If your medical treatment produced harmful results, call our office today for a free consultation to discuss your options.
Requirements for a medical malpractice claim
There are three components that must be met for a medical malpractice claim to succeed:
Negligence. Every healthcare professional — doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and nearly everyone else providing a service in the healthcare industry — must meet a standard of care. That standard of care holds that a healthcare professional must act like any other reasonably prudent professional in a similar situation.
Causation. The law also requires that the healthcare professional’s negligence caused the resulting injury. A healthcare professional may be guilty of medical malpractice for actively doing something harmful or for omitting something from treatment that led to harm. For more than 25 years, our personal injury attorneys have established cause for medical malpractice victims.
Injury. There must be an injury, although it may be physical, mental, or emotional.
