What Exactly is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, hospital or other health care provider breaches the standard of care, causing injury to a patient. These instances are usually completely preventable and often tragic. Common medical negligence claims include:
- Surgical mistakes
- Prescription errors
- Birth injuries
- Failure to diagnose/treat a condition
- Emergency room mistakes
- Failure to obtain informed consent
Do I Have a Case?
To pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit, you must be able to prove that a doctor's treatment fell below the standard of care and that the physician's negligence caused injury to a patient. The time and cost involved in handling these cases are extensive. These cases require a thorough review of medical records, as well as the input of medical specialists and other experts.
