If you or someone you love was injured as a result of medical negligence, contact our Pittsburgh law firm to schedule an appointment with an experienced medical malpractice attorney. We can evaluate your injuries and investigate whether competent medical care and treatment could have avoided or minimized your injuries. If we can not reach a fair settlement we are prepared to take your case to trial.

Finding Answers and Justice for Injured Patients

At Richards & Richards, we understand that patients need to know why things didn't go as expected when they received medical care. They may wonder why their cancer wasn't diagnosed sooner, why they are paralyzed after an orthopedic or neurological surgical procedure, why their parent died as a result of a deadly infection while hospitalized, or why their child has cerebral palsy following a difficult birth.

Using our legal and medical knowledge and experience, our medical malpractice attorneys work hard to find the answers to client's questions about their medical treatment. While most poor outcomes are not the result of medical negligence, many people in Pennsylvania and across the country are injured or die every year due to a preventable medical mistake.

Emergency room doctors fail to promptly and properly diagnose and treat patients who are experiencing a stroke or heart attack. Obstetricians fail to properly monitor labor and delivery and the baby suffers brain damage because of oxygen deprivation. Gynecologists fail to test for or diagnose breast or cervical cancer.

When evaluating a potential claim, we carefully review medical records, perform a thorough investigation, and consult with medical experts to determine whether a mistake or deviation from standard care caused a preventable injury.

Because our lawyers are committed to holding doctors and other health care professionals responsible for the damage they cause innocent patients, we are happy to review all types of suspected medical malpractice cases in the Pittsburgh area and throughout Pennsylvania, including the following:

Should You Sue?

Many of our clients are hesitant about seeking legal advice concerning medical care. Would it surprise you to know that it is the result of an orchestrated campaign by insurance companies and corporate health care interests? Please click here for an informational news video.
