What Is Medical Malpractice?
Situations of medical malpractice occur when a doctor or another health care worker offers treatment that does not meet an acceptable standard of care in the medical community, which puts the patient at risk of suffering an injury or death. Generally speaking, if health care workers don’t take action in situations where other individuals who have the same level of training would have, then they are often considered liable for the losses or injuries that result.
Medical malpractice is a subgroup of tort law dealing with professional negligence. Most medical malpractice cases contain four key elements:
- A professional duty owed to the patient
- The medical professional breached this duty
- There was an injury resulting from the breach
- Damages suffered
Each of these elements has its own nuances and complications. Our attorneys have handled many medical malpractice cases, so we can help you determine if you have a viable claim.
