Medical Malpractice: We Hold People Accountable
Professionals in the health care industry — whether they are doctors, nurses, pharmacists or any other type of provider — are required to meet certain accepted standards when treating a patient. Failure to meet these standards can lead to serious injuries and sometimes death. While not every medical mistake leads to a viable malpractice claim, many do, and if you have been injured you have the right to consult an attorney to determine your options.
The medical malpractice lawyers at Schemery Zicolello are passionate advocates for those who suffer serious harm as a result of medical negligence. We understand the complex laws surrounding these kinds of claims, and we will give you an honest assessment of whether you have a viable claim or not. We handle injury cases in Lycoming County, Clinton County, Union County and Montour County and throughout Central Pennsylvania.
