About Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other health care provider deviates from standard care and, through negligence or error, causes injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can include birth injury, misdiagnoses of diseases or conditions, surgical complications due to error, sickness or death due to medication administration errors, and many other types of serious injury and wrongful death.

Keep in mind that a bad result due to a healthcare procedure or treatment doesn't automatically mean medical malpractice has occurred. A doctor may do everything correctly and may still lose a patient during surgery. This would not be a case of medical malpractice.

Making a medical malpractice claim can be a complex and lengthy process. To help build your case, a lawyer should be enlisted as soon as possible to gather and preserve critical evidence. Medical experts must evaluate complex records, reports and testimony. Negotiation may come into play with mediation or arbitration. While most medical malpractice lawsuits never progress to the stage of jury trials, your lawsuit may be one of the cases that does. Depending on the claim, a medical malpractice case can last from nine months to over two years.
