What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when there is a failure to meet the standards of care by a physician, nurse, physician's assistant, hospital or other medical provider which leads to injuries that could have been avoided. The health and wellness of our loved ones or ourselves is one of primary concern. When there is suffering or even death as a result of a lack of care, you need someone to help sort out the events and identify those responsible. A medical malpractice legal action seeks compensation from those accountable for the injuries. These types of cases are difficult to prove and require the expertise and investment of time that I devote to all my cases.
What is negligence?
General negligence is a legal term that describes a situation where there is a failure to use ordinary care and such failure results in injury or death. It can be caused by an action or a failure to act and includes car accidents, work related injuries, slip and falls, medical malpractice and nursing home abuse. Cases of medical malpractice and nursing home abuse are particularly devastating because they involve violations of the trust placed in professionals chosen to care for the sick and/or elderly.
