A medical perspective
Understanding care during recovery.
Dr. Zaheer Shah has treated patients who needed ongoing care in a rehabilitation facility after surgery or an injury. He understands the role that medical professionals play in supporting a patient’s recovery.
He has also represented clients harmed by negligent facility care. His medical and legal experience informs the review of the treatment provided, the patient’s needs, and the consequences of a failure in care.
Medical rehabilitation
When recovery depends on continued care.
Following surgery or injury, a rehabilitation stay may involve care from several providers. Reviewing a concern means examining whether the treatment and monitoring met the patient’s needs.
Treatment and follow-through
Records can help establish the planned care, what treatment was provided, and whether needed care was delayed or omitted.
Monitoring and response
The review considers how changes in the patient’s condition were recorded and how staff responded.
Some concerns overlap with a failure to treat claim. The details of the admission, treatment, and injury determine what needs to be examined.
Drug & alcohol rehabilitation
Safety and attentive care during treatment.
People receiving treatment for drug or alcohol addiction and their families rely on the facility to provide appropriate care. Concerns may involve the response to withdrawal symptoms, patient monitoring, or the safety of the treatment environment.
Reports of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse also deserve careful attention. We listen to what happened and review the circumstances, the facility’s response, and the harm experienced.
The legal questions can differ depending on whether a concern involves medical treatment, supervision, abuse, or another failure. An individual review helps identify the issues.
Reviewing your concerns
Looking at the care and the harm together.
For a medical malpractice claim, the evidence must connect a departure from the applicable standard of care to an injury. Records from the facility and any subsequent treatment can help explain that connection.
Tell us about the reason for the rehabilitation stay, the concerns that arose, and how the patient was affected. We can discuss the information needed to review a possible claim.
