Plaintiff’s Medical Malpractice

Plaintiff’s Medical Malpractice

When medical professionals fail to uphold the standard of care, the consequences can be life-altering. Patients place their trust in doctors, hospitals, and healthcare providers, but when negligence leads to serious harm, legal action may be necessary to seek justice. At Wyche, we are committed to representing individuals who have suffered due to medical errors, ensuring they receive the compensation and accountability they deserve.


Surgical Errors & Procedural Mistakes

Surgical procedures require precision and skill, but when mistakes occur, the results can be devastating. Patients may suffer severe complications, prolonged recovery, or permanent disability due to preventable surgical errors. Wyche aggressively pursues claims against negligent medical providers and institutions to secure justice for those affected.

Common claims we handle:

  • Wrong-Site, Wrong-Procedure, or Wrong-Patient Surgery
  • Anesthesia Errors & Complications
  • Surgical Instruments Left Inside the Body
  • Post-Surgical Infections & Negligent Aftercare

A timely and accurate diagnosis can mean the difference between recovery and severe illness.
