Medical Malpractice

New London, Connecticut Medical Malpractice Attorneys

A failure to follow standard treatment protocols on the part of doctors and other healthcare professionals can result in serious injury and death. In order to bring a medical malpractice case against a doctor, nurse, radiologist or other healthcare professional, a preliminary finding of negligence must be established. At the law office of Suisman Shapiro, our attorneys Matthew Auger and Jack Collins consult medical experts in every field imaginable in reviewing the actions and decisions of healthcare professionals. Our lawyers review video tape footage from the OR or emergency room, review a patient's medical chart and interview attending staff and eyewitnesses. We expose failures at every level, pointing to symptoms or information that should have been taken into account in order to prevent our client's injuries.

Don't assume your injuries were the natural result of unpredictable medical complications - contact medical malpractice attorneys at Suisman Shapiro today to schedule a consultation.

Doctors are expected to follow certain standard treatment protocols when diagnosing medical conditions and treating patients. Depending on the situation, failure to request certain blood tests, MRIs, x-rays or diagnostic procedures can constitute negligence.

Alternatively, miscommunication or a failure to monitor a patient's vital signs can also result in serious injury and death. In each instance, our attorneys - and the medical experts they consult - carefully review why certain decisions were or were not made. We determine if standard treatment protocols were violated and whether vital information was ignored in creating conditions that led to our client's injuries.

Our office has represented numerous clients in regard to medical malpractice cases. We understand the standard of evidence required to establish negligence on the part of healthcare professionals and are prepared to establish your case.
