Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice claims arise when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care expected in their profession, leading to harm or injury to a patient. This can involve errors in diagnosis, treatment, or aftercare. To succeed in a malpractice claim, the patient must demonstrate that the provider was negligent, that this negligence directly caused the injury, and that the injury resulted in specific damages, such as medical expenses or suffering. These claims are complex and often require expert testimony to establish the standard of care and the breach of that standard.
