Patient Safety is at risk with the current practice of modern medicine. The trusted physician-patient relationship has been replaced with impersonal medical management. The result is all too frequent injury or death caused by health care providers and the system they are forced to work in. When a loved one is seriously injured through the negligence of medical providers, the effect on the family can be devastating. There are concerns about mounting medical bills and the long-term effects of serious injuries, including brain damage, the loss of a limb and the loss of ability to return to work. Often doctors will insist the situation was unavoidable - if that simply does not seem right, it is extremely important that you speak to a Board Certified Trial Lawyer with experience in medical malpractice. Proving what went on behind closed hospital doors is a daunting challenge and should only be undertaken by a lawyer with experience in the field of medical negligence. We bring you that experience.
All medical malpractice cases are handled on contingency. We do not get paid until you do.
At the Law Office of Tom Kemmy, we understand the field of medical negligence. The laws that apply to hospitals and physicians are different than the laws that apply to any other business or person who causes harm-nearly every law concerning a health care provider is aimed at freeing them from their negligent conduct so that they can continue to break the rules and harm others without consequence. Tom Kemmy has spent more than 25 years successfully representing patients and families injured from medical negligence, and we are determined to fight for the highest possible compensation due under the law. Early in Tom's career he was an insurance defense counsel and was hired to defend doctors, nurses and hospitals. Tom's knowledge of the defense side of litigation proves beneficial when representing injured patients today.
Failure to Follow Patient Safety Rules
When a medical professional fails to follow the basic rules of patient safety and causes physical injury to a patient that professional is responsible for the harm. Our jury system allows for the recovery of damages to repair the harm when it can be repaired, and help and support the injured patient as they try to cope with loss of health or loss of the life and support of a loved one. The medical community has a name for injuries caused by medical negligence-hospital acquired injury. There are many types of medical injury claims, including the following:
- Anesthesia accidents
- Birth injuries (brain damage, organ damage, etc)
- Doctor negligence
- Hospital negligence and Wrongful Death
- Misdiagnosis, delayed in or failure to diagnosis (heart attack, infection, etc)
- Nursing home malpractice (falls, pressure ulcers, hip fracture)
- Pharmacy malpractice
- Surgical malpractice
Home Health Care Negligence
Home health care is a growing industry. Elderly people and people recently discharged from a hospital often receive care at home from a home health agent, a home health aide or a nurse's aide.
There have been numerous cases where patients have died or suffered serious injuries at the hands of home health care providers, who are often poorly trained, unqualified and inadequately supervised.
