Medical Malpractice

Honest Evaluation of Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice occurs when a patient suffers an avoidable, serious injury or premature death due to a health care provider's failure to act according to established medical standards.

Medical malpractice may occur in many different ways, such as when:

• a doctor fails to properly diagnose a serious health condition
• a doctor makes avoidable mistakes during surgery or during the postoperative period
• an emergency room professional provides inadequate care for a patient with a life-threatening condition
• a nurse or physician gives a patient the wrong medication

In all these examples — and in any type of medical malpractice case — two conditions should be present if the case has any likelihood of success. First, the doctor or nurse must make a recognizable mistake. Second, the mistake must result in a serious, avoidable injury or premature death.
