Pediatric Malpractice - Talaska Law Firm - Robert J. Talaska

Our Representation in Pediatric Malpractice Cases

We provide comprehensive counsel to children and their parents in pediatric malpractice claims, including cases involving:

Injuries suffered during or as a result of surgery
mismanaged infections.

Failure to diagnose correctible anatomic problems.

Misdiagnoses of illness or injury.

Many of the pediatric malpractice cases we handle involve emergency room physicians, nurses or other personnel. For a variety of reasons, children require different medical treatment than adults. In emergency rooms that do not customarily treat children, signs or symptoms of certain types of illness or injury may be missed. Even in well-staffed urban children's hospitals, lab, communication or diagnostic errors can have a much more severe impact on the health of a child than on an adult.

Specifically, we have handled many cases involving a failure to diagnose or properly treat for bacterial meningitis, as well as other types of infections in children, which can often result in brain or other organ damage. We have also represented children born with congenital malformations or who had other complex problems that were not properly treated, such as:

Children whose profusion and circulation were not correctly managed during complex cardiac surgery.

Minors who were not diagnosed with cancer on a timely basis or who were given another and incorrect diagnosis, often leading to their unnecessary death.

Children who were born prematurely and did not receive proper neonatal intensive care, leading to bleeding on the brain, or cerebral palsy.

Children on ventilators whose care was mismanaged, leading to brain injury or other complications.
