Pediatric Malpractice

Pediatric malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider who cares for children makes a mistake or fails to provide the standard of care, leading to injury or health issues. This could involve misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, medication errors, or improper procedures. When such negligence results in harm to a child, the affected family may seek legal recourse to address the injury and hold the provider accountable. It's important to recognize that not all adverse outcomes are malpractice; it involves a breach of professional duty that causes harm.
