Is your doctor ignoring you?

Many doctors see dozens of patients a day & you may feel like you’ve been lost in the shuffle. A negligent doctor may dismiss you if your procedure is complete, or if they fail to understand the severity of your symptoms. Don’t let your doctor dismiss you. Make yourself heard.

What is Medical Malpractice?

What is Medical Malpractice? Medical malpractice is defined as any act or omission by a physician during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient.

Medical malpractice law in the United States is derived from English common law, and was developed by rulings in various state courts.

Medical malpractice lawsuits are a relatively common occurrence in the United States. The legal system is designed to encourage extensive discovery and negotiations between adversarial parties with the goal of resolving the dispute without going to jury trial.

Medical malpractice is a specific subset of tort law that deals with professional negligence.

“Tort” is the Norman word for “wrong,” and tort law is a body of law that creates and provides remedies for civil wrongs that are distinct from contractual duties or criminal wrongs [24].

“Negligence” is generally defined as conduct that falls short of a standard; the most commonly used standard in tort law is that of a so-called “reasonable person.”

The reasonable person standard is a legal fiction, created so the law can have a reference standard of reasoned conduct that a person in similar circumstances would do, or not do, in order to protect another person from a foreseeable risk of harm.

What to do if You've Been Hurt

Our medical malpractice lawyers must show that the physician acted negligently in rendering your care, and that such negligence resulted in injury.

To do so, four legal elements must be proven:

  1. A professional duty owed to the patient
  2. Breach of such duty
  3. Injury caused by the breach
  4. Resulting damages: money damages, if awarded, typically take into account both actual economic loss and non-economic loss, such as pain and suffering.
