Delaware County Medical Malpractice Attorney
When you trust a doctor or hospital with your care, you expect competence, attention, and professionalism. Unfortunately, when medical professionals make mistakes, the consequences can be devastating. Patients can suffer permanent injuries, emotional trauma, and financial hardship — all because of someone else’s negligence.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County medical malpractice lawyers stand up for victims who have been injured by medical errors. We fight for the truth, demand accountability, and pursue full compensation for patients and their families.
Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide the accepted standard of care that a reasonably skilled professional would deliver under similar circumstances. This negligence can take many forms, from misdiagnosing a serious illness to making surgical mistakes or prescribing the wrong medication.
Common examples of medical malpractice include:
- Surgical errors or operations on the wrong body part
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of life-threatening conditions
- Medication and dosage errors
- Anesthesia errors leading to brain damage or death
- Birth injuries to newborns or mothers
- Hospital-acquired infections and poor post-operative care
- Negligent emergency room treatment
Our attorneys know that these cases are deeply personal — and we treat them with the sensitivity and determination they deserve.
Proving Medical Negligence in Pennsylvania
To succeed in a medical malpractice claim, you must establish that:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed.
- The provider failed to meet the standard of care.
- That failure directly caused your injury.
- The injury resulted in damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
Our Delaware County medical malpractice attorneys work closely with independent medical experts to evaluate records, identify negligence, and present a compelling case backed by evidence and testimony.
Common Medical Malpractice Injuries
Medical negligence can cause severe, long-term, or even fatal injuries. Common outcomes include:
- Brain or spinal cord injuries
- Stroke or cardiac complications
- Nerve damage or paralysis
- Organ failure or surgical complications
- Infection and sepsis
- Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy
- Wrongful death
We understand that these injuries can permanently alter the lives of both patients and their families. That’s why we pursue every available avenue of recovery.
Compensation in a Medical Malpractice Claim
Victims of medical malpractice may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses and future healthcare needs
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
Our team will ensure that your settlement or verdict reflects the true scope of your injuries — not what insurance companies claim you deserve.
