Medical Malpractice

Stamford, Connecticut, Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Nearly one hundred thousand deaths in the U.S. each year are caused by preventable medical errors. Many times more people suffer severe and permanent injuries as a result of medical malpractice. Without medical malpractice lawyers, these numbers likely would be much higher. Medical malpractice cases brought by Silver Golub & Teitell, LLP have caused Connecticut hospitals to implement many changes in their procedures in order to prevent unnecessary injuries and deaths.

Our medical malpractice lawyers represent patients and families throughout Connecticut who have suffered catastrophic injuries or wrongful death due to medical errors and negligence. Our cases include:

• Failure to diagnose cancer or other serious diseases
• Misreading mammograms and X-rays
• Botched surgery, operating on the wrong side of the body, or accidentally removing healthy tissue and body parts
• Birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy or brain damage
• Medication errors or anesthesia errors, such as failure to respond promptly to changes in a patient's condition during surgery
• Failure to identify the signs of a heart attack or stroke
• Spinal cord injuries caused during surgery

Our Approach to Medical Malpractice Cases

Silver Golub & Teitell focuses on helping the people who have suffered the most severe injuries due to medical malpractice. These cases are difficult and expensive, and require the experience and resources only a firm like ours can bring. To these cases, we commit all of our legal and intellectual skills and the full financial resources of our firm.

Our attorneys only bring medical malpractice cases where a defendant's negligence is clear. Many times, patients suffer unfortunate outcomes that are no one's fault. If we find this to be the case, after a thorough investigation, we inform our clients of this without filing a lawsuit. We will never bring a medical malpractice case solely because of a bad outcome alone.

We are known for our advanced, sophisticated trial techniques, which often include the use of focus groups and jury consultants. Our lawyers locate and retain only the most knowledgeable and independent expert witnesses. Most of Silver Golub & Teitell's experts are from outside of Connecticut and are leading authorities in their fields. This approach is necessary in medical malpractice cases, as it is important to rely on the leading experts in the field, regardless of where they are located. Another factor is that many Connecticut doctors simply will not testify against other doctors in the state, irrespective of the merits of the case.

Looking for the Cause of Medical Injuries

To prove that a doctor or hospital is liable for injuries, our trial attorneys devote many hours to investigating the claim, deposing witnesses, examining documents and constructing trial exhibits. We uncover the actions, mistakes, and misdiagnosis that lead to the injury. We focus our efforts first on finding out what went wrong, and then on developing the clearest manner of explaining to a judge and jury, as well as our clients, what went wrong. By this careful examination of medical records, examination of hundreds of pages of depositions, and consultation with the nation's leading medical authorities, we seek to identify the mistakes and prevent them from occurring again.

Caring for the Victim

Our medical malpractice lawyers focus on taking care of our clients, who usually need lifelong services as a result of their injuries. We seek to provide our clients with access to the best medical care and the best medical technology to live as full a life as possible. For families who have lost loved ones and breadwinners, we seek to provide a measure of financial security that was lost as a result of the medical malpractice.
