Professional Malpractice

Professional Negligence - Doctors, Brokers, Pharmacists

If you or a member of your family has been harmed or damaged by the negligence of a licensed professional, contact the Boyle, Neblett & Wenger for advice about your legal options. As an experienced trial attorney, Harrisburg professional malpractice lawyer Dennis Boyle understands how to investigate and present proof not only of the defendant's liability but also the full measure of your damages.

At Boyle, Neblett & Wenger, our objective in all professional malpractice cases is to recover the full value of your claim, whenever we can establish the defendant's liability. In professional malpractice cases, we can prove liability in one of three ways, depending on the specific facts of your case and the profession involved:

  1. Failure to observe the prevailing standard of care or conduct in the profession that applies to a given situation,
  2. Violation of a regulation binding upon practitioners of a licensed profession that is intended to protect patients or clients, or
  3. Ordinary negligence or the failure to use reasonable care under the circumstances.

We represent clients in such professional malpractice cases as the following:

  • Medical Malpractice. We represent clients for claims against physicians, surgeons, nurses, and other medical professionals in cases involving surgical errors, birth injuries, emergency room negligence, or failure to diagnose serious illness such as heart disease, cancer, or infection.
  • Dental Malpractice. Claims against dentists or oral surgeons can involve painful and disfiguring injuries related to wisdom tooth procedures, crowns and bridgework, damage to the lingual nerve, or misdiagnosis of squamous cell cancer.
  • Pharmacist Negligence. Mistakes in dosage, instructions, warnings, or even filling the wrong prescription can lead to very serious drug interactions or aggravation of medical conditions.
  • Stockbrokers and Securities Dealers. We can represent the clients of financial planners and brokers whose trading activities have proved unsuitable or even ruinous given your financial resources or investment objectives.

We also handle professional negligence or malpractice claims against insurance agents, engineers, architects, real estate agents or brokers, and others whose Pennsylvania license is meant to protect you from the likelihood of mistakes or dishonesty.
