media_681b11437d6ab.jpg

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider causes injury through negligence or omission. To qualify legally, the provider must have breached the standard of care and caused direct harm.

Common Types of Malpractice

Cases often involve:

Proving Your Case

To succeed in a malpractice claim, you must prove:

  1. A doctor-patient relationship existed

  2. The provider breached the standard of care

  3. This breach directly caused injury

  4. You suffered damages (physical, emotional, financial)

How to File a Claim

Most states have a two- to three-year statute of limitations. You’ll need medical records, expert testimony, and a qualified attorney to assess the strength of your case. Some states also require a certificate of merit from a medical expert.

Why You Need a Malpractice Lawyer

Medical malpractice cases are complex and heavily defended. A skilled attorney will help you gather evidence, meet legal deadlines, and pursue maximum compensation for pain, suffering, and medical expenses.
