Doctors are among the most trusted and well-respected professionals. The extensive knowledge and years of training that doctors possess enable them to perform preventative and life-saving treatments for their patients. Unfortunately, doctors don’t always fulfill their duties and sometimes fail their patients. Through poor judgment, hastiness, carelessness, misconduct, or some other form of negligence, doctors sometimes harm patients, causing injuries or even wrongful death. If you believe a doctor has caused injury to you or someone you love, you need experienced medical negligence attorneys. At Siegfried & Jensen in the Salt Lake City , Utah area, we can help you take a stand against medical negligence and pursue the compensation you deserve.
When something goes wrong during the course of treatment, it may be that your doctor failed to treat you according to the appropriate standard of care and is therefore liable for medical malpractice. Doctors must frequently make judgment calls — especially in emergency situations — but having to do so does not excuse them for making poor decisions.
Care standards are determined by what a reasonable and prudent doctor would do under a given set of circumstances and are applicable in all medical situations. Even if the doctor does what the majority of doctors would do, that fact does not necessarily mean they followed the proper standard of care. At Siegfried & Jensen, our experienced medical negligence attorneys are dedicated to helping residents of Salt Lake City and other areas throughout Utah who've been injured by negligent medical professionals. Our lawyers can evaluate your case and consult expert witnesses to establish whether there was a breach of care standards. If your doctor failed to meet the standards in your case, then he or she may be liable for negligence.

Doctor or physician negligence can take many forms and occur under many different circumstances. For example, in the operating room many types of surgical errors can cause injury to the patient. When delivering a newborn, birth injury can occur if the doctor fails to recognize complications early enough or mishandles the infant. Doctors often also misdiagnose or fail to diagnose conditions which could have been detected and treated earlier. Common forms of physician negligence include:
These and any number of other forms of physician negligence can cause significant (and possibly debilitating) injuries or even death. Negligent doctors must be held accountable for these inexcusable mistakes.
