Testimonials

A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...

- Robert Nutting
My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...

- Cheryl H
I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.

- Evie Newbold
Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...

- Rick Kelley
As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

Common Medical Malpractice Cases | New Hampshire

Medical mistakes happen in every part of the country and in every type of medical facility. Despite a dedication to helping, not hurting, doctors, nurses, lab techs, pharmacists and other staff members can and do make mistakes. Even the most modern hospital is not immune to serious, even deadly medical errors.

Some of the more common errors include:

medication mistakes
medication mix-ups
wrong diagnosis
surgery errors
infections caught in the hospital
lab testing errors

Over 15 million people are injured by medical mistakes each year. In addition, more than 50,000 people die at the hands of medical professionals. New Hampshire is not immune to medical negligence. Medical mistakes are one of top ten killers in the state.

If you have been injured and believe that a medical error is to blame, you need a lawyer who has a winning record. The attorneys at Van Dorn & Curtiss have the medical malpractice experience you need when you have been seriously injured.
