Presented by Attorney Sean Cleary, Personal Injury Lawyer
 Over the past century, modern medicine has made many dramatic advances in the curing of illness, treatment of injuries, and management of chronic conditions. Hospitals today are staffed with highly-trained, experienced doctors, nurses and specialists who regularly perform what would in the old days be considered miracles.
Sadly, even with the best of training, facilities and equipment, medical malpractice in the form of errors, omissions, misdiagnoses, failure to interpret tests properly or order medically necessary tests when required can result in wrongful death or injury to patients. Parents, children, brothers, sisters, and all other relatives, friends, and co-workers suffer along with the patient and can be deprived of income, companionship, services, and other benefits they used to receive from their relationship when the damage done by malpractice results in the wrongful death, disability or serious injury to a person. This is of course in addition to the damage suffered by the patient themselves, should they manage to live through the experience.
When this happens to you or a loved one, you need the services of a highly trained and experienced Personal Injury Lawyer who can investigate the circumstances of the events in question, advise you of your rights under the law given the facts of the case, and navigate through the treacherous waters of settlement negotiation and if required, litigation. The law is strict and unforgiving with regards to documentation and statutes of limitations requirements, so if you think you may have a medical malpractice claim for yourself or a family member, it's very important to contact a competent attorney as soon as possible so you don't forfeit your rights.
At the Law Offices of Sean J. Cleary, we work tirelessly for our clients to get them the justice they deserve. Attorney Cleary personally handles or supervises every case. If you want personal service from a local lawyer who has handled Medical Malpractice cases from lawsuits to out-of-court settlements for over 15 years, then call us today and we will set you up with a free, no-obligation, introductory consultation. If you are in the hospital or of limited mobility, we can easily come right to you anywhere in Western Massachusetts.
With all Personal Injury legal cases, there are no costs to you unless we are successful. We only get paid if we provide you with the compensation you deserve, and our contingency rates are modest and customary.
With all the noise now about "Tort Reform" (limiting patients rights when they suffer from medical errors and negligence) as a theoretical way to reduce medical costs to society, remember why they COUNT medical instruments now whenever surgery is performed. It's because once upon a time, they didn't, and one time a medical instrument was left INSIDE a patient after the surgery was done, causing them much suffering. They SUED, and won a substantial settlement. Now, the practice of counting surgical instruments is established as part of the surgeon's canon. The law works the way it does for good reason. In the high-stakes world of medicine, indifference or incompetence can have deadly or permanently debilitating consequences, so the system is set up to both compensate people who suffer from these things and penalize those who engage in them.
At the Law Offices of Sean J. Cleary, we think that this is the law working the way it was fairly designed to. We work with victims of medical malpractice get them the help they need with medical bills, funeral costs, long-term care, and basic living expenses when they can no longer work. We also help widows, orphans, and others left behind recover from the devastating preventable loss of a provider. We seek justice, and work diligently on our clients' behalf to achieve it.
