MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Building Your Medical Malpractice Suit
Doctors, nurses and other medical personnel are supposed to be the ones our loved ones, and we can trust with our lives. As always, you cannot trust that every medical professional will abide by the oath they take and it can lead to tragedy for thousands of patients all over the US.
If you or a family member ever finds yourself suffering from a severe injury or even death as the result of a medical mistake, you can protect your rights by consulting an expert medical malpractice lawyer.
Injury or Other Bodily Harm
One this medical error is made, it cannot be undone, and sometimes an apology is not enough. In your initial consultation, you must be able to show that the medical error caused you bodily harm. Delays in diagnosis (stroke, heart attack, appendicitis, deep vein thrombosis), improperly placed prosthesis, or overdose causing death are all examples of injuries or damage that are actionable. You must have been harmed to proceed with a medical malpractice case.
Acquiring Proof for a Solid Medical Negligence Case
When you think you have cause for a medical malpractice suit, you need to act quickly in finding a suitable malpractice attorney. Medical professionals are often aware of their mistakes and try to cover them up in administration procedures following the surgery or procedure. You will need to prove the injury is connected to the negligence of the medical professional who performed the procedure. This connection is called causation, meaning the mistake caused you injury or harm. Causation is the most challenging part of proving any medical malpractice case and can get to be expensive as well. You'll need at least one expert witness, such as another doctor or medical professional that can explain how the mistake caused your injury.
Experts go a long way in any medical malpractice case. They are present to show the standard of care that you needed and how your doctor or nurse breached those expected standards.
