Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to a patient.

Common cases include misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and failure to properly treat or monitor a patient.

If a medical professional’s negligence caused serious injury or worsened your condition, an attorney can review your records and consult medical experts to evaluate your claim.

These cases often require expert testimony, detailed medical records, and proof of how a provider’s actions deviated from accepted medical standards.

Damages may include medical expenses, lost income, future care costs, pain and suffering, and long-term or permanent disability.

Some cases resolve through settlement or mediation, but experienced legal counsel prepares every case for trial if necessary.
