Surgical and Hospital Negligence

Scott McMillen has a proven track record of handling cases involving surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, and hospital-acquired infections.

By meticulously preparing each case for trial, they ensure that their clients’ claims are taken seriously and that they receive full compensation for additional medical surgeries, prolonged hospital stays, and permanent disabilities.

Birth Injury Representation

One of the most heartbreaking areas of medical malpractice involves injuries to newborns and mothers during childbirth. Scott McMillen provides compassionate and aggressive representation for families affected by birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, and brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation. These cases require a sophisticated understanding of obstetrics and fetal monitoring. The firm fights to secure settlements that will provide for the child’s lifetime care needs, including therapy, specialized equipment, and home modifications, ensuring that the family has the financial support necessary to navigate a difficult future.

Misdiagnosis and Medication Errors

A failure to diagnose a critical condition or a mistake in medication dosage can be fatal. Scott McMillen handles cases involving the misdiagnosis of cancer, heart attacks, and strokes, as well as pharmacy errors. Proving these cases requires demonstrating that a competent doctor would have identified the condition sooner. The firm’s focused experience allows them to effectively cross-examine defense experts and present clear, compelling evidence to a jury. They are dedicated to holding medical professionals accountable for their oversight and ensuring that such preventable errors do not happen to others.
