What Is a Medical Malpractice Case?
The term “medical malpractice” applies to cases in which medical professionals fail to provide patients with adequate care and attention. Recklessness or negligence can make an injury or illness worse, or it could even create a brand new problem.
You may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit if a medical professional:
- Fails to recognize key symptoms, leading to a misdiagnosis of your condition
- Prescribes the wrong type of medication to treat your ailment
- Administers too much or too little anesthesia before an operation
- Is not qualified to treat patients
- Uses excessive force when delivering a baby, leading to a birth injury
These are just a few examples, and the issue isn’t always with the medical professionals—sometimes it’s the devices that malfunction. Whether it’s the fault of the individual or the machine, however, an error may still constitute medical malpractice.
How Can an Attorney Help?
If you were the victim of medical malpractice, you’ll need an attorney with an intimate understanding of two separate areas: medicine and law. Morgan & Morgan’s medical malpractice attorneys have a proven track record that spans decades, and we are happy to walk you through the process from start to finish.
We will:
- Collect and analyze evidence
- Identify losses and damages
- Determine liability
- Negotiate with the defense
- If necessary, prepare the best case possible for trial
How Do You Prove Medical Malpractice?
In order to win the lawsuit and be compensated for your hardships, you need to prove that medical malpractice took place—this is where your attorney shines. First, it helps to understand a few concepts.
- Duty of care: Medical professionals are responsible for providing patients with a certain standard of care.
- Breach of duty: This occurs when the medical professional fails to meet that standard.
- Causation: The injury, condition, or complication is a direct result of the breach of duty.
- Damages: The victim suffered from financial or physical damages such as additional medical bills or emotional distress from the incident.
Our attorneys can effectively prove that a duty of care existed, it was breached, and it was the cause of physical or financial loss for the victim. Then we fight to get you full remuneration.
