AREAS OF PRACTICE |
We often trust medical professionals with our most intimate details, physical ailments and sometimes even our lives. We believe that medical professionals will look out for our best interests in order to heal our ailments. However, when a medical professional violates our trust, the road to recovery can be long and often frustrating. To make matters worse, the laws of the State of Nevada have made pursuing recovery from medical professionals for these injuries difficult, expensive and extremely time consuming.
At Rosenblum Law Offices, our legal team has over ten years of experience in handling medical malpractice cases. We previously worked for insurance companies who insured physicians and hospitals and are knowledgeable of the tactics utilized by insurance companies to defend medical malpractice claims. Our firm is dedicated to representing individuals injured by medical professionals and we have assisted patients and their families in successfully resolving their cases.
While medical malpractice is responsible for over 225,000 injuries each year, it is important to remember that a bad result is not always due to medical negligence. Even more important, is hiring an attorney who knows and understands the difference. At Rosenblum Law Offices, we have experience in handling the following areas of medical malpractice: |

| BIRTH INJURIES |
| The birth of a child should be a memorable moment and ecstatic experience. When a medical provider such as a physician, midwife, anesthesiologist, nurse, or hospital fail to provide appropriate care during the labor and delivery, prenatal or postnatal period, with resulting catastrophic birth injury, mothers and fathers are immediately placed in a position they never thought possible: How can I care for my newborn infant and ensure they get the medical attention and treatment they deserve? Can I guarantee that my child will receive the resources and encouragement needed to help him or her reach their full potential? How can I be sure that if I cannot care for my child, that there is someone else to take care of my child’s needs? At Rosenblum Law Offices, we can help you find solutions to these and any other concerns you may have if you and your child have been the victim of physician, hospital or nursing negligence.

| WRONGFUL DEATH |
|
| |
| SURGICAL DISFIGUREMENT |
Errors made by surgeons, like mistakes made by any other doctor, can have serious consequences. Some surgical errors can lead to permanent deformity or disfigurement requiring years of corrective therapy, additional surgeries and often lifelong dependence on pain medication. Some incidents of surgical disfigurement may even cause death. In addition to any physical consequence of a surgical disfigurement, these types of injuries often lead to emotional devastation and may result in a patient developing emotional distress, insomnia, social phobias and depression. Victims who suffer these horrible consequences have the right to seek damages to pay for medical costs, pain and suffering and other costs.
Like other areas of medical
negligence, a victim of surgical
disfigurement has only a short time
frame to bring their claims for recovery
against a medical professional. If you
have suffered a surgical disfigurement
or deformity as a result of medical
error, do not wait to contact an
attorney. Call us today so that we can investigate your case and take immediate action. For a free consultation you can reach us at (702) 433-2889.

A medication error is medical malpractice whenever the patient is harmed by the error and the error is the result of negligence on the part of the doctor or medical establishment. The most common types of medication errors involve: |

| |
|
Providing a patient with wrong volume of a medication - also known as overmedicating, overdosing or |
| |
|
under-medicating a patient |
|
|
|
| |

| SPINAL CORD INJURIES |
| A spinal cord is damage to the spinal cord that can result in such things as loss of feeling or mobility. Damage to the spinal cord can be caused by trauma such as an automobile accident or slip and fall. Spinal cord injuries may also occur gradually as a result of kyphosis, sclerosis, congenital abnormalities or disease. In medical malpractice cases, doctor, nursing and other medical negligence may also cause further trauma to the spine by: |
| |
| |
|
Performing an improper procedure resulting in spinal cord damage |
|
|
|
| |
|
Failing to utilize appropriate monitoring during spine surgery resulting in damage to the nerves of the spinal cord |
|
|
|
| |
|
Improper chiropractic manipulation of the spine |
|
|
|
| |
|
Improper positioning of a patient during spine surgery |
|
|
|
| |
|
Improper placement of hardware during spine surgery |
|
|
|
| |
|
Failure to timely and appropriately recognize hematomas to the spine which can result in paralysis and loss of |
| |
|
function |
|
| |
| Spinal injuries dramatically impact the lives of victims and their families. In many cases, these injuries leave victims permanently disabled or in need of months, years, and, in some instances, a lifetime of rehabilitation, therapy, and care. If you are someone you know has suffered a spinal cord injury and you suspect malpractice was involved do not wait to contact a lawyer. Call us today so that we can investigate your case and take immediate action. For a free consultation you can reach us at (702) 433-2889.

| MISDIAGNOSIS |
| Misdiagnosis is among the most common type of medical malpractice case. A misdiagnosis can occur when a medical professional fails to correctly diagnosis a patient's injury or ailment, delays diagnosis or fails to provide any diagnosis at all, resulting in harm or even death to the patient. There are also times when a doctor has treated a patient for a condition they do not have. Most often the types of cases involving a misdiagnosis include: breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, heart attack and appendicitis. These situations can result in medical problems for a patient that range from minor to severe and even permanent disabilities. If you or a loved one has received a misdiagnosis from a medical professional, do not wait to contact an attorney. At Rosenblum Law Offices we can assist you in getting the compensation you deserve as a result of a misdiagnosis. Call us today so that we can investigate your case and take immediate action.

| BRAIN INJURIES |
| Brain injuries can be devastating, life changing, and generally, are not obvious to the casual observer. A traumatic brain injury is often referred to as the “silent epidemic” and the “invisible injury” because victims sometimes are not aware that something is wrong. While many think of brain injuries in the context of automobile accidents, catastrophic accidents, and falling object cases, brain injuries often occur as a result of negligent medical or nursing care. Some examples of brain injuries include subdural hematoma, concussion, and loss of oxygen to the brain tissue. These injuries can be caused as a result of medication errors, surgical errors, and even nursing neglect. If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury as the result of a medical professional's negligence, it is important that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible. The less time you allow to lapse before hiring a lawyer, the less a chance you have of forgetting details that could be crucial to winning your case. Call us today so that we can investigate your case and take immediate action. For a free consultation you can reach us at (702) 433-2889.

| DOCTOR/HOSPITAL NEGLIGENCE |
|
|
| |
| HOSPITAL ACQUIRED INFECTIONS |
|
Statistics show that one in twenty
patients visiting a hospital will
acquire some type of infection as a
result of the visit. Worse yet, there is
a very real possibility of that
infection leading to death. A hospital
acquired infection is defined as an
infection occurring in a hospital
patient that is not associated with the
patients admitted diagnosis. Usually, if
an infection occurs in a patient
forty-eight hours after being admitted
to the hospital, it is likely the
infection was hospital acquired. Every
hospital is aware of the risks of
hospital acquired infections and must
take appropriate precautions to minimize
the risk a patient may be exposed to
such infections. Additionally, doctors
and other hospital staff must be able to
recognize the symptoms of a hospital
acquired infection in patients and
provide proper treatment early enough to
prevent injury to the patient. If you or
someone you know has experienced an
injury, prolonged hospitalization or
even death as a result of a hospital
acquired infection, contact an attorney
today. Call us today so that we can investigate your case and take immediate action. For a free consultation you can reach us at (702) 433-2889.
