What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical Malpractice is the failure of a doctor or a surgeon to exercise the same degree of care and skill that any other physician of the same medical specialty would employ under similar circumstances.
If a doctor treats a patient in a way that no other competent doctor would, a patient may have a medical malpractice claim. From a doctor leaving a sponge in a patient’s stomach during an operation, to failing to tell a patient that a prescribed drug might cause heart failure—doctors and hospitals can make catastrophic mistakes.
State statutes often mandate that medical malpractice cases be filed soon after an injury. If you are the victim of medical malpractice, do not delay. You deserve compensation for your injuries. You deserve your day in court. We are here to help you fight for your right to competent medical treatment.
Most medical malpractice claims arise from physician’s improper or incompetent administration of treatment, failure to warn a patient of known risks associated with a treatment, or failure to diagnose a patient’s medical condition. Common injuries include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Omission of treatment
- Childbirth injuries including Cerebral and Klumpke’s Palsy
- Medication errors
- Anesthesia and surgical errors
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
