Trusted Legal Representation for Victims of Medical Negligence in Plaquemines Parish
When you seek medical care, you trust that doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers will uphold a standard of professionalism and skill. Unfortunately, medical errors happen—and when they do, the results can be devastating. At Rozas Injury Law, LLC, our Plaquemine medical malpractice lawyers represent clients in Plaquemines Parish and surrounding areas who have suffered injuries due to medical negligence.
If you believe your injuries were caused by a preventable medical error, our law firm can help you understand your legal rights and file a medical malpractice claim to pursue compensation.
What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet the standard of care expected in their profession, causing injury to a patient. Our attorneys handle a wide range of medical malpractice cases, including:
- Surgical errors and wrong-site surgeries
- Delayed diagnoses or misdiagnoses
- Medication mistakes or incorrect dosages
- Birth injuries to mothers or newborns
- Hospital negligence and post-surgical infections
- Anesthesia errors and patient monitoring failures
These cases can be difficult to prove and require strong evidence, including medical records, expert testimony, and a deep understanding of Louisiana malpractice law. Our lawyers have the experience and resources needed to manage these complex claims.
The Consequences of Medical Negligence
Injuries caused by medical malpractice can be just as severe—and often more traumatic—than those caused by car or truck accidents. We represent individuals who have suffered:
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Brain injuries from lack of oxygen
- Internal organ damage
- Emotional trauma and psychological distress
- Additional surgeries or extended recovery periods
These injuries often lead to extensive medical bills, long-term care needs, and lost income. Our attorneys fight to help clients pursue compensation that reflects the full extent of the damage done.
Compensation in a Medical Malpractice Claim
If you’ve been injured due to medical malpractice in Plaquemines Parish, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Costs of rehabilitation and adaptive care
- Settlement or trial verdict reflecting long-term losses
At Rozas Injury Law, our goal is a positive outcome in every case. We assess the complete impact of the malpractice on your life and fight to ensure that your settlement reflects your suffering and future needs.

Our medical malpractice lawyers offer:

- Strategic representation for negotiations and trial
- A track record of results in personal injury claims

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
If a healthcare provider’s mistake caused injury, and another professional would have acted differently in the same situation, you may have a claim. Our lawyers can evaluate your situation.
What damages are available in a medical malpractice lawsuit?
You may recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. We assess every factor when preparing your claim.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim?
Under Louisiana Revised Statutes § 9:5628, most medical malpractice claims must be filed within one year from the date of the alleged negligence or from the date the injury was discovered—whichever occurs first. However, there is a hard cap of three years from the date of the malpractice, regardless of when the injury is discovered.
Can I sue a hospital or just the individual doctor?
Depending on the circumstances, both the individual provider and the hospital or clinic may be liable.
What does it cost to hire a medical malpractice lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there’s no cost to you unless we secure compensation on your behalf.
