Medical Malpractice

What is Medical Malpractice?

Doctors, nurses and other health care providers spend a great deal of time learning how to treat a great variety of illnesses and physical maladies. As a group they are professionals dedicated to helping alleviate the ailments that can plague mankind. Unfortunately, health care providers can also make mistakes. When mistakes are made the effects can be devastating. Medical malpractice is an area of law that assists people who have been injured by the mistakes of health care providers, or the survivors of those who may have died as a result of the mistakes of health care providers. Bagolie Friedman will help you obtain a recovery for the results of these mistakes.

If you believe that you have been injured due to the negligence or carelessness of a health care provider, call Bagolie Friedman to discuss this. You should call as soon as it is convenient for you to do so and avoid discussing the matter with strangers, representatives of the health care provider and/or insurance companies.

Attorney fees in medical (health care) malpractice cases are based on a percentage of any amount recovered and are contingent on your receiving a court or jury award or a settlement. In many states the amount of the percentage an attorney may receive is controlled by statute. At Bagolie Friedman we will discuss with you at the very first meeting and will provide you with a written contract so you will be comfortable knowing what the fee arrangement with us will be. At Bagolie Friedman, we do not receive any fee if you do not receive a recovery.

Vaccine Injury Claims

In the first two years of life, a child in the United States should receive ten vaccinations/immunizations against eight major diseases: Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella (German Measles), Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Diphtheria, Tetanus and Haemophilus. Although the majority of children receive vaccinations without any complications or with only mild reactions, a small percentage of children suffer from severe reactions that result in permanent damage including seizure disorders, mental retardation, delayed physical development, behavioral disorders and death.In 1986, Congress passed The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act to establish a program for compensation to be paid on behalf of individuals permanently injured or killed as a result of a childhood vaccine. Only attorneys admitted to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims can represent victims of vaccine injury.
