WHAT ARE THE GROUNDS FOR A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CLAIM?

We place a lot of trust in medical professionals. And in many instances, we literally trust them with our lives. Doctors and nurses have difficult jobs, and most of them are ethical, committed professionals. The law has long recognized that a tragic outcome does not, by itself, qualify as medical malpractice.

However, medical professionals are still capable of making unacceptable mistakes, and those mistakes tend to result in devastating injuries to innocent patients.

Medical malpractice law revolves around the concept of “standards of care.” A standard of care is an accepted method of treatment or prevention that a reasonably competent medical professional would be expected to follow in a given set of circumstances. Failure to follow a standard of care is often a form of negligence and is grounds for a medical malpractice claim.

You shouldn’t try to determine on your own if your case qualifies as medical malpractice. Speak to us at a free consultation and give us the opportunity to evaluate your claim.
