What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice applies when errors by medical professionals cause or worsen injuries or illnesses. In order to have a valid case against a doctor or nurse, it must be proven that a doctor/patient relationship existed and, therefore, that the doctor owed you a duty to take reasonable measures to ensure your well-being. Furthermore, your attorney must prove that a doctor or nurse failed to act in a manner that a competent medical professional otherwise would have, and that this negligence was the cause of the damages for which you are seeking compensation.
Medical malpractice can take the following forms:
- Anesthesia error
- Birth injuries
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose
- Improper prescription
- Surgical errors
Since most individuals who are being treated by a doctor already have existing injuries and illnesses, it can be difficult to prove that your damages were caused by the actions of your practitioner. Defendants will argue that your injury was pre-existing and will provide medical records as evidence. However, a competent and efficient personal injury attorney from our firm can fight to prove that the doctor's actions exacerbated your injuries, or caused new ones that did not exist prior to his or her treatment.
Pursue Justice for the Loss of Your Loved One
If the actions of a doctor or nurse led to or failed to prevent the death of your loved one, you may have a case of wrongful death on the basis of medical malpractice. These cases can be difficult to pursue, but we have the experience and dedication that you need. If a medical professional failed to take necessary and reasonable action to adequately diagnose or treat fatal illnesses, he or she may be responsible. Our firm is dedicated to holding practitioners accountable for the loss of life, because we understand the frustration and stress that it can cause. We place our trust and our lives in our medical professionals, and they should be held accountable when their negligence fails us.
