Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis of Spinal Cord Injury
Failure to realize and understand the extent of a back injury and to diagnose a spinal cord injury can lead to permanent paralysis. At the Pennsylvania law offices of Caroselli Beachler McTiernan & Conboy, L.L.C., we hold doctors accountable for this critical error by handling medical malpractice lawsuits in Pennsylvania courts.
Our Pennsylvania law firm represents patients who have become paraplegic or quadriplegic after being victimized by medical negligence. Our goal is to help patients recover money damages to compensate them for future medical bills, future lost wages and to pay for needed accommodations.
Choosing Medical Experts
In order to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Pennsylvania courts, a Certificate of Merit is required. The Certificate of Merit states to the court that an expert has reviewed the case, that substandard care occured, and that the substandard care was a substantial cause of the spinal cord injury.
At Caroselli Beachler McTiernan & Conboy, L.L.C., we choose our experts carefully — both when deciding whether or not to file and when developing testimony. Expert witnesses who have testified in hundreds of trials often have their credibility questioned. What are their motives? Are they just involved for financial profit?
At Caroselli Beachler McTiernan & Conboy, L.L.C., we choose highly-qualified experts who have been selective about the cases for which they have testified. This helps us build stronger cases for our clients, and achieve better settlements and verdicts.
In many different medical malpractice cases, our lawyers consult with a broad spectrum of medical experts, including internists, neurologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, pharmacologists, psychiatrists and OB/GYNs, as well as many others.
