Medical Malpractice

As patients, we trust our medical providers to do their best to meet our health care needs. Unfortunately, there can be circumstances when a healthcare professional will fail to provide treatment according to the acceptable standard of care. When a medical provider breaches the duty of care owed to their patient, and that breach results in an injury, the patient may have a claim for medical malpractice.

Every day millions of people rely on doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to provide them with competent care. When one of these providers commits medical malpractice, the consequences can be catastrophic or even deadly. In such a situation, the injured person should contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible to discuss their potential claim.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical professionals are required to provide services according to a reasonable standard of care. Generally, this means that providers must make treatment-related decisions at the same level of care as other reasonably prudent practitioners.

How is the standard of care determined?

How do you determine the standard of care? In a medical malpractice case, what a reasonably prudent practitioner would have done in the same circumstance is established through evidence and expert testimony.

At The Daily Firm, P.C.,  we know how to obtain and present the evidence you need to prove that your doctor or other medical provider breached the standard of care and committed malpractice. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
