What Is Medical Malpractice?
Have You Been Injured by a Medical Professional? You May Have a Medical Malpractice Claim
If you have suffered an injury due to a mistake made by a medical professional, you may be able to file a medical malpractice claim in order to recover some of your damages.
What is medical malpractice, you ask? Medical malpractice refers to any act committed (or any act omitted) by a medical professional (including dentists, nurses, surgeons, doctors, pharmacists, therapists, psychologists, etc.) that does not adhere to a standard level of quality and professionalism comparable to other professionals in the field. Medical malpractice claims can include, among other things, misdiagnoses, incorrect treatments, improper dosage of drugs, surgical errors, or pharmaceutical errors. And doctors are not the only medical professionals susceptible to medical malpractice lawsuits. Dentists, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, psychologists, and many others are susceptible to lawsuits as well.
But you should know that medical malpractice suits are among the most difficult of all personal injury cases. There has recently been many tort reforms making it more difficult for victims of medical malpractice to win their cases. Essentially, legislators felt that medical professionals needed to be protected and so they provided strict conditions that must be met before a medical professional can be held liable for an injury.
Even if your case meets all these conditions, simply the way you present your case can be the difference between recovering damages and getting nothing. If your case is presented by someone without extensive medical malpractice experience, your honest chances of a successful lawsuit are virtually nonexistent.
