Medical Malpractice

Connecticut Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Although there have been great advances in modern medicine, there is still much that we do not know or understand about the human body. The law recognizes this fact and the fact that doctors cannot be expected to be perfect, all-knowing, and infallible. They are only expected to meet what has come to be known as "the standards of normal care" which is defined as that level of care, skill and treatment which is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by similar health care providers.

If you suspect that either yourself or a family member has not received appropriate care and has been seriously harmed as a result, contact Barr & LaCava for a free consultation and an honest evaluation of your medical malpractice claim.

Dedication and Experience that Works

At Barr & LaCava,  we will review your medical malpractice case with you. It is important to recognize that not every unexpected medical outcome is due to a doctor's negligence. However, experience with medical malpractice cases has also shown us that doctors and other licensed health care professionals can, and do, make mistakes and need to be held responsible for substandard care. As a firm, our medical malpractice and wrongful death lawsuits involve a wide range of negligence and misconduct, including:

• Obstetric malpractice
• Birth injuries
• Failure to diagnose a treatable cancer or illness
• Failure to diagnose mental illness (psychiatric malpractice)
• Surgical errors
• Fatal drug interactions

In Connecticut, before you can file a medical malpractice claim you must first obtain the written opinion of a doctor with similar expertise who is willing to state that medical malpractice occurred in your case. But because many doctors are hesitant to testify against their peers, this is not always easy to get. Our lawyers can assist in locating appropriate experts, help you find appropriate medical help, and provide you with the kind of strong representation and trial experience you need in these types of cases.
