Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Medical Malpractice / Personal Injury

We handle personal injury and wrongful death stemming from doctor negligence, hospital negligence, nurse errors, and nursing home abuse. Some of the medical negligence claims we routinely handle include: brain injuries such as TBI, hydrocephalus and others; back and neck injuries; burns and scars; spinal injuries; injuries resulting from surgical errors or anesthesia errors; cancer misdiagnosis or other missed medical diagnosis; amputation, blood clot injury, brain tumors, cardiology, hypoxia, I.V. infusion injuries, neurosurgery and more.

- Birth Injuries

At The Law Office of Robert H. Kleinschmidt, P.C., we have helped parents, grandparents and guardians of children with: cerebral palsy, hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice), hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, oxygen deprivation, brachial plexus (Erb's palsy, shoulder dystocia), macrosomia (large babies), leukomalacia, kernicterus, triplegia, uterine rupture, cortical blindness, quadriplegia, spasticity, hydrocephalus, seizures and other obstetrical injures occurring during the birth process.

- Injuries to Children

As a firm concentrating on personal injury and medical malpractice claims, we have represented many families that are dealing with the aftermath of injuries caused by medical negligence. We handle all child injury claims resulting from medical malpractice, including: pediatric errors, birth injuries, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, failure to diagnose a disease or condition, prescription errors / medication errors, errors by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in rendering treatment to a child after a car accident, bicycle accident, or other type of accident, all injuries and wrongful death. Medical malpractice cases involving children are significantly different from cases involving injuries to adults. Children suffering serious and chronic injuries may live for extended periods of time and require a tremendous amount of medical services costing thousands or even millions of dollars.

- Misdiagnosis

Attorney Robert H. Kleinschmidt has more than two decades of experience representing victims of medical malpractice. Prior to representing the injured, he served as a defense attorney for prominent doctors and hospitals. His background on both sides of the issue gives him the legal sophistication needed to handle misdiagnosis of cancer and failure to diagnose claims involving: heart attacks, strokes or aneurysms, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, meningitis, infections and diseases.

- Anesthesia Errors

To avoid unnecessary pain during surgery, doctors called anesthesiologists administer drugs that render patients totally or partially unconscious. When performed correctly, patients enjoy the benefits of surgery without unnecessary pain and fear that may be associated with their medical procedure. When anesthesiologists perform their duties incorrectly, however, patients can experience unnecessary pain, injuries, fear and even death. Most anesthesia errors are preventable with proper care and diligence. At The Law Office of Robert H. Kleinschmidt, P.C. we represent clients who have been injured as a result of medical negligence. We handle a wide range of medical malpractice cases, including claims resulting from negligent anesthesia errors.

- Surgical Errors

We handle all medical malpractice claims, including all injuries caused by surgical errors. The founder of our firm, attorney Robert H. Kleinschmidt, has 25 years of litigation experience. He has the knowledge and legal sophistication necessary to handle any surgical error claim, including: fatal injuries/wrongful death claims; brain damage caused by surgical error; anesthesia errors during surgery; basic errors: left surgical tool in body/operated on wrong body part; negligent preparation for surgery; negligent damage to eyes or ears; and negligent damage to back or spine. If you have suffered an injury resulting from a surgical error or medical negligence, we encourage you to contact our skilled attorney and law office in Scottsdale, Arizona.

- Hospital Negligence

Hospitals have a duty to protect people in their care. When hospitals and their staff fail to act with reasonable care, people get hurt and even killed. If you have been injured as a result of hospital negligence and need to speak with an attorney in Arizona, we encourage you to contact The Law Office of Robert H. Kleinschmidt, P.C. At our law office in Scottsdale, we provide experienced and dedicated legal representation on behalf of clients throughout Arizona. We handle all hospital malpractice claims, including medical error relating to: doctor negligence, nursing negligence, negligent hiring and retention, poor communication, lab and X-ray errors, diagnostic testing errors, emergency room negligence, MRI errors, surgery errors, birth unit errors, cancer and radiology errors and anesthesia errors.

- Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

Nursing home negligence and nursing home abuse are more common and more severe than most people would care to believe. Every year in America, thousands of senior citizens suffer personal injuries as a result of nursing home neglect and abuse. Examples of common forms of nursing home abuse and neglect include: bed sores from inattentive care, sexual abuse, physical abuse, elder neglect, unnecessary falls caused by inattentive care, prescription and medication errors, slip and fall accidents caused by negligent care, elders left in the heat or cold for too long and understaffing problems. All too often, nursing homes have a profits come first attitude that places their residents in danger of serious injury, emotional neglect and even death. In addition to injuries caused by negligence, residents of nursing homes are subjected to physical abuse and sexual assault at a level that is shameful and shocking.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents / Auto Accidents

Frequently, car accidents are caused by the negligence of a person who is uninsured or underinsured. Your own car insurance may provide you with coverage even though you have suffered catastrophic injuries caused by the neglect of an uninsured or underinsured driver. We have handled hundreds of these claims. We know how to gather the evidence and protect your rights to present your claim for these benefits with your own insurance company.

- Truck Accidents

Complicated state and federal laws regulate commercial trucks. Drivers of 18-wheelers are often pressured by their employers to drive without sleep for many hours to get to their destination on time. Often federal and state mandated logbooks are falsified regarding driver fatigue or maintenance of truck brakes. Many employers ignore these safety standards, causing serious potential hazards to other vehicles on the road. At The Law Office of Robert H. Kleinschmidt, P.C., we have the experience to thoroughly investigate and obtain all the evidence necessary to protect your rights and those of your loved ones in your claim for catastrophic injuries or wrongful death caused by a commercial truck driver.

- Product Liability / Defective Products

If you believe you may have a product liability claim, contact The Law Office of Robert H. Kleinschmidt, P.C. to speak with a Phoenix defective product lawyer about your case. We help clients seek full and fair compensation for their injuries caused by a defective or dangerous product. Some examples of defective product cases we handle include: Fentanyl Pain Patch and other pharmaceutical or prescription drugs; defective medical products, including DePuy hip replacement and Sulzer hip implants; knee replacement defects; tire defects causing rollovers and roof crushes; air bag, seat belt, door latch and brake failures; defective child safety seats; drop-side crib recalls; equipment defects causing fire and explosions; defective machinery and power tools; and construction site equipment defects.

- Brain Injuries

We have extensive experience in cases involving brain injuries in both children and adults. Some of the brain injury claims we handle include: traumatic brain injury (TBI), hypoxia and anoxia, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, coma, head trauma, closed head injury, brain hemorrhage and brain stem injuries. Severe brain injuries often cause severe physical and psychological conditions. These conditions make it difficult for people to work and function properly in daily life. Simple daily tasks that were once taken for granted are often transformed into Herculean tasks for people suffering from the effects of brain damage or closed head trauma. We understand the effects that a brain injury can have on the victims and their families. We are committed to obtaining compensation to the fullest extent of the law.

- Spinal Cord Injuries

Our firm handles all medical malpractice and personal injury claims. No case is too big or complex for our firm. We have extensive experience in cases involving spinal cord injuries, including: paralysis: quadriplegia and paraplegia; loss of hand function; spinal cord syndrome; severe neck and back injuries; and spinal cord injuries to children and adults. Many spinal cord injuries are the result of an auto accident, slip-and-fall accident, or sporting accident. Some spinal cord injuries result from construction accidents or other work-related accidents. Unfortunately, minimal to moderate spinal cord damage caused by accidents is often exacerbated by medical malpractice.

- Wrongful Death

Hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care providers have a team of attorneys that carefully advises them how to communicate with family members in the event of a patient's death. Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals are not going to simply admit that they caused the death of your family member as a result of medical negligence. Patient records, medical charts and other valuable evidence that may establish a basis for a wrongful death lawsuit are difficult to obtain and difficult to decipher. If you have lost a parent, child or spouse as a result of medical malpractice, you need an experienced medical malpractice lawyer who will uncover the evidence necessary to hold negligent health care providers responsible for their actions.
