Chiropractic Malpractice
Our attorneys handle chiropractic negligence claims. A chiropractor, like other health care professionals, is held to certain standards of practice. When those standards are violated and those violations result in damage to patients and their families, an action for malpractice can be brought against the chiropractor. Two areas where chiropractic malpractice can occur are: (1) when a chiropractor fails to diagnose a condition requiring immediate medical attention; and (2) when damage results from chiropractic manipulation. Complications of chiropractic manipulation can result in cognitive or emotional dysfunction, paralysis or death, vertebral and rib fractures, vertebrobasilar stroke, disc herniation, and damage to the spinal cord.
