Healthcare Negligence Attorneys Serving Little Rock

Claims for medical malpractice, also referred to as medical negligence, arise when a healthcare provider fails to follow the appropriate standard of care in treating patients or making decisions about their treatment. In short, this can mean that the healthcare provider failed to act in a way that other healthcare providers would have in the same or similar circumstances. Medical malpractice can be committed by doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, chiropractors, and any other medical professional that provides health-related services. If you or a loved one has been injured due to negligent treatment by a medical professional, the Little Rock medical malpractice lawyers of Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz are here to evaluate your claim and discuss your legal options. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. For over 30 years, our personal injury law firm has served as the voice for injured victims throughout the South.

Types of Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice encompasses a broad area of Arkansas law that covers many different medical-related acts of negligence. Common forms of negligence in the medical field are as follows:

  • Failure to diagnose a condition, such as cancer
  • Misdiagnosing a condition
  • Failure to treat a condition
  • Surgical errors
  • Child birth injuries
  • Medication errors
  • Anesthesia errors

Proving Your Case for Malpractice

Doctors and nurses, like anyone else, can make mistakes. In order to recover against a medical provider or hospital, you will have to prove that party breached the standard of care while diagnosing or treating you. The standard of care generally depends on the location of the medical treatment, the types of procedures involved, any medications the patient is currently on, any prior medical conditions the patient may have, and personal factors such as age. In most cases brought by a medical malpractice attorney in Little Rock, a medical expert will have to testify in order to show the appropriate standard of care. For example, if a loved one passed away due to complications involving anesthesia, a licensed and qualified anesthesiologist may need to be hired to explain why the anesthesia was incorrectly administered, which in turn caused the wrongful death. As a large regional law firm, we have the resources to retain experts to review medical records and evaluate your case.

Time Limits on Filing Medical Negligence Claims in Arkansas

Under Arkansas law, a person injured due to medical malpractice typically has two years from the date of the negligent act to settle their claim or file a lawsuit in court. This is generally a strict rule unless a foreign object is left in your body. If this is the case, and the object is not discovered and could not reasonably have been discovered within the two year period, the lawsuit may be filed within one year of the date of discovery. Moreover, if the patient is a child nine years or younger, the claim may be brought up until the child turns 11 or up to two years from the medical malpractice action, but there are exceptions if no medical injury was known or could have been discovered prior to the 11th birthday. With technical statutory requirements in place, it is recommended to speak with a medical malpractice lawyer in the Little Rock area as soon as you suspect medical negligence harmed yourself or your parent, spouse, child, or other family member.
