Waiting for action...
Medical care is built on trust. When that trust is broken through preventable mistakes, the impact can follow a patient and their family for years. At Conner, Marr & Pinski, we represent individuals and families in Kalispell and throughout Montana who were harmed by medical negligence and substandard care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, evidence-heavy, and often aggressively defended. Our firm has experience handling high-stakes medical malpractice claims, including cases that have resulted in multi-million-dollar settlements for injured clients. That experience matters when hospitals, insurers, and medical providers refuse to accept responsibility.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to follow accepted medical standards and a patient is injured as a result. These cases are not about poor outcomes alone. They focus on whether a provider’s actions fell outside what a reasonably careful professional would have done in the same situation.
Malpractice claims often involve hospitals, physicians, specialists, nursing staff, and healthcare facilities. Proving these cases requires careful review of medical records, expert analysis, and a clear understanding of how the mistake changed the patient’s course of care.
Medical malpractice cases are among the most challenging personal injury cases to pursue. They require detailed investigation, expert testimony, and strong legal strategy from the start.
Errors are often buried in charts, test results, or delayed decisions. Insurance carriers and healthcare systems are prepared to defend these cases aggressively, especially when injuries are severe or permanent.
Our experience with complex malpractice litigation allows us to approach these cases with the preparation and resources they demand.
Medical negligence can take many forms, and each type of case presents different risks and consequences for patients. Our practice includes a wide range of medical malpractice claims, including:
Surgical errors and postoperative complications
Emergency room treatment errors
Birth injuries and delivery-related negligence
Each case is evaluated individually, with attention to both immediate harm and long-term medical needs.
Birth injuries often affect families for a lifetime. When mistakes occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, the consequences can be permanent.
These cases may involve failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed decisions during labor, misuse of delivery tools, or medication errors that harm the baby or mother. Birth injury cases often require extensive medical planning and long-term care considerations.
Our firm has handled complex medical malpractice claims involving serious birth injuries and understands what it takes to present these cases clearly and forcefully.
Surgery always carries risk, but preventable errors should never be accepted as unavoidable. Surgical malpractice cases often involve wrong-site procedures, retained instruments, anesthesia issues, or infections linked to improper technique.
These cases require detailed review of operative reports, staffing decisions, and postoperative care. Surgical mistakes frequently lead to extended recovery, additional procedures, or permanent injury.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. When symptoms are overlooked, tests are misread, or follow-up is delayed, patients can lose valuable treatment time.
Misdiagnosis cases often involve cancer, heart attacks, strokes, infections, and neurological conditions. In many situations, the harm is not immediate but worsens over time due to missed opportunities for early intervention.
These cases focus on what should have been done sooner and how earlier action could have changed the outcome.
Medication errors can occur during prescribing, dispensing, or administration. An incorrect drug, dosage, or interaction can lead to serious complications, prolonged hospitalization, or permanent injury.
Anesthesia mistakes are particularly dangerous. Errors involving monitoring, dosing, or patient history can result in brain injury, cardiac complications, or loss of life. These cases often involve multiple providers and require expert evaluation of procedure protocols.
Emergency rooms operate under pressure, but urgency does not excuse unsafe care. Failure to recognize critical symptoms, delays in treatment, and communication breakdowns can have severe consequences.
Hospital malpractice cases may involve multiple departments, staffing decisions, and system-wide failures. These claims often require a broad investigation beyond a single provider’s actions.
Medical malpractice also extends to long-term care facilities and nursing homes. Residents are vulnerable to neglect, untreated medical conditions, medication errors, and physical harm.
These cases often involve failure to prevent falls, pressure injuries, infections, or improper supervision. Families deserve answers when a loved one suffers harm in a care setting meant to provide safety and support.
Serious medical malpractice cases often involve lifelong medical needs, loss of earning capacity, and profound changes to quality of life. Our firm has experience pursuing high-value medical malpractice claims, including cases that resulted in multi-million-dollar settlements.
That experience reflects the level of preparation, persistence, and resources required to handle complex medical negligence cases against well-funded defendants.
Medical malpractice cases are not just legal claims. They are about answers, accountability, and protecting patients from repeat harm. Our firm approaches these cases with attention to detail and respect for what clients have endured.
Clients work closely with their attorney throughout the process and receive clear communication at every stage. We focus on building strong cases that stand up to scrutiny and reflect the real impact of medical negligence.
