Medical Malpractice
What is Medical Malpractice?
If you are unfamiliar with medical malpractice, it’s when the victim, or family member, may take legal action against a medical or healthcare professional that has deviated from the typical standards of care for their profession. When deviating from those standards, an injury to a patient follows in suit. A few examples of this may include, but are not limited to:
- A doctor or hospital violates the standard of care, through negligence or errors in diagnosis, treatment, or aftercare.
- The accused negligence or violation causes an injury that is specifically due to the claimed negligence.
- The injury creates issues in the patient’s life or creates significant damages.
If these conditions are met, then you may be able to be compensated for any problems or complications you may be suffering from.
Which professions are liable?
Typically, medical malpractice liability is based on the laws of negligence. While this law varies by jurisdiction, the targeted professionals can also vary depending on the action that has been filed. Below is a list of professions that may be liable in medical malpractice laws:
- Physicians.
- Psychiatrists.
- Surgeons.
- Dentists.
- Nurses and Nurse Practitioners.
