It is a fact of life. Mistakes are made by healthcare professionals. Medical malpractice mistakes are made during testing, diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients. Medical malpractice attorneys at Galfand Berger can help you file a claim. Legal action can be taken against these healthcare professionals and institutions:
- Doctors
- Nurses
- Aides
- Psychiatrists
- Dentists
- Other healthcare workers
- Hospitals
- Nursing homes
- Other facilities
People have suffered medical malpractice or negligence from:
- Failure to respond to fetal distress
- Failure to properly test for clogged arteries
- poor techniques being administered during operations
- Poor post operative care
- Falls or bedsores occurring in nursing homes.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider is negligent—either performing or omitting something that is considered standard medical practice—and causes injury to the patient through that negligence.
Medical professionals cannot guarantee medical results. When an unexpected or unsuccessful result occurs it does not necessarily mean there was malpractice.
If you feel you have a case, talk to a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible. Tell your attorney what happened starting with your first visit. Remember to bring your medical records with you.
To prove medical malpractice you must show that:
1. Your healthcare provider had a legal duty to provide care or treatment for you.
2. That duty was breached because the provider failed to provide you with the appropriate care that another healthcare worker would have provided.
3. That breach caused an injury.
4. You suffered monetary or emotional damages as a result of the injury.
No. You may still recover if you can show that your doctor was negligent and that you were injured due to that doctor’s negligence.
