Medical Malpractice

When we seek medical care, we trust doctors, nurses, and hospitals to help us heal — not cause further harm. But when that trust is broken through negligence, the results can be devastating.

Joseph Piacun represents patients and families who have suffered life-changing injuries from medical malpractice. With more than 20 years of experience, he provides strong, compassionate representation to help clients recover the compensation they deserve.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Surgical and anesthesia errors
• Hospital negligence
• Nursing or medication errors
• Birth injuries
• Emergency room mistakes
• Failure to diagnose cancer or disease

Not every bad outcome means malpractice — but when negligence is proven, Mr. Piacun will fight to hold those responsible accountable and help you move forward. Free consultations available.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

When we place loved ones in nursing homes, we trust they’ll receive the care and attention they deserve. Unfortunately, understaffing and neglect too often lead to serious injury or death.

Mr. Piacun has extensive experience holding nursing homes accountable for abuse and negligence, including:

• Patient neglect and bedsores
• Falls and broken bones
• Physical or emotional abuse
• Failure to communicate with doctors or family
• Medication or nutrition errors

If you believe your loved one has been harmed in a nursing home, contact Mr. Piacun today for a free consultation.

Trucking & Automobile Accidents

Eighteen-wheelers and commercial trucks can cause catastrophic injuries when they collide with passenger vehicles. Joseph Piacun has significant experience representing victims of trucking and automobile accidents, helping them secure compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If you’ve been injured in a car or truck accident caused by another’s negligence, contact Mr. Piacun for a free consultation.

Slip & Fall Injuries

Businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. Yet hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor maintenance frequently lead to serious injuries.

Retail and grocery stores know customers’ attention is focused on merchandise — not the floor. When they fail to keep walkways safe, they can be held responsible for the harm that results.

If you’ve suffered an injury due to a slip or trip hazard at a business, Mr. Piacun can help you pursue full compensation. Contact us for your free consultation.
