Areas of Practice Silvestri & Massicot is a full-service litigation law firm, which concentrates in the following areas of practice: Medical malpractice is an act of negligence or omission by a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider which deviates from accepted standards of practice in the medical community and causes injury to a patient. A health care provider may still be responsible in cases where a patient has signed a release form, if the injury could have been avoided. Claims for medical negligence must be proved by hiring a medical expert to review the patient's records and testify that 1 ) the care provided fell below the acceptable standard of care, and 2 ) the failure to meet the acceptable standard of care caused or contributed to the patient's injury. Silvestri & Massicot has handled hundreds of medical malpractice cases involving, for example, obstetric errors, surgical errors, anesthesiology errors, birth injuries, failure to timely and properly diagnose emergency room negligence, hospital negligence, nursing errors, misread X-rays or other diagnostic tests, prescription errors, and lack of informed consent.

If a product cannot be designed completely safe, then a manufacturer has an obligation to provide clear instructions and warnings as to its use. When a product has defects in its design, manufacture, or in the instructions, labeling and warnings to users, those defects or deficiencies may result in a foreseeable injury. Whether it's from prescription drugs, medical devices, appliances, power tools, home or lawn maintenance devices, automobiles, motorcycles, cosmetics or baby products, to name a few, personal injury from a defective product could entitle you to damages from the manufacturer.
