The Hippocratic Oath requires medical professionals to do no harm. Yet it is all too common in our society that errors made by doctors, nurses, surgeons and other medical professionals become subject to elaborate cover-ups when no one wants to accept responsibility for mistakes that have occurred. Hospitals may be partially responsible by creating a culture of negligence through improper procedural safeguards or making their black-listing employees who accept responsibility for misconduct. Doctors may fear unemployment or higher malpractice premiums. But denying accountability is tantamount to refusing to do justice for the victim.
The law office of Smyth & Cioffi, LLP will not stand for deliberate or intentional misconduct on the part of the medical profession—especially where the doctor, nurse or hospital denies liability despite clear evidence to the contrary. Our attorneys are tough litigators and skilled negotiators, who hold the victims interests' above those who are clearly in the wrong. We offer our clients the comfort and counsel they need to obtain just compensation for their injuries.
Lying in a hospital bed, many patient complaints are dismissed as par for course when doctors and nurses rely purely on physical symptomology to spot possibly serious medical conditions. By the time physical symptoms become readily apparent, infections and other complications make the medical episode life-threatening. Some victims do not survive. All that is left to the victim's family is an autopsy report, stating the cause of death. There is no true cure for the sheer injustice of an injury or death that could have been reasonably prevented with adequate medical care—but the law recognizes that families of such victims are entitled to compensation through wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits.
At the law office of Smyth & Cioffi, our attorneys take pride in giving victims of medical malpractice and their families a voice through medical malpractice and wrongful death lawsuits. These voices rise together to ask that hospital how they could let such injustice occur when a readily available procedural safeguard could easily have avoided unnecessary pain and suffering. Lawsuits serve to warn other patients of potentially dangerous doctors or hospitals who fail to take adequate precaution to protect their patients.
