Nursing and Medication Errors
Representing New Jersey and New York Residents Injured by Nursing or Medication Errors
Nurses are on the front lines of patient care. Just like doctors and other medical professionals, nurses are held to a high standard of care when treating people in clinics, doctor's offices and hospitals. They are required to adhere to this standard at all times.
At Francis X. Dorrity Law Offices, in Jersey City, we represent people seriously injured or killed because of a nursing malpractice or a medication error. For over 35 years, our law firm has been helping New Jersey and New York residents injured by medical malpractice.
Nursing Malpractice and Medication Errors - Serious Medical Malpractice
Nurse malpractice can relate to negligence involving nurses, lab technicians, orderlies, nurses' aids and nurse practitioners. Generally, it involves almost anyone in the medical community besides the doctor.
There are many ways in which a nurse can seriously injure you or a family member — some of the more common examples include:
- Negligently monitoring patients
- Failing to notify doctors
- Failing to comply with hospital procedures
- Medication errors like overmedicating
- Overdose and misdiagnosis
We are not one of those law firms that encourage clients to accept the first settlement offer. Instead, we thoroughly prepare each case and confidently go to trial if that is the best way to get results for our clients. That is why our attorneys handle only a select few cases every year; we are then able to provide the resources and commitment necessary to investigate and litigate complex medical malpractice cases.
If you were seriously injured or a loved one was killed because of nursing negligence or a medication error, feel free to contact one of our lawyers at Francis X. Dorrity Law Offices for a free consultation on your nursing or medication errors case. Home and hospital visits arranged.
