Medical malpractice laws are in place to protect a patients’ right to receive financial compensation for medical negligence and malpractice caused by a healthcare provider.

Medical malpractice and negligence claims include the failure to diagnose an illness or disease, the failure to treat an illness properly, the failure to perform a correct surgical procedure, the failure to administer anesthesia correctly, inflicting birth injuries and any other medical errors resulting in injury or death.

Medical treatment in itself does not guarantee a good outcome if you have a serious illness or disease. A bad outcome or death does not always mean your healthcare provider was guilty of medical malpractice. However, some warning signs that you may be a victim of medical malpractice include the treatment you are receiving has not improved your condition because you may have been misdiagnosed, you develop an infection after surgery, or you have an unexpected reaction to a medication.

If you are injured as a result of medical malpractice and negligence you have a legal right to be financially compensated for current and future medical expenses, the pain and suffering the medical malpractice has caused you, lost wages and other costs related to your injury.

Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and require the expertise of a skilled and knowledgeable legal team that will work diligently to get you the financial compensation you deserve.
