MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical negligence or "malpractice" occurs when a physician or healthcare provider either fails to do
something that should have been done, or does something that should not have been done -- and the mistake
results in injury or death.
Doctors and other healthcare providers must follow certain standards
established by the medical community when caring for patients. A mistake resulting in death or injury
caused by the provider's failure to meet the required standard of care is negligence. It may include
injuring a patient in surgery, failing to diagnose or misdiagnosing an illness, and prescribing improper
medications.
Negligence may also be the result of improper care by a hospital, including problems with
medications, sanitation or nursing care. A healthcare provider may also be legally liable if a patient
does not give "informed consent" to a medical procedure that results in harm to the patient, even if the
procedure is performed properly.
The deviation from the standard of care must usually be proved through expert medical
testimony. This is where The Firm can really help you!
The Firm aggressively investigates and pursues
claims for catastrophic injuries and death as a result of a medical provider's negligence.
The Firm's
lawyers are experienced in determining whether or not malpractice has occurred. We have nurses and
doctors review the medical records to determine if negligence has occurred. Since such malpractice cases
are very expensive to prosecute and very difficult to win, only the most meritorious cases should be
pursued.
