Medical malpractice, also known as medical negligence, occurs when a healthcare professional or provider fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonable person in the same profession would provide under similar circumstances, resulting in harm to the patient. This negligence can arise from errors in diagnosis, treatment, medication, or even a lack of communication.
Client’s case
A senior citizen was forced to undergo a below-the-knee amputation after improperly performed vascular surgery damaged the blood supply to her leg. We obtained a court order directing the hospital to retain the amputated leg. The evidence that our rapid response enabled us to develop was critical in obtaining a significant settlement.
