A RECORD OF RESULTS
Dan Joseph has practiced for over 45 years and devotes a significant portion of his practice to medical negligence litigation. He has recovered damages in a range of malpractice cases:
A surgeon performing a colostomy procedure on a patient and tied the wrong end of the bag. Fecal matter seeped inside the patient, causing sepsis (blood poisoning) and eventually the woman’s death.
During treatment for an infection, X-rays of a patient revealed early stage cancer. Through tragic bungling, the man was not informed until seven months later that he had cancer by then the disease had incurably spread.
A podiatrist used the wrong surgical screws in repairing a broken foot. The screws were too small and came out of their settings, resulting in severe pain and incorrect healing. The client is now disabled, and has since endured four more surgeries.
Even in cases of glaring negligence, extracting compensation is a fight. Neither doctors nor hospitals want to admit a mistake – it lands Doctors on a national registry and raises their malpractice insurance. Litigation can drag out for 3 or 4 years. Increasingly, Mr. Joseph has used mediation to resolve medical malpractice claims. While a jury trial might lead to a larger award, it could just as likely end in zero compensation. Mediation is quicker, private and gives victims a greater say in the outcome.
We are selective about the cases we take, but there may be more to your case than you realize.
