Chiropractic Negligence

CHIROPRACTIC NEGLIGENCE CLAIM IN DENVER, CO

Pursue Compensation with a National Medical Malpractice Attorney

Chiropractic adjustments can cause serious injury if performed incorrectly, or if performed on a patient who should not undergo chiropractic manipulation.

A chiropractor can cause serious injury by failing to comply with the Standard of Care in evaluating a patient or performing chiropractic adjustment.

Improper neck or back adjustments can cause a dissection or “tear” of the major vessels in the neck, resulting in a stroke from obstructed blood flow to the brain.

The stroke may occur immediately after the adjustment or it can take days or even weeks and sometimes people don’t even realize that their symptoms are the result of an adjustment.

At Denver Trial Lawyers®, we are well-equipped to handle cases involving chiropractic negligence.
