Refractive Eye Surgery has become perhaps the most commercially marketed surgical procedure in the history of medicine. While these surgeries are presented as quick and painless ways to improve the vision of those afflicted with myopia or hyperopia, LASIK and related eye surgeries may do more harm than good if performed negligently or if the candidates are not properly screened. Frequently the risks inherent in the procedures are not adequately presented to candidates and, as a result, they needlessly suffer under circumstances which might have been wholly avoided had the consent given for the surgery been based of adequate information. LASIK has become an assembly line procedure in the offices of even the finest opthamologists in the country and the results can be devastating.

Often we place our trust in doctors and staff. We are at a disadvantage because we do not have the knowledge that medical professionals maintain. So when a medical mistake occurs, the patients and their families are entitled to an explanation. When a hospital or doctor did something they should not have done or failed to do something they should have done and injury results, it constitutes medical malpractice. Physicians and hospitals are held accountable for their mistakes and/or misconduct. Medical negligence cases provide patients with answers and accountability when the medical professionals fail to do so.

Keith, Shapiro & Ford has received one of the largest verdicts in a refractive malpractice matter in the United States and has through trial or negotiation produced truly rewarding results for out clients. We take pride in assisting our clients who have suffered injury due to the negligence of health care professionals to obtain the best outcome possible.
