Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional or facility fails to exercise care or skill when treating a patient. Common types of medical malpractice include incorrect diagnoses and failure to disclose certain treatment options, birth injuries, medication errors, and surgical errors, which includes leaving foreign objects inside the patient after surgery. When a doctor is negligent, the consequences can be tragic and devastating.  The grief, distress, and pain can be overwhelming.  The future medical costs can be enormous. In order to prevail in a medical malpractice suit you must prove that the doctor acted unreasonably and the physician’s conduct was a direct cause of injury. Unless both issues are proved, there is no case. A doctor is not negligent, however, simply because his or her efforts were unsuccessful. Research shows that more than 80% of medical malpractice cases result in no recovery for the injured person. Choosing the right lawyer is critical for accomplishing the right result in your case.
