Discuss your podiatric injury with our malpractice attorneys.

Podiatric malpractice is a mistake by a podiatrist that results in injury to the patient. According to the law, it is a "deviation" from podiatric standards of care.

Podiatric malpractice cases commonly involve disabling foot injuries from the following:

  • Hammertoe surgery
  • Amputation of foot or toes
  • Multiple unnecessary surgeries
  • Bone or heel spur surgery
  • Bunion surgery

    Malpractice in this area often involves failing to exhaust all treatments before turning to surgery. It can also involve injury to parts of the inside of the foot due to carelessness or inexperience.
