Malpractice Litigation

Malpractice litigation refers to legal cases where a professional, often a healthcare provider, is accused of failing to meet the required standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient or client. This can include actions like misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or neglect. The affected party may seek compensation for damages, which can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. To succeed in these cases, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the professional acted negligently, meaning they did not perform their duties as a reasonably competent professional would have in similar circumstances.
