Medical Malpractice — Practitioner

You’re a busy professional, and the charge of malpractice is a serious one that compounds the stress you’re already working under.

While most malpractice charges are unfounded and will not make it to court, we understand the worry and trepidation of facing a charge that can threaten your livelihood.

Litigating against a healthcare professional is not the same as suing somebody for a car accident. It is not enough to show that there was a bad outcome. It has to be shown that the healthcare provider fell below the standard of care expected of their profession.

In addition, it must be established that the act of the healthcare provider led to the harm that the plaintiff now suffers from. This is called "causation" and is sometimes the biggest issue in a medical malpractice claim. How do you distinguish between the normal disease process and the complication that occurred? How do you show that the complication is not one that is normally expected of this type of procedure, but was in fact caused by negligence? These are questions that need to be carefully examined.
