Medical Malpractice

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is negligent care given by a health care provider - doctor, nurse, dentist, hospital or others - that falls below that standard of care of similar providers that causes harm to a patient. These standards of care may be published by a medical society or other organization, and are required knowledge for medical professionals.

Unfortunately for their patients, some medical professionals give care that falls below these standards; care that is negligent and harms their patients, such as delay in the diagnosis of cancer leading to loss of a chance of a cure, or misdiagnosing a condition because routine tests or procedures were not ordered.

It takes experts to determine what is negligent and what could have been done to avoid the harm from that negligence. Call me to evaluate your medical malpractice case.
