Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to the patient. These cases are often complex and require skilled legal and medical analysis to prove.

To win a malpractice claim, we must show:

1. A doctor-patient relationship existed.

2. The medical provider acted negligently or deviated from the standard of care.

3. That negligence directly caused injury or harm to the patient.

4. The patient suffered measurable damages as a result.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

  Failure to diagnose serious conditions such as cancer, stroke, heart attack, or infections can lead to life-threatening consequences.
