What Is Medical Malpractice?
This situation occurs when a health care provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in patient injury or death. Common examples include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis leading to incorrect or postponed treatment
- Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the patient
- Medication mistakes, including prescribing the wrong drug or dosage
- Failure to treat a known condition appropriately or in a timely manner
Since each case requires proving that the provider’s negligence caused measurable harm, we stand ready to investigate, evaluate and pursue medical malpractice claims with constant legal commitment.
Key Elements Of A Medical Malpractice Claim
To pursue a successful claim, plaintiffs must establish four critical elements:
- Duty of care: The health care provider had a responsibility to deliver care according to medical standards.
- Breach of duty: The provider’s actions fell below those standards.
- Causation: The breach directly caused the injury or worsened the patient’s condition.
- Damages: The harm led to financial or nonfinancial losses, such as medical bills or pain and suffering.
Either way, you deserve compassionate and aggressive legal representation to fight for your right to fair compensation and justice.
