Patients put their lives into the hands of healthcare providers each day. Whether it is a doctor, nurse, technician or other hospital staff, patients rely on healthcare providers to operate by the standard of care. Unfortunately, no healthcare provider is perfect and mistakes are made that can lead to patient injury or death.

Some of the most common types of healthcare provider error include:

• Doctor error
• Nursing error
• Hospital error
• Anesthesia error
• Surgical error
• Pharmaceutical error

When mistakes happen and patients are injured or killed, healthcare providers may be liable for medical malpractice. We have represented hundreds of medical malpractice victims since 1992 and may be able to help you receive compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys received a $7.62 million verdict for the family of a new mother who suffered postpartum bleeding. Her doctor was mistaken in ignoring her complaints and she bled to death as a result of this error.

In another case, Levin & Perconti won a $5 million verdict against a doctor and medical resident for the death of a 14–year–old client with quadriplegia. The doctors mishandled our client's breathing tube and lost her airway, leading to her death.
