will prefer to have time to grieve in peace. When entrusted with a case, the firm allows clients to shift focus back to their own lives as they can now rest assured their claim is in the best of hands. Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. will advocate on their behalf and keep them updated as their case progresses.
