Are You A Victim Of Medical Malpractice?
A doctor or other medical professional who made a mistake in treatment may or may not have committed medical malpractice. A successful medical malpractice claim or lawsuit will be based on the legal concept called the “duty of care.” A doctor, nurse, or another practitioner must exercise a reasonable level of care when diagnosing or treating a patient.
The first step is to establish that your doctor failed to act reasonably in delivering treatment, diagnosing a condition, or other medical care, breaching his or her duty of care. Evaluating a suspected case of medical malpractice will require a full review of your medical records to determine whether medical negligence or a medical error occurred.
Why You Need A Medical Malpractice Attorney
A successful medical malpractice lawsuit will involve fully establishing four elements, supported by compelling evidence:
- The doctor or other medical professional owed you a duty of care.
- That party acted in a manner that breached the duty of care.
- The medical professional breached the duty of care.
- You or a loved one suffered measurable harm as a result of the error or negligent medical care.
If you think that a family member may be a victim of medical malpractice, you need legal counsel from an experienced medical malpractice attorney who has an extensive track record of success. Medical malpractice cases are often complicated, highly-technical, and will require a skilled attorney to help you bring a lawsuit.
Who Is Held Liable In Medical Malpractice Cases?

- The doctor, nurse, or another medical professional who made the error or acted in a negligent manner
- The hospital, clinic, or health center
- The pharmaceutical company
