Hilton Head, SC Medical Malpractice

When you visit a doctor or other licensed medical provider, you have every right to expect professional treatment and quality care. They are, after all, supposed to be professionals.

Sadly, though, that’s not always the case. In fact, according to a 2018 study, medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., trailing only behind heart disease and cancer.

If you or a loved one believe you are a victim of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation. Our firm has over 30 years of experience handling medical malpractice lawsuits. We know exactly what to look for and how to help you through this process. Contact us today for a free case evaluation to learn more.

FAQ

Morgan & Morgan

    What is Medical Malpractice?

    Medical malpractice is when a licensed doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider causes injury to a patient due to a “negligent act or omission.”

    A negligent act means that the doctor provided reckless, inattentive treatment, such as an avoidable diagnosis error or unnecessary surgery. Omission means that the doctor failed to do something critical, like recognize symptoms or order proper testing.

    Medical malpractice does not necessarily mean that you faced an unfavorable or undesirable medical outcome: doctors cannot guarantee results for any medical condition or treatment.
