Medical malpractice claims can include failure to properly diagnose, failure to properly monitor, errors during surgery, failure to communicate or inform patients of risks, failure to properly treat, and even improper or incompetent use of equipment. It is important to note that this list is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative.

    What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?


    Medical malpractice, or medical negligence, occurs when a healthcare professional fails in the follow required standards of care and injures a patient as a result. In legal terms, it means that there was a duty of care owed to a patient, and the health professional violated this duty, which caused the patient’s injuries and damages.

    Pursuing a medical malpractice claim can be costly and difficult. To make matters worse, doctors will often insist the situation was just one of those unavoidable complications. In all medical malpractice cases, the injured individual must be able to prove how the health provider caused their injury. This requires hiring medical experts who can help establish a case. Our firm fronts all case expenses, including the costs of experts. We only ask to be reimbursed if we win the case.
