Breaking down every step of the Medical Malpractice Process

What are the different categories of medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice law is a subgroup of personal injury law and is designed to compensate you for the harm the defendant caused. Any divergence from accepted medical standards can be considered medical malpractice. Below are a few examples of medical malpractice:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Failure to Treat
  • Hospital infections
  • Birth Injuries
  • Medication errors
  • Surgical or procedural errors

Shockingly, medical malpractice is considered the third leading cause of death in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Filing a medical malpractice lawsuit

Did you know that medical malpractice is a leading cause of wrongful death in the United States? Medical malpractice is a complex issue that has been heatedly debated for years. There is no single cause for medical malpractice, but there are several factors that lead to it. One factor is the pressure that doctors are under to deliver results quickly. Another factor is the lack of training in the healthcare community and the tendency for doctors to think of themselves as above the law.

Finding the best medical malpractice lawyer

It’s never easy finding the best medical malpractice lawyer for your case. You may be tempted to go with the first law firm you see or the first billboard you pass, but that might not be the best decision. There are many different factors that go into deciding who is the best. Some lawyers specialize in specific areas, and it’s important to know what your case needs before you start looking.

The lawyer should be experienced, knowledgeable, and honest. You want someone who will be there for you every step of the way. Whichever online or offline source of knowledge you’re using to gather information about prospective lawyers, make sure that it’s trustworthy and reliable.
