Medical Negligence

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, dentist, nurse or other medical or healthcare provider departs from a standard of practice of those with similar training and experience and fails to exercise adequate skill, diligence or care when rendering medical treatment, causing injury to a patient. Improper care by a healthcare provider, including but not limited to failing to diagnose or improperly diagnosing a medical condition, improper birthing procedures, improper and unnecessary surgeries, surgical errors, hospital errors, failing to timely treat a condition, defective drug products and cancer misdiagnosis can result in serious pain and suffering and physical and emotional injuries, even death.
