Medical Negligence

New Orleans Medical Negligence Lawyers

In matters relating to preserving or restoring our health, we place a great deal of faith in individuals who work in the medical profession. We entrust doctors, nurses, pharmacists and countless other healthcare workers with the correct handling and execution of medical procedures, and with good reason. These professionals, after all, have been trained to do such work — performing surgeries, filling prescriptions, monitoring hospital patients or nursing home residents. Most of the time our confidence is well placed.

However, health care workers are not infallible and injuries and sometimes death can be the result of their negligence or failure to provide appropriate care. At the law office of Herman, Herman, Katz & Cotlar, LLP in New Orleans, Louisiana, our attorneys apply knowledge, experience and a desire to advocate on behalf of victims of medical negligence in order to help people get the compensation they are entitled to.
