Medical Malpractice & Negligence

Iowa City, Iowa Medical Malpractice Lawyers

According to the National Institutes of Health, between 44,000 and 98,000 people die each year as a result of medical negligence in hospitals. That number doesn't even include the number of people who are injured — or the people who are injured or who die in nursing homes.

Medical malpractice claims aren't about punishing hard-working doctors and nurses for mistakes. These claims involve tragic errors that fall below what the medical industry itself considers an acceptable standard of care. Birth injuries, misdiagnosis, prescription errors, failure to diagnose cancer — medical malpractice has devastating, life-changing effects on patients and their families.

At the Martin Diaz Law Firm in Iowa City, we have been representing people in personal injury and medical malpractice cases for more than 10 years. The majority of our cases involve people who are permanently disabled, people who are dying, and the families of those lost to wrongful death as a result of medical negligence or malpractice. If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, contact us today for a free initial consultation with an attorney.

Working Hard to Resolve Your Medical Malpractice Case

At our law firm, we are not satisfied until we have been able to help our clients obtain a meaningful resolution to their cases. Our number-one priority is to take care of your legal needs so you can move forward with your life from as strong a position as possible.

We represent people in a broad range of medical malpractice cases such as:

  • Failure to diagnose cancer
  • Emergency room errors, such as failure to diagnose aortic dissection, a disease that often mimics the symptoms of a heart attack
  • Avoidable or misdiagnosed infections
  • Surgical errors
  • Prescription errors
  • Nursing errors
  • Nursing home abuse or neglect

Birth Injuries

Cases involving birth injuries or trauma during birth can result in permanent disabilities for children who have just begun life. Even the least serious of these has a devastating impact on that child, his or her parents, and even extended families. These cases are extremely difficult and tragic.

At the Diaz Law Firm, we seek to help families seek the compensation they need for what may be a lifetime of expensive medical care. We can handle medical malpractice cases involving many types of birth injuries, such as:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Erb's palsy
  • Shoulder dystocia
  • Shoulder or hip dislocation
