LEGAL & MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

We have all come to rely upon professionals – whether in medicine or law – to provide reliable and accurate help. For the most part, that is what we are given. However, if you feel that an attorney or doctor acted improperly and caused you harm, you might have a malpractice suit.

Medical Malpractice (aka. “Med Mal”)

Medical malpractice is negligence typically committed by a doctor whose performance of duties departs from a standard of care of those with similar training and experience in the same community, resulting in harm. Most medical malpractice cases are based on the concept of negligence; that is, the patient was harmed because the health care provider either did something no reasonable doctor would do or failed to do something any reasonable doctor would do – and thereby caused an injury. Instances of medical malpractice might include misdiagnosing an injury or illness because routine tests and procedures were not followed, or prescribing a drug not approved for the patient’s condition.
