When Medical Care Falls Below the Accepted Standard
We place enormous trust in doctors, nurses, hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare professionals. Most of the time, that trust is well placed. However, when a medical provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, the consequences can be life-changing.
Medical malpractice can result in serious injury, prolonged illness, permanent disability, or the loss of a loved one. In addition to the physical impact, patients and their families often face emotional hardship, unexpected medical expenses, lost income, and uncertainty about what comes next.
If you believe you or someone you love has been harmed by medical negligence, the attorneys at Bianchi Brouillard Sousa & O'Connell, P.C. are here to help you understand your legal options.

Pharmaceutical Negligence
Prescription medications play an important role in modern healthcare, but mistakes involving medications can have devastating consequences.
Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to provide reasonably safe products, and pharmacies have a duty to fill prescriptions and help identify potentially dangerous drug interactions accurately. When medications are improperly prescribed, dispensed, or monitored, patients may suffer serious injury or illness.
If you have been harmed by a medication error or defective pharmaceutical product, the attorneys at Bianchi Brouillard Sousa & O'Connell, P.C. can help evaluate your potential claim.
Nursing Home Negligence
Entrusting the care of a loved one to a nursing home is never an easy decision. Families expect residents to receive attentive, compassionate, and appropriate care in a safe environment.
Unfortunately, preventable injuries can occur when nursing homes or their staff fail to follow care plans, properly monitor residents, administer medications correctly, or respond appropriately to changing medical conditions.
When nursing home negligence results in unnecessary injury or suffering, our attorneys help families pursue accountability and seek compensation for the harm caused.
