Our Dallas wrongful death lawyers will handle your claim with the utmost compassion, providing you with caring, personalized representation in your time of need.
What Constitutes Wrongful Death?
If your loved one was killed as a result of the negligence or misconduct of another, the courts recognize it as a wrongful death. Generally, only the spouse or children are eligible to receive compensation in a wrongful death claim. At times, parents may be able to recover damages as well.
In wrongful death cases involving medical malpractice, you must be able to demonstrate that the medical professional’s negligent actions directly resulted in the death of your loved one. Common causes of medical malpractice wrongful death include:
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Emergency room errors
- Misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, or failure to diagnose a condition
- Refusal to treat based on patient’s ability to pay
A Complex Area of Law
Medical malpractice wrongful death claims are highly complex and require an extensive understanding of the medical principles involved. Your lawyer must be able to evaluate medical records and interview expert witnesses in order to prove the existence of malpractice.
Our Dallas wrongful death attorneys possess a unique skill set which distinguish us from many other attorneys in the area. One of our lawyers, Andrew Gross, is a licensed medical doctor. His advanced medical background enables him to spot evidence of malpractice which other lawyers would not normally detect. If you have a medical malpractice wrongful death claim, Polewski & Associates can help you receive the compensation you deserve for your loss.
