Domina Law Group's Select Medical Malpractice Cases

Domina Law Group has been responsible for a number of professional negligence cases involving important decisions affecting the law. These include medical malpractice claims against physicians and hospitals, and a host of other matters involving medical negligence and related conduct.

When Medical Procedures Go Wrong:

“Never events” are events that sometimes take place during medical procedures that should never occur. These types of events only occur when the standard of care that a medical professional owes you as the patient is breached, and they fail to uphold their duty to provide the care you deserve. Although medical malpractice cases are common, clients often mistakenly believe that if a surgery is not 100% perfect they may have been a victim of malpractice.

Unfortunately, the standard we are afforded as medical patients in the United States of America is only average. There is no duty of a medical professional or a doctor to provide anything other than average care. When things go drastically wrong, such as amputating the wrong leg—yes we had a lawsuit over this—or other obvious and blatant mistakes, you still need a lawyer to help you navigate through the web of the medical defense world and, most importantly, the giant insurance companies which do not want to see any of their precious dollars finding their way to your pocket to compensate you, even if, physicians or institutions are 100% at fault.

Domina Law represents a woman who was having a medical procedure requiring a Port-A-Cath placement and the physician failed to realize the guidewire of the Port-A-Cath was left inside the patient which then migrated throughout her body causing extreme pain, discomfort, and mental anguish of realizing something was inside her and she had no control over it.

After getting a revisionary surgery to address this issue, she contacted us. We worked with the individuals involved and were able to settle the matter confidentially so the client and her husband had some peace of mind with the result and what they went through.

If you or a loved one has been a victim of what you believe is medical negligence, please contact us today so we can review your potential case!

Here are a few of Domina Law Group's representative medical malpractice cases:

• Yoder v. Cotton - 276 Neb 954, 758 NW2d 630 (2008)

  • Domina Law Group pc llo’s efforts on behalf of a workers’ compensation employee required to undergo an independent medical evaluation led to a decision that medical malpractice standards generally applicable within the physician patient area of practice do apply to IMEs by physicians.

• Scott v. Khan - 18 Neb App 600, 790 NW2d 9 (2010)
  • Winning its second appeal en route to trial of a malpractice case against a psychiatrist, Domina Law Group’s work established carefully articulated causation rules connecting psychiatric malpractice with patient deterioration, and mental illness. The firm’s client, a controlled mental health patient, went out of control and suffered dramatic hallucinations and regression, loss of her employment, inability to cope, and morbid fear. The appellate court held that the causation evidence adduced is sufficient to require trial.

Domina Law Group has handled many Medical Malpractice lawsuits across the United States. Several of these cases have been successfully settled for our clients - often on the courthouse steps the morning of Trial.
