Other Negligence Matters
If you are a victim of professional medical negligence including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, failure to treat, birth injuries or prescription drug errors, feel free to contact us to properly assess your claim. In such claims, the injured must establish the existence of a doctor-patient relationship, the doctor’s failure to meet the appropriate standard of care for similar professionals in the same situation, causation, and actual damages. The onus is high to establish that the medical professional failed to follow the exact standard of care that must be followed depending upon the doctor’s specialty and the illness or injury at issue. We provide free initial consultation, and you pay no fee until we win.
How Do You Know If You Have a Case for Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice can be difficult to navigate, especially if you’ve suffered unexpected complications after treatment. To determine if you have a valid case, here are the key factors to consider:
Was There a Doctor-Patient Relationship?
A doctor-patient relationship must be established for a medical malpractice case. If the healthcare provider treated, advised, or provided care for your condition, they may be held accountable for any negligence. Without this formal relationship, proving malpractice becomes significantly harder.
Did the Doctor Fail to Provide Proper Care?
- Did they misdiagnose your condition?
- Were you subjected to unnecessary or incorrect treatments?
- Did they skip important steps that other competent doctors wouldn’t have missed?
Did the Negligence Cause Your Injury?
- Ask yourself: Would this injury or complication have occurred if I had received proper care?
- For example, a surgical mistake, like operating on the wrong body part, clearly links their negligence to your injury.
Did You Suffer Real Damages?
- Physical Pain: Did the error lead to prolonged recovery, additional surgeries, or chronic pain?
- Financial Loss: Have you faced mounting medical bills, lost income, or reduced earning potential?
- Emotional Toll: Has the ordeal impacted your mental health or quality of life for which you had to resort to psychological or psychiatric treatment or care.
