Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable
When you seek medical care, you trust healthcare professionals to provide competent treatment. When that trust is broken due to negligence, substandard care, or medical errors, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and losses.What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury to the patient. To prove medical malpractice, we must establish:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed
- The healthcare provider breached the standard of care
- The breach directly caused injury or harm
- The injury resulted in specific damages
