Medical Malpractice in Connecticut

Injured patients and their families have the right to obtain money damages for injuries and losses from a health care provider who has committed malpractice. Connecticut law defines medical malpractice as the failure of a health care provider to meet the applicable standard of care in the treatment of a patient. Expert testimony is required to pursue a malpractice claim and we have retained a wide range of medical experts to review cases and participate in the prosecution of medical malpractice claims.

A few examples of medical malpractice cases that we have pursued are:

- Surgical errors
- Failure to diagnose a treatable illness or condition
- Failure to order or conduct appropriate screening or diagnostic tests
- Prescribing the wrong medication or therapy for an illness or condition
- Failure to follow-up after learning of a patient’s condition or illness
- Misinterpreting test results such as lab reports or x-rays
- Failing to refer a patient to an appropriate specialist
- Mislabeling of prescription medication by a pharmacist
