Medical Malpractice
Every year thousands of people are injured or killed as
a result of medical malpractice. Medical malpractice can
arise when a medical facility, doctor, or health care
provider injures a patient. Health care providers are
required to meet certain standards of acceptable care.
When they fail to do so and a person is injured because
of that failure, a medical malpractice claim arises. |

Medical malpractice suits can arise under different
circumstances: against a nursing home that provides specified
medical care; against a hospital for administering improper or
overdoses of medication, negligent nursing care, inadequate
sanitation, infection, or equipment failure; against a
physician, who in the general practice of medicine, deviates
from the general accepted standards of practice by delaying or
failing to properly diagnose a medical condition or by failing
to properly treat a medical condition, by failing to perform a
surgical procedure properly.
In most medical malpractice cases, the first step is to obtain
all of the medical records relating to the treatment received.
Medical malpractice may often be proven on the basis of what
is contained, or omitted, from those medical records. If you
suspect that you or a member of your family has been injured
as a result of medical malpractice, it is necessary to seek
the advice of a lawyer experienced in medical malpractice, to
be certain that your action is brought in a timely and
appropriate manner.
Medical errors kill or disable hundreds of thousands of
Americans every year. Doctors and medical professionals are
human, but when the lives of our loved ones rest in their
hands, we trust that they will give treatment in accordance
with the required standards of care.
