MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
/You would like to trust a doctor, nurse or other medical professional to do their job to the best of their capabilities, but sometimes they fail at the very basics, leaving you and your loved ones with nowhere to turn. Medical Malpractice occurs when a medical professional or facility negligently provides care, and that negligence causes an injury to the plaintiff. If a health care provider has failed to provide you or a loved one with acceptable medical care resulting in injury or death, you may be due to receive significant compensation. For example, if a doctor improperly reads an x-ray or other medical study and fails to properly treat a patient causing injury, he could be found negligent and therefore responsible for the patient’s medical bills, lost wages, as well as for compensating the patient for the pain and suffering he or she suffered as a result of the doctor’s malpractice. Whether the medical error took place in a hospital, a doctor’s office, an outpatient clinic, or a nursing home, medical malpractice can occur in various settings and can be caused by a multitude of circumstances.
