Doctors, anesthesiologists, and other health care professionals can, and do, make mistakes. At times, and for a variety of reasons, a doctor might make the wrong decision, resulting in serious or fatal consequences for the patient.
Sometimes these medical mistakes are just that �?honest and understandable mistakes, as tragic as the results may be. However, in other cases, a doctor may make a mistake that is inexcusable or completely contrary to current standards of medical practice.
In these situations, the doctor or other health care professional may be guilty of medical malpractice.
In our personal injury practice at Thiros & Thiros, P.C., we pay particular attention to cases of medical malpractice. We thoroughly evaluate such claims right from the outset. We do not believe in bringing frivolous claims of medical malpractice. However, if our review of the medical records �?in consultation with medical experts �?reveals instances of medical malpractice, then our lawyers will vigorously pursue full and fair compensation for the victim of medical malpractice.

Established in 1971 under the name Cohen & Thiros, P.C., and with a strong local and regional reputation, our law firm has the necessary resources to pursue justice in medical malpractice cases.
