What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice (also called medical negligence) occurs when a physician fails to properly treat a medical condition and the negligent act or omission is the cause of a new or aggravated injury to the patient. Obviously the physician cannot be responsible for an original underlying medical problem.

Our Medical Malpractice attorneys are skilled in recognizing a vast variety of situations where medical negligence has occurred.

Medical Malpractice can Occur in a Variety of Situations

Negligence that may be remedied through a medical malpractice claim can occur in a variety of situations.

• There may be "medical malpractice" by a delay or failure in diagnosing a disease.
• A surgical or anesthesia related mishap during an operative procedure could constitute medical malpractice.
• Malpractice may involve the physician's failure to gain the informed consent of the patient for an operation or surgical procedure.
• A physician, who has made the correct diagnosis, may thereafter commit malpractice by failing to properly treat the disease process.
• Misuse of prescription drugs or a medical device or implant can also be medical malpractice.
