What is medical malpractice?
We are all thankful when medical procedures, tests and check-ups go as hoped. However, on occasion, a doctor, nurse practitioner, specialist, behavioral health provider, hospital, lab, pharmacy or other medical service provider may:
- Miss a diagnosis
- Incorrectly diagnose or treat a medical condition
- Prescribe or administer the wrong medication
- Discharge a patient before he or she is ready
- Do something else that is harmful or negligent
In cases such as these, patients and their families may be eligible for compensation in a medical malpractice claim.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Communication is key for me, and my M&N team was on point with the level of communication they provided. The get-well cards and flowers after surgery were just a special touch that brightened my day. I wasn’t treated like another number or another case, they really made me feel like family. They really care for you and your wellbeing. Words will never express but I will forever be grateful for all they have done for me. Thank you !!!!!”

TYPES OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES
Medical Negligence: Failure to Diagnose/ Misdiagnosis
A very common area of medical malpractice litigation relates to the failure to diagnose and/or the misdiagnosis of medical conditions. In recent years, we have pursued cases involving:
- Failure to diagnose various forms of cancer, resulting in death.
- Failure to diagnose infections in children or adults resulting in death.
- Failure to diagnose eye conditions resulting in permanent vision loss.
- Failure to diagnose other illnesses.
The basis of a failure to diagnose case is that the victim has lost the chance to have the condition treated and/or cured because of the misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose.
As in all medical negligence cases, it is necessary to establish that the medical provider’s misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose resulted from the medical provider’s failure to exercise the same level of care ordinarily exercised by other prudent medical providers. Generally, it is also necessary to show that an appropriate or timely diagnosis would have likely resulted in a different outcome. In other words, there must be proof that there truly was a “chance” to cure or extend life.
As in all medical negligence cases, appropriate medical expert testimony is required in order to prevail on a “failure to diagnose” theory. Marasco & Nesselbush has assembled a team of legal and medical experts who can review your case and determine the long-term physical, emotional, and financial impact the negligence has caused.
Wrongful Death
Under Rhode Island law, family members or the estate of an individual who has died due to the negligence of others may be entitled to recover in the same manner as if the individual had survived. That is, ordinarily the estate and/or the family will be entitled to recover for pain and suffering prior to a person’s death, as well as for other types of damages (injuries), such as the victim’s lost wages, lost earning capacity, loss of consortium, and loss of family society.
