If you live in the USA, you have the following civil rights: freedom from discrimination if you are a member of a protected class, freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, the right to procedural due process, and the right to petition the government. The scope of Civil Rights is ever expanding and they are different from any other rights we have as citizens of a free country. Whenever a person's civil rights are violated by an employer, a police officer or a government agency, the attorneys at The Maddox Law Office are determined to see your rights preserved.

  Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor or other health care professional, through a negligent act or omission, causes an injury to a patient. The negligence might be the result of errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or health management.  Medical malpractice can take many forms. Some examples of medical negligence that might lead to a lawsuit are:

• Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis
• Misreading or ignoring laboratory results
• Unnecessary surgery
• Surgical errors or wrong site surgery
• Improper medication or dosage
• Poor follow-up or aftercare
• Premature discharge
• Disregarding or not taking appropriate patient history
• Failure to order proper testing
• Failure to recognize symptoms

 Black women consistently face disproportionate mortality and morbidity rates during medical care, even when providers are aware of their statistical vulnerabilities. If you believe that you or a family member has been subjected to medical negligence, give us a call now for a consultation.
