Medical Malpractice at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Navigating the healthcare system can be challenging enough without the added stress of dealing with medical errors. At Ciccarelli Law Offices, we understand how devastating it can be when medical malpractice affects your family—especially when it involves the trusted care at a place like Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). If you believe your child was harmed due to medical negligence, you do not have to face this alone. Our experienced attorneys are here to support you.
Understanding Medical Malpractice at CHOP
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is one of the leading pediatric hospitals in the world, renowned for its specialized care. While many patients experience exceptional medical treatment, malpractice can and does occur—even at esteemed facilities. Medical malpractice arises when the standard of care is not met, resulting in harm to the patient. At CHOP, malpractice claims could include:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: A wrong or delayed diagnosis of a condition like cancer, infections, or congenital disorders can lead to unnecessary suffering or worsened conditions.
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong part of the body or leaving surgical instruments behind, are rare but serious problems that can occur.
- Medication Errors: The wrong dosage or medication can have severe effects on a child’s health due to their smaller size and unique needs.
- Anesthesia Errors: Incorrect administration of anesthesia during surgery can lead to dangerous complications.
- Post-Surgical and Infection Issues: Failing to identify or treat infections or other post-surgical complications in time can put a child’s life at risk.
If you suspect negligence, it’s critical to take action. Pediatric malpractice cases require extensive legal and medical expertise, which our team is fully equipped to provide.
