Pennsylvania Birth Injury Lawyer
Experienced Representation for All Forms of Medical Negligence
Receiving medical care is not like getting an oil change for your car. Unexpected complications can and do occur because doctors work with people's bodies — each of which is unique. Some drug side effects are the necessary downside of an essential drug regimen. In the emergency room, in surgery or during recovery after surgery, patients may take sudden turns for the worse. When these issues arise, our Pittsburgh medical malpractice attorneys can help.
A worsening of a medical condition or a death during medical treatment is not necessarily the result of negligence on the part of a doctor, surgeon, anesthetist or nurse. However, a detailed investigation sometimes reveals that health care providers have deliberately covered up mistakes made in the course of medical care and treatment.
When someone becomes seriously ill or dies as a result of negligence by doctors, nurses, therapists or health care organizations in the Pittsburgh area, we want to know about it. At Hal Waldman & Associates, our decades of experience have given us the skill and knowledge to evaluate medical malpractice cases and take action to protect the legal rights of the injured or bereaved.

At Hal Waldman & Associates, we pursue legal and financial justice on behalf of medical malpractice victims. Our attorneys work closely with expert medical investigators to evaluate hospital records for evidence of negligence or deliberate malpractice such as:
- When a patient's condition worsens after an emergency room error
- When life-saving or life-extending treatment was denied by a physician's delayed diagnosis of cancer or failure to diagnose other serious medical conditions such as meningitis, stroke or heart attack
- When surgical errors, such as severing a nerve or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, leave the patient with a lasting disability or chronic pain
- When failure to follow sterile procedures leads to life-threatening infections
- When a child must live with a lifelong disability such as cerebral palsy because of a preventable birth injury
- When hospital negligence on the part of nurses, staff doctors or administrators causes or allows harm to patients
- When an elderly or disabled family member suffers abuse or neglect at the hands of nursing home staff
- When doctors, nurses or pharmacists make prescription drug errors, such as providing the wrong medication or the incorrect dose or failing to check for contraindications or drug interactions
- When a manufacturer of prescription medication or a medical device fails to conduct thorough safety tests or knowingly releases a defective drug or medical device onto the market
