Have you sustained an injury because of a medical malpractice? Was a family member’s death the result of negligence of a healthcare provider? Or perhaps you have suffered adverse health effects after medical treatment and you suspect that it could have been actively prevented. You deserve to find out if this injury was caused by negligence on the part of a healthcare facility or provider.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a serious injury or condition is caused or worsened by negligence or error of a healthcare provider. It also includes injuries caused by faulty equipment, improper training, or poor conditions of a healthcare facility. Some examples of medical malpractice include:
- The misreading of lab results and X-rays
- The misdiagnosis of a disease and illness
- Poor surgical technique
- Inadequate postoperative care
- Being prescribed the wrong medication; and
- Any act or conduct on the part of a medical practitioner that departs from what is considered to be an adequate standard of care and causes injury to the patient.
Any of the above can result in the patient suffering severe medical consequences, including but not limited to:
- Expensive medical bills
- Loss of income
- Worsening of their medical condition
- Loss of a limb, body part, or life
In these cases, not only did the health care professional breach his or her a legal and professional duty to the patient, he or she has violated the patient’s trust, which can lead to a considerable amount emotional distress for the affected person.
No matter who or what is at fault, you deserve to know the truth. The best way to find out if your injury is the result of medical malpractice is to hire an experienced lawyer to investigate. They will find any relevant evidence, interview witnesses, and research the details surrounding the incident. If they discover that your injury was indeed the result of negligence, error, or faulty equipment, a skilled attorney will work hard to build a case for you. If your injury was caused by a medical malpractice and could have easily been prevented, you deserve compensation. Let a professional take care of the details and fight while you focus on what matters most: your health and a full recovery.
