Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice refers to a medical professional’s failure to provide appropriate care or treatment to a patient, resulting in an injury or harm to the patient.
Various actions can be considered as medical malpractice, including:
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Medication errors
- Failure to obtain informed consent
It is important to note that not all medical outcomes that result in harm or death are necessarily due to medical malpractice. Sometimes, medical procedures carry risks, and unexpected outcomes can occur, despite appropriate care and treatment.
If you believe you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney who can help you understand your legal rights and options. They can guide you through the process of filing a medical malpractice claim, including gathering evidence, working with medical experts, and negotiating a settlement or pursuing litigation. It is important to act quickly, as there are strict deadlines for filing medical malpractice claims in many jurisdictions.
