A malpractice lawyer, also known as a medical malpractice lawyer, typically handles cases involving medical negligence or medical malpractice. This includes situations where a healthcare provider such as a doctor, nurse, or hospital fails to provide a patient with the accepted standard of care, causing the patient harm.
Common types of cases that a malpractice lawyer may handle include misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, and wrongful death cases.
It should be noted that there may be specific limitations or exceptions to malpractice cases depending on the jurisdiction where the case is being heard. For example, in some states, medical malpractice cases may be subject to caps on damages that can be awarded to the plaintiff.
If you believe that you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to consult with a qualified malpractice lawyer as soon as possible. The lawyer can evaluate the facts of your case and advise you on your legal options, which may include filing a lawsuit to recover damages for your injuries.
