Medical malpractice cases are generally sought by patients who have been harmed or injured due to poor medical treatment or mistaken diagnosis from a medical provider such as a doctor, nurse, technician, hospital or medical worker. Typically, the measure of whether a medical provider was “negligent,” or failed to provide proper care, turns on whether the patient would have received the same standard of care from another medical provider under similar circumstances.
While the majority of health care providers aim to exercise the highest standard of care for all patents, there are times when things can go gravely wrong. If you or a loved one has experienced poor medical care, misdiagnosis, lack of consent, or breach of doctor-patient confidentiality that has resulted in harm or injury, you may be entitled to medical malpractice recovery.
When a serious injury or wrongful death occurs as a result of medical treatment, the malpractice lawyers at Med Mal Advocates can investigate what may have gone wrong. Millions of dollars in compensation have been obtained by our clients through medical malpractice lawsuits, and our attorneys have the experience and resources necessary to protect your family.
Most negligence incidents that usually result in injury and a medical malpractice claim are the following:
Misdiagnosis
Failure to Diagnose in Time
Surgical Error
Failure to Follow Up With Treatment
Failure to Treat in a Timely Manner
Anesthesia Error
Medication or Prescription Error
The amount of compensation you may receive by a medical malpractice lawsuit is directly related to the extent of the injury, or damages. The latter typically includes all the medical costs associated with your injury, any lost income due to an inability to work, future lost earnings caused by a medical injury or disability, as well as damages such as pain and suffering.
Medical Malpractice Advocates attorneys can analyze medical records and all tests and studies such as MRI, CAT Scan, pathology studies, etc. necessary to determine your medical malpractice claim.
A number of medical malpractice attorneys handle specific medical malpractice claims such as misdiagnosis of cancer, anesthesia or surgical error, medication or prescription error. Some attorneys only handle medical negligence. All medical malpractice lawsuits are complex and many are technical; it is imperative that you seek an appropriate lawyer for your case. Medical Malpractice Advocates has expertise in all areas and will help you understand the process.
