Medical Malpractice Legal Advice

When you visit a doctor for medical treatment, you have a right to expect that the care you receive will reflect the high standards established by the medical profession. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. While most healthcare professionals deliver excellent care, there are many occasions where hospitals, doctors, nurses, and other professionals act negligently. If you have suffered an injury that was caused by the negligent care of a medical professional, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages.

The best way to learn about your rights and options after being the victim of medical malpractice is to speak with Jeffrey M. Bloom in person. Please call (855) 208-3650 today to schedule your free consultation with our personal injury lawyer.

What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?

The medical community has created a set of standards for the quality of care that must be provided by all healthcare professionals. When these standards are not met, whether due to negligence, medical error or any other reason, it is considered medical malpractice. If you have been injured as a result of this medical malpractice, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for your damages.

Keep in mind that not all unsuccessful outcomes are the result of medical malpractice. In many cases, complications can occur even when extremely high quality care was provided by your doctor. In order to have a valid medical malpractice case, you must be able to demonstrate that your injuries were caused by the negligent actions of a healthcare professional and not simply as a result of the inherent risks associated with your procedure or condition.

Causes of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can be caused by just about any type of error or act of negligence by a healthcare professional. Some of the most common causes include:

• Failure to diagnose/misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Emergency room errors
• Birth injuries
• Anesthesia errors
• Nursing errors
• Medication errors
• Hospital errors
• Lack of informed consent

Proving Medical Malpractice

These cases can be very difficult to prove. In order to achieve a successful outcome in a medical malpractice claim, you must be able to demonstrate that:

• The healthcare professional owed you a duty of care
• There was a breach in this duty of care caused by a failure to meet the standards of care established by the medical profession
• You suffered an injury as a result of this breach in duty of care
