Medical malpractice, in its most simplistic form, is a legal claim occurring when a medical professional, such as a doctor or a nurse, deviates from the standards in his/her profession and it caused an injury to a patient.
The key factors to prove a medical malpractice case other than the patient getting hurt are a showing that:
The mistake or omission can happen at any time during medical treatment. For example, your doctor or medical staff may make a mistake diagnosing your illness, or she may not give you the proper treatment or medication for that illness. The key here is the standard of care. This is the generally accepted method or methods used by other medical professionals in the area to treat or care for patients under the same or similar circumstances.
Medical malpractice cases are usually complicated from the start and usually take quite some time to complete, sometimes years. There is a lot to prove and the defense usually does not pay damages without a battle. The medical professional’s insurance company is usually behind the defense and we all know insurance companies have plenty of well-qualified and experienced attorneys who will defend medical professional. The defense is also going to have an arsenal of experts to aid in the defense. For these reasons, you will need a competent and experienced medical malpractice attorney to pursue these types of cases – we offer a free consultation – what do you have to lose?
Pursuing a medical malpractice case is expensive. The experts necessary to pursue such a claim of medical malpractice cost considerable amounts of money in addition to courts costs such a filing fees and the costs of obtaining the necessary discovery or evidence.
