Fighting for Full Compensation for Medical and Surgical Harm for Residents of Northern California

Doctors take an oath to do no harm, but mistakes happen nonetheless, causing serious injuries and even death. Since 1955, Haley Law Offices has helped injured patients obtain compensation for injuries inflicted by healthcare providers. Medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult to prosecute because the complexity of modern medicine makes it difficult to prove negligence was the precise cause of a patient’s injury. 

Haley Law Offices is an established and respected firm with the knowledge and resources to manage medical malpractice cases, and to take them all the way to trial when necessary to secure a fair outcome. Call (510) 990-9290 today. 

Comprehensive Legal Support for Medical Errors and Injuries

Haley Law Offices P.C. provides aggressive representation for a wide array of healthcare provider errors, including:

• Anesthesia errors — Problems range from allowing a patient to awaken during surgery to depriving the patient of oxygen, leading to brain injury.
• Birth injuries — Can affect the child or the mother. Common injuries to the baby include Erb’s palsy, cerebral palsy, brain damage from severe hypoxia, and fractured collar bones.
• Failure to monitor — Patients left unattended can unnecessarily succumb to treatable symptoms.
• Medical errors — Primary care physicians and specialists can fail to diagnose symptoms, misread test results, or fail to order necessary tests, allowing a patient’s condition to go untreated.
• Medication errors — Prescribers can make mistakes in ordering medication, assigning the dosage, communicating the order, warning of possible side effects, and failing to check for interactions.
• Surgical negligence — Surgeons can make incision errors that lead to bleeding or nerve damage, leave objects like sponges in the patient’s body, operate on the wrong site or side of a patient, or even perform the wrong procedure.
• Postoperative infection — Unsanitary conditions or failure to observe protocols can spread infection to vulnerable patients during or after surgery.

These, and many other preventable errors, can lead to serious injury and wrongful death.
