Surgical Errors: Mistakes such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient.

Medication Mistakes: Errors like prescribing the wrong drug or failing to recognize harmful drug interactions.

Failure to Treat: Neglecting urgent conditions, such as heart attacks or strokes, where timely care is critical.

Birth Injuries: Injuring the baby during the delivery process. 

Anesthesia Errors: Improperly administration of anesthesia resulting in injury or death.

These errors can lead to lifelong consequences for victims and their families. If your injury or loss was caused by negligence, you may have a valid claim. With George Ganim by your side, you’ll have an experienced advocate to guide you through these complex cases and fight for the compensation you deserve.

FAQs

In Connecticut, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. If the extent of your losses isn’t discovered until later, this period starts from the date of discovery. However, no claim can be filed more than three years after the accident.

In Connecticut, you can recover damages even if you’re partially at fault for an accident. This is known as “comparative negligence.” For instance, if your damages total $10,000 and you’re found 30% responsible, you could receive $7,000. However, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may not be entitled to any compensation.
