A medical negligence claim may arise if a lack of care and skill in the performance of medical treatment provided to you by your doctor, your hospital, your dentist or your pharmacist. This can also be called a ‘medical malpractice’ claim.
Medical Malpractice Attorney Handles a Wide Range of Cases
A medical malpractice attorney represents victims of doctors’ mistakes and omissions, and handles a wide range of medical malpractice cases, including the ones listed below:
1. Injuries sustained at birth
2. Failure to diagnose cancer
3. Misdiagnosis
4. Surgical Errors
5. Wrong prescriptions
What happens if I win a medical negligence claim?
You may be eligible for financial compensation- if you can prove that your injury was caused by negligent treatment, and the medical care received is below the accepted standard of care for the condition- resulting in significant avoidable injury, worsening of the condition, unnecessary suffering or wrongful death.
Consulting a medical malpractice attorney
It is crucial to remember that the state in which the injury occurred and patient’s residence may play a role in determining which State’s law to apply when it comes to medical malpractice lawsuits. Every state has its own rules for statute of limitations, thus consulting an attorney is vital to make sure your rights are preserved and your action is filed timely. A medical malpractice lawyer will carefully review all the hospital records surrounding the client’s treatment and may choose to depose certain witnesses to establish that the doctor was negligent and careless in his treatment and care of the patient.
