Injuries Caused by Doctors and Hospitals
We rely every day on doctors, nurses, hospitals, lab technicians, anesthesiologists and other medical professionals to provide appropriate care for ourselves and our loved ones.

Doctors, hospitals and their lawyers do not like to admit mistakes. They vigorously defend any allegations of medical malpractice, trying to convince juries that what happened was an unfortunate result that could not be avoided.
At Ellis Law Offices in Worcester, Massachusetts, our medical malpractice attorneys approach each medical malpractice case with the foresight that the case will go to trial. We thoroughly investigate the case, analyze the evidence and, with medical experts, reconstruct what actually happened.

A second surgery is needed to remove the foreign body, but usually more serious complications arise, such as life threatening infection and in some cases death. Other surgical errors include causing severe nerve damage to a location near a surgical site that was otherwise avoidable or severing an artery during surgery that causes major blood loss with serious complications or death.
