Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is defined as a hospital, doctor, or medical professional’s failure to meet an expected standard of care by acting incompetently, negligently or maliciously. Medical malpractice is common in the United States. Approximately 80,000 deaths per year are thought to be the result of negligence or wrongdoing in the medical field. Medical malpractice can occur in any medical or healthcare field in which injury is caused by a breached standard of care.

There are many types of medical mistakes, including birth injury, surgical and anesthesia errors, prescription mistakes, failure to diagnose, and wrongful death, among others. In order to prove a medical malpractice case, you must show that your injury is the result of a mistake made due to the negligence or wrongdoing of a medical professional.

It is important to know that all medical malpractice cases are subject to a statute of limitations, which limits the time you have to file a case. An experienced attorney can be helpful in familiarizing you with these and other laws regarding your medical malpractice case.
