Are You a Victim of Medical Malpractice?
Doctors and hospitals are supposed to help us heal and get better. But sometimes their negligence or misconduct hurts us instead. When your well being – or your life – are on the line, there is no room for error.
Medical malpractice can take many forms, such as:
- Injury to a child during birth
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose and treat a condition
- Anesthesia errors
- Operating on the wrong part of your body
- Leaving instruments or supplies in your body
- Giving you the wrong medicine or the wrong dose
- Botched plastic surgery
Unfortunately in too many cases, when mistakes like these happen doctors and hospitals won’t volunteer the information and may even try to hide it from you. The vast majority of doctors and medical facilities provide excellent, caring treatment. But there are providers who shouldn’t be practicing medicine. It’s our mission to stop them.
If you think you or your child has been injured due to medical malpractice, you face the costs of correcting the mistake, and you may have medical, rehabilitation and life-care costs far into the future. There may be time off work and lost wages. Contact a medical malpractice attorney at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya now.

A new law takes effect in Colorado on August 11, 2010 – a law that has a big impact on personal injury cases and settlement amounts. The law affects three areas:
Collateral source rule. This says that the fact or amount of any collateral source payment (such as from a plaintiff’s medical insurance) shall not be admitted as evidence in an action against a third-party tortfeasor.
