Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is a legal term used, when doctors, nurses, pharmacists or other medical professionals cause serious injuries or death of a patient due to errors or negligence such as: misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, failure to diagnose, incorrect treatment, surgical errors, prescription errors and emergency negligence.
If you believe medical error or negligence has caused you serious injury or is responsible for the death of a loved one, you may be able to pursue a medical malpractice claim against a negligent healthcare provider, hospital, physician or nurse to recover compensation for damages. You can also sue for malpractice, if you believe the death of a family member was the result of medical error.
Establishing liability, however, is not always a simple, straightforward task and not all medical errors or injuries have grounds for a medical malpractice claim. With many diseases and conditions, there are calculated risks and margins of error in diagnosis and treatment.
When serious injury or death occurs, determining what went wrong with the medical treatment requires a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances. Medical malpractice cases, by nature are complex and often take years to resolve. You will need a lawyer who has experience with the intricacies of medical malpractice law, the resources and the dedication to pursue your claim.
