Unfortunately, over 1 million people are injured annually due to medical negligence. This type of professional negligence can result from the carelessness of a doctor, nurse, or any other health care provider. Despite this high number, medical malpractice cases remain some of the most difficult and complicated types of cases. That is because hospitals and health care companies spend a large amount of money on risk management, “red flagging” possible medical errors which may lead to litigation. Let our experienced attorneys represent you and help navigate through this complicated area of the law. Our experience attorneys know how to achieve success with these types of claims and regularly use knowledgeable medical professionals in assisting with cases. Some cases include:

• Birth Injury;
• Brain Injury;
• Wrongful death;
• Failure to Diagnose;
• Failure to Warn
• Hospital Malpractice;
• Medication Error;
• Surgical Malpractice;
• Delay in Diagnosis.

A disability affects the whole family and can substantially impair your ability to work on a daily basis. If you are disabled, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits or monthly Supplemental Security Income benefits from the federal government. While you can apply for disability on your own, the benefits of hiring an attorney are many, and worth going over in some detail. One of the most important reasons to hire an attorney is that your chances of being approved are significantly increased. The statistics show that, all things being equal, Social Security is more likely to approve an applicant who’s represented by legal counsel than one who isn’t. Another important reason for hiring an attorney is that the costs are pretty straightforward: disability law attorneys’ fees are regulated by the government and attorneys are usually paid only after the claim has been approved. Let Rothenberg & Campbell help you with your social security disability claim today.
